-Signing Jamie Paterson was the beginning of the downfall
-Jamie Paterson was the worst signing Derby have every made and showed Uncle Mel didn't give a s*** anymore
-Signing Jamie Paterson was the last throw of the dice 
-The were many other options that would have worked better on the wing then Jamie Paterson-Morgan Whittaker for one
-In terms of players that can pass, shoot or run, Jamie Paterson ticked none of those boxes 
-Jamie Paterson isn't a bad human being as far as I'm aware

I don’t blame him for taking his dream job but I do blame him for not having the b******* to do it earlier when it was clear by most he was going 
we also did him a huge favour giving him a break in management then a couple of weeks before season starts and with no signings he quits…so that’s what pissed me off and left us and Cocu in the lurch and impacted greatly on our start to the season 

Dropped out of the team….following the knee injury he suffered on the pitch against Bristol Rovers on 25/11/2023 and subsequent recovery time of several weeks? Having been involved in all 17 league one matchday squads up to that point including playing 90 mins in 10 of those games? The same Korey Smith who seems to be a well liked and respected member of the squad and has from the outside seemingly always conducted himself as a top pro and played out of position for the cause? 🤔 

You could call it xG - Expected GoAhead

Steve McClaren is the most overrated manager in Derby's modern history. 
George Burley is the most underrated manager in Derby's modern history.
Nigel Clough would have got us promoted by 2016 & the manner of his sacking (night of Forest v Derby) still angers me
Sam Rush was a terrible chief exec for Derby
Philip Cocu was on the verge of cracking it at Derby before Rooney starting undermining him. He would have taken us up within 2 years.
I am extremely apprehensive about Paul Warne managing us in the Championship & dont see him lasting beyond Christmas

Not sure Bayern will let him go on a free?

OMG Can’t believe we missed out on this lump we were definitely 100% linked with this summer. 

Also Warne after 10-12 new players mostly frees and loans . But has apparently put a few bids in for contracted players one I hear is the highest we’ve spent since Jozwiak so roughly around £1m 

Wildsmith offered 2nd contract turned down.
Warne now in for Johansson 

So folks I’ve heard from my contact the following:
gone 
Wildsmith 
Waghorn
JJ
gayle 
hourihane 
smith 
forsyth - to be offered some type of coaching 
 
 
new contract offered 
Thompson 
collins 
sibley 
barks 
 
Contract offered to 3-4  out of contract players including these I’ve had confirmed 

Burrows 
Herbie Kane 
Tyrese Campbell 
 

Ed Dawes said in bbc radio derby he was talking to Dwight Gayle and as expected he doesn’t think he’ll be back at derby.

Przemysław Tadeusz Kaźmierczak is one of the biggest names ever to play for Derby. 

Jaffa cakes are neither a cake or a biscuit!! They’re a creation all of their own and deserve to have an isle in every supermarket dedicated solely to them.
Cherry Bakewell Jaffa Cakes are the greatest creation since the combustible engine.
Finally, if you squint, Susan Boyle is actually pretty f****** sexy.
Try it

Chelsea are a smaller club than Derby.  They've just had 25 years of Oligarchs money, Man City aren't any bigger than Derby, West Ham are smaller despite the delusion as are Leeds who only came to prominence in the 60's then disappeared again for 15 years, then again after that.  Sunderland are a bigger club than Newcastle whose support in the 90's when they were crap sucked.  I saw it.  I dislike Leicester fans more than Forest as they are all w******.  
The premier league was a far lower quality in 07/08  than when we were it before and it's worse now.

Another mystifying decision by a Championship owner. Accept that Hull did invest in the squad/brought in some big money loans but its hardly like they were blowing the rest of the division out of the water. Rosenior was nominated for Championship manager of the season & they finished a mere 3 points outside the playoffs - a damn sight better than the position he found them in. What makes it worse is that their owner gave Rosenior a new 3 year contract at Christmas - an expensive decision to end early & one I presume has been pre-empted by a bigger name showing interest in the job.
Derby might not be able to compete with some teams in this division financially but we do have the precious commodity of stability & common sense behind the scenes. Some of the decision making at clubs like Birmingham, Watford, Sunderland & now Hull smack of the incoherent kneejerk reactions so beloved of our previous owner & inevitably end in poorer results & decline.
I wish Liam well, a good coach & a good man. He needs to find a Championship gig at a club prepared to take a long term view. I suspect Hull will finish significantly below 7th next term.

Same mate, I got he watery eye thing watching that interview, Max is such a cool calm collected young man who has stayed grounded , his dad would be immensely proud , so sorry he’s going , he will be missed, best of luck Max

Not too manly to say I shed a tear watching Birdy's last interview as a Ram. I clearly lovely, respectful, hardworking, talented kid who we will miss. I'm sure the stats are out there but I always felt our dips in form coincided with his injuries, particularly last season.
Hope he uses his next step as a springboard on to bigger and better things (i.e. we re-sign him when we are in the prem).

Got a feeling that in the not too distant future both Knight and Bird will be plying their trade in the Premier League, obviously not with Brizzle, both are class acts, both gave their all for the Rams, wishing them all the very best for their futures , they are and will be missed here at PP
