Even if he gets us promoted I can’t see us staying up

I guess someone who has been promoted 3 times from this league doesn’t know how to get out of it. We are where we are because of people’s expectations and demands that we match the glory days of the 70’s. Buying player after player for inflated amounts to satisfy chairmen, fans and reach those expectations. 
 

The news is we are starting again rebuilding the Club from its grass roots and it does take time. In 1967 when Brian Clough first came here, moving from 4th Diivision Hartlepools to 2nd Division Derby, his first season was underwhelming, we finished in a lower position ,18th, than the previous season. We didn’t start the next season that well and things only improved after we signed Willie Carlin. Not saying for a moment that Paul Warne is in Brian Clough’s league, but he needs and deserves time to achieve success.

Whilst we did finish one position lower in BC's first season,the fans could see the dramatic improvement in the quality of football being played. Attendances improved from an average of 15857 to 20877, in spite of a disapointing end of season which saw just three points won in the final six games, all of them away from home. The following season saw only three points from the first five games, but Willie Carlin had been signed and played in the fifth game, starting  a run of only one defeat in 22 league games, plus seven wins in the two cup competitions also during that same period, and including the memorable victory over Chelsea at the BBG. The average league attendance at the end of that promotion season rose to 27658, followed by 35925 the following season when we finished 4th in Division 1. The common factor through all this was the QUALITY of the football played.....

Happy days indeed!
