They also finished in their customary 3rd place again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Now now, put your bottom lip away, bully my arse Brett Wilson had a little pop at Clough I've just seenhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27372681 I like that. He looks genuinely passionate about derby county. He not gonna change our colours and badge any time soon. Little dig at Nigel, but whatevs. But I hope hasn't secretly been pouring money in hand over fist, I like being the poor boys that done good.

ronnieronalde Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I quite like W Brett Wilson. That is a little dig at Nigel but I think he's entitled to say what he wants as it's his money that keeps the team going. That's not some random season ticket holder, that's the guy who pays everyones wages, If you don't get on the same page with him, then you're doomed, no matter what industry you're in. Nigel should have gone out of his way to make sure he kept this guy onside. I'd be really narked if i was a major investor, bank rolling a business that was losing money and yet STILL I got "blamed" for not spending enough, It seems clear that they got pissed off at Nigel's constant use of budget for reasons of not competing at the top end of the table. It seems they didn't believe him when he told them he'd built a squad capable of competing THIS SEASON, it seems they gave up on him It looks like miscommunication, percieved dourness and maybe even a lack of bravado has cost Nigel his job. They should do well to remember though, who built the side, they still should remember the work he did in the transfer market and they should also do well to remember the state he left the squad in. His squad is about to get promoted. The value of his squad is massive, compared to when he took over. So I don't understand the little digs and I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is they are "blaming" Nigel for? For leaving behind such a good platform? Is that why they're angry?

Boycie Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 His hit rate in the transfer market wasn't that good to be fair. But the ones that have been good have finally started to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't disagree on the % of hits or misses, there were definitely some flops, I'm just thinking pound for pound. Are they worth more now than what he paid for them? that type of thinking.

mcsilks Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 His hit rate in the transfer market wasn't that good to be fair. But the ones that have been good have finally started to perform. Nonsense. Take all of Clough's transfers and he will easily come out on top. He signed some first class players and very few poor ones. Of course there are a few exceptions but generally speaking, he was very, very careful and very, very prudent. Plain and simple. We would not be where we are now if not for Clough. I guess you are simply 'fishing' as you and your little sidekick Daveo tend to do from time to time. You're like a pair of naughty school children.

McRamFan Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Personally I feel that Nigel stopped us doing a forest / leeds / portsmouth / wolves and free falling into division 1. I feel that he could have got us into the playoff final or promoted, however I think it would have taken 3 or 4 more seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'd love to see a list of his signings. But, you're right. The circumstances he was working under were quite restrictive. Having owners that have no confidence in your scouting ability can't be easy. Luckily, like you say, he did happen upon a few good ones. Just goes to show what good coaching can do. Can't wait for Wembley me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Clough's coaching got us 14th this season. McClaren's got us to 3rd. Yeah I think I know who the better coach is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
