RIMBAUD

He really did have something about him. Funny but I don’t wish him any ill  will. Managers come and go. I liked him. 

Would have him back in a heartbeat if Rooney was to leave.

What an entirely foreseeable situation. It seems the only person who couldn’t see it was Frank himself.
He was so naive in taking the Chelsea job. He should have stayed here and grown with the club. Getting us promoted and re-established in the PL would have reflected far better on him as a manager.
For such a seemingly intelligent bloke, the lack of common sense and long-term thinking was astounding.
He knows exactly how both Chelsea as a club and Roman as an owner operate so he should have recognised that the moment he stopped hitting club targets, he would be at risk.
If no protection, time or patience was afforded to managers like Mourinho, Ancelotti and Conte, why would Roman treat him any differently?

Somebody with a sensible view!
He’s not even started his 2year scholar yet so why shouldn’t he want to keep his options open.  The club have offered the contract for their benefit not his. Anyone whose sons have gone through the academy system know how ruthless it is, the clubs are in it as a business.  He’s a 16 year old lad, how many of that age know what their thoughts will be in 2 years time to commit to something now that they’re tied to until they`re 20. Especially at an unstable club, that could be in League 1 next season.

It has been a massive PR campaign by the club that has created the situation, they had bit of interest from a couple clubs months ago and have then set out to increase his worth by having him training with the 1st team and putting him in the squad.  The offer of a pro contract was to try to increase his value further. They have got exactly what they wanted which is to make some money out of him like they did with Delap. Not sure why you all seem to think that it is the lads with no loyalty to the club, at the end of the day Derby would sell anyone who will make them money.

You can’t  give people drive. I hope JM has it in there somewhere.

Anyone else still waiting?
Not had my refund or my child’s. 9 months is a long time. I can’t understand why there is no explanation and emails just get a standard response.
A lot of good will is getting lost. A simple email of explanation would have been nice but I guess the club can only send bulk emails trying to sell us things rather than a clarification of the current position.
I know that Forest fans are in a similar position and, nosing around the Millwall forum after kneegate, they seem to have had no refund or explanation either. 
Undoubtedly these are really hard times for football clubs but it seems that ignoring your fan base and not affording them the courtesy of an explanation is a pretty poor long term strategy and wouldn’t cost them anything.

 
 
 
 

Shabby from the club. Treating its customers with utter distain. 
But mels one of our own.  Blah blah blah.  

I know he can do no wrong to many of his disciples on here, but this whole fiasco is down to Mel Morris, nobody else.
He should have sorted this months ago.  The money owed is a lot to some people in these difficult times
Shame on you Mel!

1 goal scored in 570 minutes and counting, this will be the 11th game without a win.

I would quite like it if the above mentioned organisation didn’t like us. 
Because I hate them.

I want him to do well.  I like him and I enjoyed last season for many reasons. 
 
I think he made a mistake leaving us after one season.

Mainly because they were paid eff all and needed to work.
good point though. Today s footballers are probably alright. It’s not their fault they are paid crazy money.
