My favourite ones his next one in the first game of the season 👀👀

What's that? Another opportunity to dig this gem out, you say?

Well he’s not a remainer, clearly 

Community Pink.

Generalisation about footballers as a whole, chill

I don't get this whole saying goodbye thing. We're not bothered. He's not bothered. What's the point? 
A Fozzy who's been here a decade yeah fair enough, a Knight or Bird who's come through the academy, OK, I get that... 
But some fella who barely played for us and jumped in our hour of need, nah, not necessary 

Man Utd and the dutchman from Barca?

Just a quick thought, warne has 3 promotions from this division and not one of them did he have didzy in his team so I’m guessing he is capable of building a promotion side without him , as I’ve said before it’s not just goals scored it’s goals scored v goals let in balance 🤷🏻‍♂️

The thing that i take away from all this is very something good and encouraging
He was always going to leave 
We / david clowes and co had budgeted his wages into the seasons budget.
Just re iterates to me what a careful and responsible owner we now have. 
just fills me with confidence that we are in good safe hands and will never have the drama of the previous couple of years under mel.
hopefully a happier future lies ahead 
although i still think we need to exercise patience this season if it doesnt go as many expect 
but thats just me

One last ‘48hrs’ from the final relic of Mel’s Derby.

I wish there was a thread on here stating the facts about McClaren leaving Derby that first time. And the second time to give Rowett time to get to know the squad was an equally daft decision by Morris. 
 
Here's Paul Simpson, assistant manager at the time:
“There’s an opportunity and we could go to Newcastle” but I told him I didn’t want to go. He asked for my opinion and I said, “You have to turn it down. This is where we need to stay.” He thought about it for a while and said, “I’m going to turn it down, as long as we’re able to commit ourselves for the next three years to finish this job.” I was willing to sign another contact.
‘I know for a fact that Steve turned Newcastle down. I said to Steve, “Look, I’m absolutely knackered. I want to go away with my wife for a couple of days, can I do it?” and he said, “Yeah, go and have some days in Spain.” So, he rang me on the Wednesday night and asked me when I was coming back, which was the next day. “Right, I think I’m getting the sack. I need you to come back.” He turned Newcastle down and then he got the sack.
‘We were left in a situation with nothing. Even when it got to the point that I was still employed, he said to me that Newcastle had come in for him again. When he got the job, he wanted me to come as his assistant and I said, “No. I’m not coming.” I told him I would only go if I got the sack at Derby. I wasn’t leaving Derby.’
Simpson wasn’t made to wait long before returning McClaren’s call.

Not his fault what we paid in transfer fee 
Not his fault what we paid him in wages 
Not his fault how long his contract was 
Not his fault that he had two serious injuries with us
I still think this was one of the most stupid transfers we made in recent history based on exactly where we were in relation to our finances and the club knew it, as a player un injured he may well have done very well for us but we simply didn’t need him or that level of expense when we had plenty of other areas where the team needed reinforcements.
Good luck to him and I hope he stays injury free because now Birmingham city is his level 

Perhaps less cynical but more naively, I am a little more generous to Bielik:
How on earth you can potentially hold him responsible for the transfer fee we paid is a mystery.
Yes, he was injured a lot but, I don’t think you can blame him for that. I don’t think he got injured deliberately.
From what I can see, whilst he has said he wants to play at a higher level than league 1 (which player wouldn’t?) I don’t think he has ever said he doesn’t wants to play for Derby. 
None of us know the facts but my gut feeling is that, whilst he/his agent may have had a part in the loan to Birmingham I also think it suited Derby (to help cover his wages and keep him in the shop window to hopefully increase his potential sale value) and the club may well have been the driving force behind the deal. Similarly, he may not be making any noises about a desire to return to Derby (sensibly given it looks very likely he will remain at Birmingham) but what have the club indicated to him? It could well be that directly or indirectly Derby have said something like we can’t afford your wages and therefore need to move you on (they may of course have sold it a bit better by agreeing with him that it would be better for his career for him to play at a higher level).
 
 
 

You know what's gonna happen now right? 
He'll stay injury free for a season and a half, boss the championship and get a 20 million move to some lower end prem team. 
It's the 'Derby Mel Morris Way'

I understand your sadness, Bielik didn't go out to get injured on purpose, He signed a contract, His International manager told him to get a move as League1 wasn't going to get him a place in the International team for the world cup, Agent and Bielik got a loan move to Birmingham, Allegedly he was voted the worst player at the world cup.
PW is on record not wanting players who do not want to be here, I do not know how he performed at Birmingham, I do know when I saw him play for us he was some player, But 2 ACL injuries took that edge off him, He'd lost some of that "je ne sais quoi" 
Now moving to his adopted club, A 100% Bielik would have had a good few suiters...but non came along, This shows me he's not what he once was...I wish him well and thank him for 1 special goal...against Birmingham.
