PW with Rotherham in the SBC.
1st time, relegated playing crap football
2nd time, same again
3rd time he had put together a better side playing decent football (source Rotherham forums at the time we poached him). He had them 8th after 9 games. All the sides above then had played 10. Win that game in hand and they would have gone 5th. He came to us and Rotherham ended up 19th. Just maybe, the 1st 2 seasons were more down to RUFC's inability to attract the right players? Both the results and the style were better 3rd time around...
IMO, forget anything he did at Rotherham. Derby is a totally different kettle of fish. Let's see what he can put together over the summer.

My WHU  supporting mate would say they are a lot bigger now having a 62k seat stadium in fact bigger than most London clubs potentially in the near future. When they played at the Boleyn yes very much a similar size. 

Terrible, terrible take. He's not far off being the perfect all-round centre forward.
One of the best assisting strikers we've seen in the Prem and national team too.

This might be one of the worst takes I’ve read on this forum 

I'd just play Watkins.  Better all round player.  Kane reminds me of Van Nistlerooy.  He'll get goals but his all round play is dire and you need to facilitate him with the rest of your selection.

Not sure what you’re trying to say with the title. 
I think you’re just saying our budget has gone from the top to perhaps the middle. Whilst that’s true, I’m not sure I’d use the word “restricted” as that’s misleading. 

You have to make assumptions on recruitment to be able to set expectations in reality.
In worst assumption no doubt a relegation battle, but it is not unreasonable to expect an outside playoff interest if things go really well in recruitment. Look at when the tree humpers got promoted, they went from relegation battlers to playoff winners, to a large extent on the back off a few top quality loans and a decent manager who got the best of what he had.

We’ve got to be ambitious 
every Derby team that ever got promoted was in the past. 
it’s a good place to be a positive mind set.
With an owner that is ambitious and wants success because he’s a fan, and because he’s intimated that there is a Championship investor lined up, I think we will surprise a few.
it all depends on the quality of the signings and how they integrate and settle-in to the squad/area/expectations
im betting on Derby strengthening with top end Championship additions. 
 
I think we’ll do very well indeed, without knowing who these additions will be but since I’m expecting some high quality, I’m going for a top six finish. We’re on an upward curve, the crap is firmly pushed behind us. COYR 😃

I guess coming back from 2-0 down to Oxford and getting promoted ain't for everyone. 

They must have thought this was one of those games in hand they were so worried about.

Never did anything wrong in my opinion and not his fault our central midfield never looked right when both Bird and Connor played together on their own,Scored some very important goals and good luck for the future. 

Posted this to his IG along with the highlights clip from the club;
 

It is uncanny that. Very similar in stature and style of play too. Lets hope Liam develops into as good a player as Archie

Impossible to say this early. No retained list yet. No transfers. Bare squad. 

Can't imagine Wildsmith would head to Rotherham unless he has limited options as that would be a very odd move. 

If he’s going then personally I’m surprised. But providing we recruit well, I don’t think there’s a reason to lose sleep over him going.

So basically, he is coming as an interpreter. He could also help out if Steve Mac comes back to do any coaching .

Good if this is so. Its not a sentimental business is it. These people are paid a lot of money to do a job and being replaced comes with the territory
