Yep, no experience whatsoever. Playing and managing are two completely different skill sets ?

Perhaps you should go into managment, you seem very experianced.

No, I wanted people to put the embrago and deduction to one side and judge his performance on the current set of players. 

What makes you think any other manager could get more out of these players, he seems to connect well with the young players, the older ones as well.

How many other championship managers get a proverbial “free hit”?

If this were the case it would reek of special treatment due to his name, which would be wrong. Regardless of mitigating circumstances.  

 

How many other clubs are in administration.

In the whole scheme of things we have much bigger things to worry about than who our Manager is, like survival as a football club. Need to get the new owners in and then take it from there ?

Agree,??

You need to go back when he was appointed. We could have had Wassall/Steve Mac or gone for a younger Manager dong well in the lower leagues, an Ian Evatt or Ryan Lowe….someone who had at least some experience……rather than a novice with no managerial experience, coaching experience or coaching badges. It was a vanity project from Mel to get his face in the newspapers and had nothing to do with his credentials or ability to do the job. All of those I mention would have done as well if not better than Wazza, a 24% win rate isn’t great is it……but we will never know will we…..

Ok,younger manager yes, maclaren no,but as you say we will never know, but as i saidnot everyone will be happy whatever happens,we all have our own opinions which dos'nt mean we are right or wrong.

Nobody could do any better….in your opinion eh???????

Tell us who is better then, and would want to come in the position our club is in. You can please some of the people all the time.you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time. Very apt at the moment, and agood saying for football in general.

RIP

Agree but what other options would be open to him with his current record if he did walk? 

He could be a pundit like most players do,dos'nt really need the money, but can't see him happy with that sort of life.

I can imagine there would be a long list of inexperienced managers in their 30s with no previous managerial job on their CV and no badges/qualifications to boot earning £50k+ a week who would stick around, especially if they were unsackable.

We are not in a position to fire or hire anyone at the moment whatever their credentials, so i for one am happy he has stuck with us.

Where would he go? I think he is still pinching himself that e finds himself managing a team like Derby with no previous management experience, coaching experience or badges…..

Dos'nt need to go anywhere, got enough money to live for the rest of his life without lifting a finger. So he deserves some credit for not walking.

Well I would save a lot of money on going to matches, alcohol, food and TV packages and I also wouldn’t be freezing cold or wet for three months of a year. 
I wouldn’t bother watching any other football as it would have no meaning to me 

Agree, watching teams you hate lose, and games that can make a differance to our league position, but if we have'nt got a team whats the point.

Me personally I’ve done with football and will spend more time and money with the family.

Couldn't and won’t support another team.

ive even followed England away but that’s not the same.

 

 

After watching the rams since 1968, could never support another team. Think that will be me done with football.?

5-0 against Spurs 41,826

Nearly right?

Same - couldnt see either when I first went standing with the fences but loved every second. My first season there was when we went down to the third tier last time. Looking at these pictures does bring back that feeling of walking to the ground - cant remember it properly but the BBG was  like that opening line of Bagpuss - saggy old cloth cat worn at the edges but Emily loved him

Another favourite memory,beating spurs 4 0 i think it was, and seeing a player like greavsie playing there. Record attendance 40,000 plus. Think george best was the best player i saw there, but there again i could have been dazzled by his looks.??

Thats brill,your right it was one of the nights at BBG.

Forgot the best?

Brilliant ! This is the ball from that actual game, the night that the Clough & Taylor train changed up a gear ! One of the greatest nights and atmospheres at the BBG !

Thats brill,your right it was one of the nights at BBG.

First match... January 96. Top of the league v Reading. Won 3-0 Derby fans singing ‘we are top of the league.’ The worst thing was the view- I was too small. Could barely see. Loved the experience. The smells, the match day programme, the walk to the ground, the noise. Brilliant. 

My first match cup match against chelsea 1968,night match with all smell and smoke from leighs foundry. Atmosphere was electric, hooked from that night.

Probably because is Appleby and Rush get in I wouldn't be suprised to see Mac back in as manager.

We need to go forwards not backwards

Right, you've got your point over. You can move on now. We ARE Derby fans and we DO want the club to survive, so please spare us your repeated "matter-of-factness" about how we should pay our HMRC tax bill in full.

That's all.

Arn't theHMRC partly to blame for letting the club get into that much debt in the first place.

But isn't he in with Sam Rush? If you don't like the Rooney/Kirchner relationship then surely the Rush/Wasserman relationship should be just as worrying. In fact, it's partially to blame for putting us in this mess in the first place.

 

Could'nt agree more, we need to go forwards not backwards.

Do we know that for sure? This guy is blowing a lot of smoke and that may be a tactic to distract!

At the end of the day whoever comes in will not suit everybody. We have just got to hope who does has got the best interests of the club at heart.

I like the sound of Kerchner. He’s young and going places. He would be doing this on his own. For me that’s much preferable to an Appleby led consortium

I think so too.

I don't mind Appleby or Glick but Sam Rush and his Wasserman business can stay well away thank you. 

Its rush i don't want anywhere near also.

30 minutes ago, PistoldPete said:

Didn’t get promoted. Didn’t make a profit. Sold the club. Only difference between them and Morris who also hired McClaren is he didn’t sell the club. Was trying to sell it but bad timing doing that in 2019/20..

Agree with you there, we need fresh blood in the club.

Appleby/rush/moxey blandly led the club before.

They were able to show a total lack of ambition for the club.

There footballing links did not work out fantastically before, Derby were not known as the invincibles (reference one of Arsenal's former great teams) under their tenure.

Do you think we need a complete break from people who have been connected to the club before.
