i-Ram Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I don't think any of us should shed too many tears. He probably got paid well, and will know most tenures are short. And besides he came into Derby taking someone's place, and he will no doubt soon be replacing someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robglosta Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Can someone explain to me why they're that bothered he's leaving? I have a bigger desire for a fresh start - without the Mac baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - clement will want to breathe a new philosophy and approach - with other peopleVery difficult to know what Simo brought as a number 2 - think we just hold on to the romantic stuff that he is an ex player....

Carl Sagan Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The continuity question is interesting, but rarely happens in practice. I always loved Simmo. However, one thing in his tenure that disappointed me was that, despite his own excellence at set pieces, all through his time as coach ours were a bag of w**k. Until Tom Ince came along and showed the players how to do it. Surely that should have been a priority, probably to get young Will banging a few more goals in.I find it's very much a case of "the King is dead, long live the King". Simmo feels part of the old regime - I'm very interested and excited to see who Clement's bringing in alongside Peacock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Schteve, eric and simmo were all good people.its harsh but a combination of flirting with fat mick, excessive faith in a dodgy keeper, and touchline paralysis, proved to be their ultimate undoing.no draconian reaction eh?
