Cam the Ram Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 As it should be. At the end of the day, the flies will be attracted to the smelliest turd, but when that dries out they will move on. Putting that into English, the local journalists are waiting and seeing, whereas the Nationals have a deadline to meet and a few column inches to fill. If they are right, their reputation will be enhanced in the eyes of some. If they are wrong, well tomorrow they will have another guess. I tell you what though Eddie, I'm most excited to see what Nixon has to say about all this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Over the years I've learned to trust nothing said about our club until it's printed on the back of the DET, but even they've taken to writing stuff up in reaction to the national press's flights of fancy, usually with no rebuttal either way. Are any journalists truely in the know nowadays??? Except for mackworth Ram of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'm assuming that the meeting was confidential - I'm also assuming that the meeting was not bugged and that neither Steve McClaren nor Sam Rush have spoken to the press.Therefore, at this stage, everything is speculation. If people choose to believe somebody or other (i.e. the journo who says that Steve is off or the journo who says that he is not), that's like betting on red or black at the roulette wheel. It doesn't matter how many times one colour or the other has come up in the past - it bears no relationship to what might happen in the future.

Wolfie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 urmmm, i dont think he's going: Pat murphy - BBC Latest on Derby & Steve McClarenFootballPat MurphyBBC SportPosted at08:46"Steve McClaren is not on the brink of being sacked today by Derby County."He had a two-hour meeting last night with the club's chief executive Sam Rush - described as positive and open. But McClaren's rumoured departure was not discussed."I understand it was spelt out to the head coach that there will be tough discussions ahead after Derby's promotion charge faded away - but a parting of the ways or any compensation was not on the agenda."Rush and McClaren have an excellent working relationship and the head coach still has two years left on his contract." Thanks for that. I was late for a meeting and didn't have time to post the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 DERBY LINE UP CLEMENTDerby will offer Paul Clement a staggering £2million-a-year to quit Real Madrid and replace Steve McClaren, writes The Sun.From Sky's Transfer Centre thing.

Wolfie Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 or sign up for 4 years with 100% loyalty with non of the crap we had earlier this year Nice idea but would equate to Steve agreeing to sign up for 4 years as a slave. You have a contract so you're loyal up to the point that someone else comes along with a better contract (and compensation to buy you out of your current one). It's just how it works - quite rightly.

Curtains Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 By Rob DorsettLast Updated: 22/05/15 10:59am Steve McClaren: His reign at Derby could be close to an endSteve McClaren is set to leave his post as Derby manager later on Friday, Sky sources understand.McClaren and his agent met with the club's chief executive Sam Rush and director Mel Morris on Thursday night, but no agreement was reached.LEAGUE TWO - 23rd MaySouthendvWycombeSouthend7/5Wycombe9/5Draw23/10CORRECT SCORE - 23rd MaySouthendvWycombe1-06/10-113/22-117/21-29/12-010/10-212/1Derby are unhappy with McClaren's refusal to publicly rule himself out of taking over at Newcastle after the Premier League club made an approach for him in January and again last month.It is understood Morris, a Derby businessman, will soon hold a majority share in the Rams and become club chairman.Morris blames McClaren and the Newcastle speculation for Derby's poor finish to the season, which saw them go from top of the Sky Bet Championship in March, to missing out on the play-offs altogether when they were beaten 3-0 at home by Reading on the final day of the season.Further discussions between Derby and McClaren's representatives will take place on Friday, to try to agree a departure deal. McClaren still has two years left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouRams Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 So your saying we should all book hotels for Sunday night and get tickets for the play off final Monday, as Derby will be there?But on a serious note, looking from another view point nothing is set in stone he is leaving and these discussions aren't a contract extension (highly unlikely). What I am getting at is Pearson didn't let the pantomime surrounding him have any effect when he took charge for the remaining games. IF McLaren stays I still think he will do the job next season.
