And our list doesn't even include the money we threw at Camara (where is he now?), or Pearce, or the now absent Warnock. I'm sure there are others. A lot of our transfer dealing has made no sense whatsoever and it's somewhat strange that people in the club haven't realized that. For instance, we have apparently bought Blackman and Weimann with the intention of deliberately playing them out of position where they were known to be ineffective.

I get the comparisons with Leicester, you look at them 5 points clear at the top of the Premier League and where we are but you have to be fair here, look at the clubs below them, Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool. Derby are not the only club to be shown how you can buy well.

Let's throw another comparison into the mix for balance, Hull City who drew 0-0 with Sheffield Wednesday on Friday, in the top 2 where Derby want to be, using the same Transfermarkt figures....

Total £40.66m

McGregor - £1.31m
Odubajo - £3.75m
Dawson - £3.30m
Davies - £1.99m
Robertson - £2.70m
Snodgrass - £5.63m
Livermore - £5.25m
Meyler - £1.35m
Clucas - £1.35m
Diame - £3.30m
Hernandez - £9m

Subs
Elmohamady - £1.73m
Powell - Loan
Akpom - Loan

We've spent in excess of £25 mill on new player's, but have we made any value for money signings since Clough? Whoever is responsible for the batch of recent signings, and I don't believe they were all down to Clement, needs to be sacked immediately.

We use the continental head coach + technical director system. That's what Derby County employ according to MM/Rush. In a continental system where there is a technical director (or gm or chief executive), the head coach focuses on on-pitch performance and leave the rest, including recruitment and transfer, to the club. What's the benefit? Accordingly to MM/Rush, this system is better stability-wise because a manager can come and go in any minute -- but no new coach needs to bring in 30 new players.

So no, they were not down to PC, if you believe in MM/Rush.

He's already been sacked and he has taken his list of ten **** players per position with him.

Leicester were the Champs big spenders

Why do people keep forgetting that. 

And they failed to go up under Sven and Pearson for 3 seasons at least that I can remember. 

Remember Matt Mills being bought and put on massive money. 

They haven't fought the good fight at this level.
