Gonna be a long, cold afternoon. As bad as it was, just can’t bring myself to vilify a kid for the mistake. Can’t expect them to be consistent at this level
Not sure where to post this but here as good as any having listened to Premier League managers like Klopp, Tuchel, etc this week. But sums up so well what Wayne putting up with compared to the Championship pararchute payment yo-yo teams also. wasnt at all keen on him being manager but wouldnt choose anyone else for us now
Close to zero acceptance for any responsibility for this whole sorry mess.
He speaks about the mess the club had got in to when he first began looking for a buyer as if it was nothing to do with him whatsoever.
"...any half decent offer from another club he'd be gone, but no other club would touch him with a barge pole."
I disagree. I think he's a "completer-finisher". He sees a project at Derby, something to build-back, in the same way as Nigel Clough did. He's got a vision; sure Derby County have actually got most of the pieces in place, but are in a mess and have been on a downward trajectory since Frank Lampard was videoed singing that Clash song. Wayne is halting the slide, despite the attempts of the EFL, and the reflected schizzle of the Club sale. I see a steeliness and focus about WR that people with real internalised zeal have and they are rare in all walks of life. He's not seeking the glory of Old Trafford, or the Premiership, or the bright lights, he's purely applying himself to doing a job because he has football DNA and he has a deep-rooted belief in himself that he is testing. It's what makes some people "winners", an almost OCD focus. He doesn't need money, he could appear on TV as a Pundit, or offer his services to a Club-project like Salford (Ironically!) but Derby is his Salford and I am finding it totally absorbing to see him in operation. I really want him to succeed because I'm staring to really believe in him. Madame Football may have a different plan as she often does, but we'll see, won't we.
