Rams1884 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Nothing more than PR spin from the club and yes man Wassal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can't read the full article. Bleh. Hope it's true. MM may have a right to do it, but you can't say it helped. Hardly inspired a winning streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People talk as if being a 'no' man is something we'd want. No thanks. Give me a club ALL pulling in the same direction any day. Wassall is a yes man, with his own ideas on how to bring success.

I suspect that the other post was intended as a tad derogatory towards Wassall. I have appreciated the reports back and probably the only time I have ever read a whole topic. Clearly we want full agreement on the way forward between the Chairman and his plan and the head coach (whoever that may end up being), or we are going to get nowhere fast. Nothing wrong with a bit of PR now and again, just a way of the Chairman reaffirming his intention to not enter the dressing room unless there is cause for him to be carrying a case of Champagne.

RoyMac5 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Thing is with an owner who thinks it was the right thing to do for the Club I can't see anything stopping him doing it again if he feels it's necessary. Not until he comes out and says it was the wrong thing to do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite BC's reputation, I think he would have really bought into the whole academy thing at Derby. He was not against promoting players from below (the Stiffs and A team in those days), or buying a cheap player with potential from the lower leagues. Having said that, yes I agree that the Chairman would probably not have stepped on his toes in the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have know what to do because that's what he was at the end of the day a very good man manager Wassall played under him so he has that in his favor. Must of learnt something from the big man. " Wouldn't say I was the best manager but I was in the top 1 " "only Joking " was my favorite saying of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I wonder if Brian Clough would've made it out of the lower leagues in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would of made it in any day and age. When you scout Roy Mac and get him out of bed to sign him from Tranmere Rovers under everyone else's noses you could do anything. Liverpool wanted Roy Mac at the time Dave Mackay was another gem after 2 broken legs at Spurs he persuaded to come to Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The equivalent of Roy is already poached and warming the bench somewhere not getting a game. Clough would be about as close to unemployable as you get right now. Maybe a bit like Billy.

toddy Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just a little bit of PR to try and win fans over, nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Whole topic is a red herring. Who gives a toss whether he's in or out the dressing room. The manager needs to trim the first team squad pick the best one with the most effective formation and put on some quality football. Mel can come and go as he sees fit, as far as I'm concerned. The enemy is not the owner it's complacency and lack of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
