Explains why Eric Steele was openly criticising certain decisions while chatting to some lads at St. George's Park yesterday.

According to Eric, "too much time and effort was spent on getting that spanish lad" (Raul)......."should have signed a striker in January"......."won't go up unless we get Martin and Thorne back"......."too much emphasis on defence instead of attack - stronger on paper this season but more effective last"...

 

Unusual for someone so involved to speak so openly to fans.

Smacks of Burley throwing the play-offs against Preston, But that was out of spite. This seems to be about confusion and bewilderment amongst the troops ??  Its getting to the stage that the predicted exit will be almost welcome ....    As Leeds says there will be no shortage of takers and a new direction might be welcome ?

​The striker comment does seem odd as we signed Bent January 2nd, not sure what a day early would have achieved unless Steele meant another striker in as well as Bent (too much time spent on Albentosa) which would also have been odd as we only play with one up top. With hindsight would have been handy but then you look at Buxton out for the season, not having Albentosa would have left us short at the back.

Think most would agree we probably wouldn't go up without Martin, think we could survive without Thorne if we get Eustace back tho.

Of course SM will leave at some point. But him leaving is not a good thing. No one wants him to go. Perhaps a couple of clowns you always get. But if SM had his current form at another club, especially Newcastle. Their fans would be going mental. Let's be clear, £60m is not a lot of money when you don't really know a club. You can easily spend the lot and completely waste it. SM could easily be given £30m to spend here when we go up.

A plain stupid rumour. Does no-one recall who owns Newcastle? A certain person who doesn't give a toss about them? So, all of a sudden he's about to give Mac £60m to build a team there? Utter, utter, utter, utter nonsense. As is plenty of other stuff in this thread...

As mentioned by other posters, Sam Rush is more important than McClaren.

Im not saying McClaren hasn't been brilliant, he has had a tremendous effect and I would rather he stayed  

However, it wouldn't be the end of the world as I trust Sam Rush to make correct decisions in finding a successor if needed along with making other important decisions required to achieve and sustain success for Derby County Football Club.
