Asanovic Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I think you misunderstood me. The chances of me winning the lottery are better :-) Brightened up my day, that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Probably worth mentioning - that George Burley also lost more games than he had won as Derby manager but anyway, regardless.... back to subject - Conor Sammons first touch.. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure the same person raves about how we played under Burley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Where is this vote thing then? I've been looking for the last 2 days (constantly... haven't slept or eaten) and can't find it anywhere... Pretty much sums up the organisational abilities of the Football League that they can't even organise basic polls on time... THIS is why the football league doesn't get any TV money from the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramexpat Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Brian Clough 84% Jim Smith 9% Arthur Cox 1% Dave Mackay 6% So far ,, this has to be the most pointless survey ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 surprised Mr Cox only has 1% of the vote. clearly an underappreciated manager! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 surprised Mr Cox only has 1% of the vote. clearly an underappreciated manager! Not really. Anyone who rates Arthur as a better manager than Brian, two promotions or not, is certifiably insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Very harsh on Mackay that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Very harsh on Mackay that score. Not many remember the situation that Dave inherited. He did a great job, improved Brian's team and went on to win the title and was very unlucky not to win a lot more. I've met Dave Mackay and can honestly say i was humbled in his presence. He stands about 5'9" tall yet you walk away thinking you've just met a giant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maydrakin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, I voted Jim Smith due to fat finger syndrome on my iPhone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 But surely better than Mr Smith? The question was 'who was the best', not 'grade our managers relative to each other' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stands about 5'9" tall yet you walk away thinking you've just met a giant. I completely and utterly agree. When Dave was appointed, it was the one time that the board, rightly or wrongly, made an utterly brilliant decision. They (Sam) realised that they had a full-blown rebellion on their hands. Fans and players alike wanted Brian back, and they (Sam) took a decision which stopped us in our tracks. The players respected Dave, the fans loved him, and the decision was (grudgingly) accepted. We all thought that Brian would be back in charge one day, and of course it so nearly happened too, but that's ancient history. Dave as a person was, and still is, an absolute giant - and I feel that the Plaza would benefit from a statue of the great man (preferably in Bremner-raising pose, but unfortunately that was when he was at Spurs in 1966) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
