    GenBr got a reaction from ck- in Rooney to Consider Quitting   
    I've never lost a game of championship football. I am undefeated in my managerial career.

    Most rookie managers fail. Failure next season could see us drop into League 2. IMO, it is not a time for an inexperienced manager.
    That said, I think Curtis is a real credit to the club and my gut feeling is that he'll make a very good manager.
    I still think a rookie is a terrible idea, but if that's where we go, Curtis would be the best option...and instantly have a huge amount of support and good will.

    Qualifications?
    Personally, I've led Derby to back-to-back PL titles on FM21.  I'll do it for £80k so long as they put sausages beack on the club menu.

    Why is that relevant?
    We all know a lot of fans are incredibly fickle & tend to change their opinions after a run of 4/5 games either positive or negative. And anyone who seriously thought Benitez would look twice at us needs to adjust their perspective drastically.
    The key criteria is getting the right man for the job based on prior experience & then sticking with him. Ian Evatt has a) a successful track record at two clubs & b) has demonstrated he can deliver teams that play good football. Look at the managers at successful clubs in this division - Daniel Farke, Valerian Ismael, Thomas Frank, Steve Cooper - who had heard of any of these before they started at their respective clubs?
    As to your last sentence, Rooney is 11 games off a complete season with us - more time than Phil Brown got, more time than Nigel Pearson got, more time than Steve McClaren second time round got, more time than Paul Clement got. Whilst I totally accept there are some mitigating circumstances as to why Rooney has done so badly, the idea that we're not allowed to call for his removal because everything wasn't set up perfectly for him makes no sense. Phil Brown had a similarly grim time here off-field with players sold over his head, a thin squad & unlike Rooney, with a genuinely awful Board/owners - no-one bemoaned Brown's departure or thought he had more to give though. Why does Rooney get special treatment?

    I thought member clubs were prohibited from suing each other, and agree to submitting to the EFL disciplinary process as final arbiter. Otherwise it’d be chaos.

    If he goes there can only be one candidate. Who is available and could thrive with everyone hating us and work to develop the siege mantality we would need?

    This ongoing saga is going to drag on well into next year as has already been reported.  
    If we have the next two seasons in the Championship I will happily walk through Derby City centre wearing an expensive watch and smart clothes.

    We need to look at the positives if he does go. The first weekly wage we'll save, will near pay off the EFL fine.

    I despise the EFL and think they should be abolished as soon as possible, but Mel and Pearce don't get out of this scot free. The club has been very poorly run in the last few years and that is ultimately down to Mel.

    Saying you can't blame Morris and his minion because they care is laughable.
    It would be like me offering to do a heart transplant, rather than a heart surgeon, because I care more for the patient.

    Noticed some people having a go .
    We are Derby fans and we should stick together and back the Club 
    Its easy to be derogatory about the owners in this situation but the real enemy is the EFL 
    They are an absolute joke of an institution and don’t get me started on Steve Gibson and Wycombe Wanderers

    Clearly the efl are going to try and relegate us through the re submission of our accounts which, are no doubt,already calculated.
    I can't see how we won't be in breach or we wouldnt have tried it on in the first place and submitted them in a different manner to every other team in the country.
    I'm starting to think that league 1 in six weeks is inevitable and that a total reset and a fresh start is perhaps what's required,if nothing else but to get the efl permanently off our backs.
    I just want to watch Derby play football,I'm sick of this.

    Do we have to play a game in the Championship and a game in League 1 on the same day .
    Could be 2 away trips on the same day for us an Wycombe.
    Should be fun lol ?
