What the expert says...
Paul Warne relieved of his duties on Friday afternoon
Derby announced the sacking of Paul Warne in a statement on the club's website on Friday.
Owner David Clowes said: “Paul is a man of great integrity and embodies the values we hold important at Derby County. No fan should ever forget his contribution in securing promotion to the Championship. I certainly won’t.
“However, results in football dictate decisions and we felt that to give us the best chance of retaining our Championship status, the time was right to make a change.
They now will look for the right man to take over and help them stay in the Championship this season.
