Derby County to target Paul Clement should Steve McClaren leave this summer

[RLACML]

​so was Wenger.............

And Mourinho.​

[TomBustler1884]

Would offer nothing more than what McClaren has.

We've already got settled links in Spain and the rest of Europe.

This one is simply just for the big team fans boys.

If you mean a world class coach widely referred to as one of the best people to be managed by by players who've worked under him then you're right.

[Boycie]

We don't care if he can manage, we don't need a manager, we need a head coach.

thats all MacToonytuft is.

[Uptherams]

I am bored of all this now. The club and SM should come out now and say whether or not he is going to be here next season. At which point he either stays through the remaining games including play offs, or leaves and Simpson is put in temporary charge. Will this jeopardize our chances. Absolutely not. We can only improve from here. 

[Idiakez]

I love how as soon as anybody, whether it be a player or manager is linked with Derby everybody is suddenly an expert on them. In all fairness it's more on Twitter than on here, though.

Didn't Johnny Metgod coach in a world cup final?

[-JW-]

Didn't Johnny Metgod coach in a world cup final?

Yep. He brought Valentin Gjokaj on with 10 minutes remaining.

[Kernow]

Clement would be one of my preferred choices should Mac leave

[robglosta]

I don't dislike this, but I'd rather keep Stevie Mac 

[JoetheRam]

I've never heard of him. Can't be that good.

[eddie]

Real who?

[Nuwtfly]

Didn't Johnny Metgod coach in a world cup final?

​and played for Real Madrid....

 

....REAL MADRID....

 

 

................RE-YAL MADRID............

 

Ah Sav...

[ossieram]

This can't be true! Stimac still has unfinished business.

[Abu Derby]

I reckon it'll be either Dyche - who did well at Watford, Bruce or Allardyce. 

[Shuff264]

Would be a risk, some coaches cant step out from the shadows but some do it fantastically well

His playing career is meaningless, alot of the best managers seem to have meh playing careers*

 

*I am basing this purely from vague memory and have not fact checked it in any way

​He basically has no playing career - he got into coaching at 23 (thanks, Wiki)

[RamFan13]

What about that Billy Davies bloke.

[TroyDyer]

Jose and Wenger didn't play and Ferguson was hardly a rival to Pele. 

If he will come here and do a brilliant job, then that would be great. If not, I'm not that bothered. ;-)

[twinkletoes]

if macca goes get pearce in....

[jagerbob]

Im really sick of these articiles about ifs and buts.

Why are we, as fans making this news by even discussing it.

Heres a new headline for us to discuss

Derby County to get promotion should they pull their finger out and start defending as a team

or

Derby County are premiership bound should they have one good season at any given point in the next 10 years!
