An away win!

1 minute left surely we ok now.

He's failed at pretty much every club he's ever been at and his attitude has been widely regarded as atrocious. He's basically stolen a living in a profession based upon a promise that has never materialised. I'd rather stick one of the kids on than give this time waster a shirt. 

Starting line up next season:
GK: Clough & Taylor Statue
 
RB: Rammie
CB: Private Derby
CB: Derek from Chad
LB: Walking Backwards Man
 
RM: The King of Rome
CM: Robert Lindsay
CM: Robert Maxwell's Re-animated Corpse
LM: Owen Bradley
 
CF: The Steve Bloomer Bust
CF: Kenco Coffee Cup
 
I bet we'd still do better than last season.

“The Club is disappointed that the EFL has not, as is usual, waited until after the publication of the Disciplinary Commission’s reasons nor agreed a statement with the Club and in addition has chosen to be selective about the Decision and present it in a form which omit key dates and details, which the Club has provided by way of clarity above.”
This and the timing of their statement shows how truly vindictive the EFL are. Shocking.

31 years a rams fan and he was the first name I thought of. Absolute legend. 

We have to re-sign Nick Blackman.
 

Equal if not better? Your mad. 

Thank you Marlon we couldn’t have done it without you.

I'm voting Marlon Pack

None of the players out there today deserve to be considered for player of the year - vote for Bielik (who prevented us being relegated months ago so) and send a message to these spineless muppets…. 

Equal if not better? Your mad. 

Rooney had it tougher by a long way, than Nigel inherited. Yet Nigel credited with “saving” Derby from relegation when they were never in danger! 
 
There are some curious folk suggesting bringing Nigel Clough back to replace Rooney! 
 
Rooney HAS actually saved Derby from relegation. 
 
He deserves more respect than he’s getting and certainly should be judged at least equally, if not better than Nigel Clough. 

Yesss yessss yessss
We are staying up

kind of want a group hug with everyone on this forum now.

Still haven't changed my mind - Rooney has to go

…….. oh my 

COYR

Rooney laughing and joking with Weds staff ....please duck off out of our club 

It’s my birthday today. 

What a mess we have got into. Why were we ever happy to have-
A) an unqualified manager with barely a year of coaching experience
B) A manager who as a player here didn't set the professional standards on the pitch for effort or keeping himself in shape
C) A player who brought with him rumours early on this season that he was looking for coaches for this job, that wasn't even available.
D) A player/manager funded through our sponsor using some elite deal.
We just couldn't resist the lure of the high profile, global superstar. We didn't care the tank was empty, he was going to make us rich.
I can't help but feel totally disillusioned with the club. In my opinion Cocu was an inspired choice but we saddled him with a player bigger than the club, a player with aspirations as a manager. A player who totally undermined his boss. 
Now Cocu may still have failed but we allowed ourselves to get into a position where we had to sack the manager  because of a so called superstar player. I wish we had chosen to sack Rooney not Cocu. If Cocu went, they all had to go. It stank early on and it stinks ever stronger.
Rooney may turn out to be a good manager elsewhere but this was never on. How can he demand desire and energy from the players with shoddy example he set here? 
 
 
 
 
 

And Lubos Kubik and Ivo Knoflicek
And Iain Storey Moore
Yup - we've been here before....

Think there’s been a global pandemic in the meantime that has drastically affected revenue streams everywhere, which potentially affects our ability to give out new contracts. 
We might have been able to afford Martins contract but we might not have been willing to give him a THREE YEAR DEAL given that in a years time we might have a new manager that doesn’t rate him, although fingers crossed that wouldn’t be the case. 
It might be that if Mel had foreseen this pandemic he mightn’t have committed to Rooney but ultimately no one knows the answer to that and no one saw this coming.
If only it was as simple as ripping contracts up. Unfortunately it quite clearly isn’t that easy. It might well be that the sponsorship income Rooney brings in is absolutely key currently, and Rooney is more important to the team than Martin is, in my opinion. 
I don’t understand why people can’t grasp that he wasn’t let go. He was offered a contract the club felt was fair. For far too long we have been held to ransom by players so I don’t understand why it is such a bad thing that we aren’t willing to bend over backwards anymore.
He has been and is a good player but goodness me, he is not Derby County Football Club.
