Curtis Davies elaborates on a significant factor contributing to Derby County’s promotion under Paul Warne.
Derby County sealed their return to the Championship with a 2-0 victory over Carlisle United on Saturday, marking the end of a prolonged period of disappointment. Despite previous promotion success in 2007, the club had endured several near-misses in subsequent years, finally overcoming their obstacles last weekend.
David Clowes, credited with rescuing the club from financial ruin, expressed his joy in witnessing moments like this, emphasizing his commitment to Derby’s revival. His decision to appoint Paul Warne in September 2022 proved pivotal, as the former Rotherham United manager brought with him a track record of three promotions.
Although Derby narrowly missed out on the playoffs in Warne’s debut season, strategic moves in the transfer market bolstered the squad, leading to automatic promotion in his second campaign at the helm.
Despite experiencing relegation with Cheltenham, Curtis Davies, a revered figure at Derby, maintains a strong interest in the club’s fortunes.
