Derby County have appointed Rotherham boss Paul Warne as their new head coach on a four-year deal.

He led the Millers to three promotions to the Championship but was also relegated from the division three times after taking over in November 2016.

Warne has taken all his backroom staff - Rotherham have done well on a samll budget and have been well organised up to now!
 

Surprised he’s been at Rotherham for so long and not been poached.

Really pleased for Warne. He’s gone down a division but now manages a reasonably big club.

Shame for Rosenior at Derby, think he was well liked by the fans but the powers that be obviously want promotion this season and have gone for someone with experience of success from div 1.

It's always struck me as a strange time to change manager, Warney can't sign any new players until January and even then he may be restricted.
This will be a good examination of his organisation and management skills

That will be the game he wants to watch on tele and assess, leaving it to the interim coach because he's a coward

it’s over 7 weeks away, the permanent manager is going to be in place long before that surely?

….however if it is Ainsworth I suspect A convenient bout of Covid will strike him down that week.

You joking? Every time we've had a fixture against him he's backed out. He was injured every time we played Wycombe in league 1. Man's a fuckin pussy.

How many games? In reality what the fuck is anybody going to do do to him? Not sure he'll be overly bothered about hurty words.

I remember when the Wycombe fixtures were coming up and there was a little bit of "excitement" (lack of a better term) from our fans as to giving him dogs abuse. As I said, the pussy never showed. Nor did he when he was at QPR.

Pussy.

As I said then, hurty words. He's a cunt for his career ending challenge on Whitehouse. In a nutshell that's it.

I was at the game at Port Vale. I’ve seen far worse challenges on our players, and I’ve seen our players make far worse challenges on opposition players. Sadly, this particular challenge ended tragically for Dane, similarly to, for instance, Chris Morgan’s challenge on Iain Hume. It sometimes happens in a high intensity contact sport. But I suppose that doesn’t fit with the narrative.

I agree with you (it probably belongs in the 'unpopular opinions' thread). Absolutely tragic for Dane (and SUFC) but not really worse than things our players have done over the years. I suppose what rankles is what happened afterwards, but we don't really know the whole story.

Don't think people are particularly upset by the challenge more the lack of apology

I've not seen many if any worse. It's not on YouTube that game but I recall seeing it and from memory Ainsworth boot came in knee high and took Whitehouse out, he didn't stand a chance of avoiding the collision. Santos' challenge as bad as it was, as a comparison, was lower down so you could jump out the way but not with the Ainsworth one which from the side is harder to avoid. I'm sure Ainsworth didn't mean to injure him but it was still a horrible tackle. As we can all agree on, it was the lack of apology that has been the issue.

Manager wise for Rotherham, if I was a Miller, I'd much prefer O'Neil the recently sacked stoke boss, he did brilliantly for Northern Ireland. Ainsworths' sides are awful to watch, very apt at the dark arts, long ball, ten men behind the ball, make it difficult and sneak a counter attack goal and then time waste! I get that Wycombe are a small club so he tries to narrow the gap with said tactics but I'd not want to watch that every week. Maybe if you're a wycombe fan you revel in it as underdogs, but it's the cheating and time wasting that is poor sportsmanship to the extent he does it with his team. You can tell he played for John Beck for years and then Wimbledon in his career!
 
The manager doesn’t play in the 90 mins , it’ll still be the same players they have that work very hard to get results that’s not gonna change , I think they’ll appoint some very similar anyway & they won’t fix wasnt isn’t broken with them . Still be a tight game in my view

The narrative is he stuck a nasty one on one of our players, ended his career and never apologised or acknowledged it. I suspect you don’t hear of it from our players as they’d be honourable enough to do the right thing and hold their hands up.
 
There are no easy games in this league!
It's the fifth best league in the world!
They'll be out to prove a point.

Me head is full of useless cliches today.

Indeed, anyone saying the Championship is the fifth best league in the world is clearly on spice

I don’t watch anywhere near enough foreign football to have a view on this but I’ve always thought this claim has the whiff of bullshit about it. Not least because how the fuck is this measured?

Yeh but he carries a man bag, Rosenior that is. If he’s not gozzing on the floor or scratching his tracksuited arse he’s not cut out for football management.

I think it’s based on attendances. The championship is the 5th most watched league in Europe. It doesn’t make it the fifth best. It’s probably the most competitive as a lot of the smaller top leagues have decent quality at the top but some poor teams at the bottom end, like the Eriedivisie. Even ligue un and the Bundesliga have some poor teams at the lower end. I don’t think there’s a second tier in the rest of Europe that’s anywhere near as strong. I’ve watched some Bundesliga 2 and it’s not as good as the championship.

More out of curiousness than actually answering your question, I think the various leagues used to have occasional representative matches where the best players from the second tier in England would play against the best players from the second tier in Italy, etc. I have a vague recollection of United players getting called up. Silent Blade or Revolution will know!
