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

Let’s hope the fact we still haven’t publicised the retained list is not indicative of our summer recruitment as we seem behind everyone. 
Teams are snapping up players already crossing my fingers we are going to get things done early and get some exciting players in COYR

At least we won’t be linked with Lee Gregory all summer as he’s joined Mansfield …😬

Whatever it takes to get back to the Prem, winning a cup competition, playing in europe/europa league before i die (29). Even if it meant blatent cheating and corruption, the dirtiest team in world football / becoming the modern iteration of the 70s Leeds teams, playing hoofball. Whatever it takes.
Rooney should have walked after that 20 game winless streak, the year he replaced Cocu. Regardless of how the next season panned out, he deserves zero accolades for it - Rosenior did all the hard work. Key to the city? Don't make me laugh.

If we'd kept Rosenior we'd be looking forward to a second season in the Championship

We'd be looking at a third season in League One if Clowes didn't swap Rosenior for Warne.

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

Phil Brown was the best manager we recruited in the last 30 years and should never been sacked

Marco Gabbiadini was massively overrated, and should have been offloaded with all the other £1m+ Cox signings.

Mel had Derby's best interests at heart.
He invested a ton of money,  tried to make us big-time, bought players we previously couldn't have considered and when the managers failed to get us up....he walked away tens of millions of pounds poorer with nothing to show for it when he didn't have to.
PS We are now in a better financial place then most other Championship teams.

Injury prone and never cut it at SUFC or DCFC so no thanks 

And not great when he is fit 😉

Before the season started I would never had picked Hull for top 6 so to get 7th and just miss out is progress 
Rosenior is a good coach for reasons I’ve  mentioned before and think Rooney was lucky to have him 
Rosenior will get another chance and I for one hope he does well ….stuck by us and conducted himself very well even when we let him go …wish him all the best 

Legs gone, but heart hasn’t gone. It’s a shame he has a job as a coach already with Villa as if he is staying, I think he could be of good use to us. He’s been a consistent player all his career and won a number of promotions, he has the mentality that’s needed, it’s just the physicality is going. For what it’s worth I think he’s still been a good captain for us, he’s enjoying the good times, but was equally accountable when things weren’t so good earlier in the season.

His legs might have gone, that’s something we all saw at times this season, but in what way has his heart gone? If you know of a physical ailment that hasn’t been made public please share. If you mean his passion and commitment I think he’s shown plenty of that this season despite his ageing legs, scored key goals, made assists, accepted a reduced role at the back end of the season and still showed leadership to his colleagues from the bench and on the training ground. Baffles me the sticks people invent to beat people with. 

He’s scored 3 goals in the last 25 matches hasn’t he? His numbers look ace because he hit 9 in 9 at the start of the season. 
 
He’s league one at best. 

agree about Kyprianou but don't rate Poku, looks like Coventry have signed there best player in Mason-Clark he looks a real coup for them  , I think Edwards looks good at CB too 
If we signed Phillips, Barnsley , Brannigan , Oxford and Edwards I think it would seen as brilliant young signings but maybe just dreaming as probably out of our budget but who knows 

A few good players on view tonight between Posh and Oxford
Defo would be trying to get a couple of the players especially if don't get promoted
