David Clowes makes promise to Derby County and Liam Rosenior

David Clowes says interim manager Liam Rosenior will have his full backing, providing him with the tools to do the "best possible job" at Derby County.

Since Clowes Developments took over last month, the club has already seen major changes take place behind the scenes, including the change in management following Wayne Rooney's departure and the arrival of 11 players to bolster Rosenior's squad in League One.

Players who out of contract were also awarded fresh terms, including the likes of Craig Forsyth and Curtis Davies. The pair are set to play a crucial part this season, both on and off the pitch, with the Rams keen to push for promotion back to the Championship.

Looking back to the day when the takeover was completed, Clowes told RamsTV: "Considering the purchase of the club was only concluded four weeks ago, it's some achievement to where we are today. Liam Rosenior has stepped up to lead the team and he along with many others, has worked tirelessly to help both sign and retain players.

"We had a huge job on our hands on that first day. Importantly, we knew who our targets were and we could move quickly.

"In terms of how I view the squad, we've attracted some very good players and I'm looking forward to seeing how everything comes together. But I don't want to sit here and say 'we could do this' or 'we could do that'.

"That is down to Liam, the football staff and the players. Our objective has been to provide them with the tools to do the best possible job and we'll always try to do that but without putting the club at risk. They know and understand that."
