    cannable got a reaction from Premier ram in If Quantuma hadn't accepted the extra 9 points....   
    I can’t be bothered to look for a source, but from memory, didn’t they say something along the lines of ‘we’re accepting it rather than fighting it because we believe it’ll streamline a takeover’?

    He only signed for us over Liverpool because we promised to sell him to a London club if they came in for him.

    The trains were a shambles yesterday, I think I spent 11 hours travelling.
    I think it’s the only time the football’s actually been worth it. Incredible atmosphere, best I’ve ever known.

    He didn’t lose the dressing room though. 
    Teams had worked us out. The Preston 0-0 is indicative of both points. We needed more energy in midfield so he effectively played Jeff up front. He tried to execute the managers plans but it went as well as expected.
    Teams had worked out that if you press everybody except Warnock and Shackell then they would just pass it between each other because the former’s legs had gone and the latter was poor on the ball.
    This is the season fans turned on Martin as well because of his scoreless run but if you actually watch his goals from that season, they were mostly screamers or self-created. We weren’t really creating much.

    To me, a huge number of Morris's decisions seemed to be the kind of reactionary nonsense you hear shouted from the stands, or on a post-match phone-in on Radio Derby.  I'm talking about things like players just needing a kick up the backside (so get Pearson in), we never should have sold Shackell (so let's get him back), Chris Martin doesn't run around enough (so let's get rid of him), that kind of idiot-level analysis. 
    The first McClaren sacking felt like the sort of "he won't commit his entire future to Derby, so let's sack him now" stuff that was being heard from those corners.  The second one always felt like someone (probably Sam Rush) talked Morris into appointing McClaren again, Morris was never happy about it (for the same reasons as sacking number 1, probably), and as soon as we had a slight dip in form he got rid so he could have who he had wanted as manager in the first place.

    Colin Gibson shouldn’t have mentioned anything to do with Pearson’s appointment because it’s slightly detracted from his broader point.
    In one season we had a counter-attacking 4-4-2 manager whose main attribute was building teams, a front foot 4-3-3 manager whose main attribute was coaching and a defensive 4-2-3-1 manager whose main attribute was organising teams - ALL given complete freedom to do as they wished with the squad.
