Truly the worst performance by a manager I've ever seen at the professional level, we can keep pointing back and going, "but he got us promoted!", but he did far more than just that. If Billy had just resigned after Wembley maybe his memory here wouldn't be tainted. There's also no point pretending that he was a complete and total miracle manager for this level either. He's good at getting teams going, but his created McClaren level chokers at Forest, and well... clubs certainly seem to be lining up for him don't they? To be completely honest, if you offered me Billy Davies managing for £1 per year or a sack of potatoes on Clement's wage packet, I'd still take the potatoes, they'd at least not make our club a laughing stock in front of the whole world again.

Monkeytennis12345 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The fact that not even the smaller Scottish clubs are sniffing around him should tell us all that we need to know. The 'Whispering' campaign that he eludes to can hardly be a surprise to anyone who ever worked with him. In all walks of industry, if you are 'poison', then word soon spreads around and eventually, no one will touch you. The man has made himself virtually unemployable !

Mostyn6 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I love the level of exaggeration here. Billy did NO harm to Derby. Yes he was poisonous, but it was very convenient to blame him for the shortcomings of Jewell, Clough, Gadsby, Pearson and anyone else for a few years after. Sure, he blew money on Claude, but that was going rate in the Premier League and Billy had nothing to do with the amount paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I swear that the day we won at Wembley I stood next to my mate and said we should sack him now as he would be no good at the higher level . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richinspain Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Would I support Billy or Schteve if we brought them back? Of course I would. I don't want them back but I would support them as part of DCFC. I would support any manager of this club, except Tommy Docherty, he can f*** off!

Mr Tibbs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Why would you ever want to be promoted watching a Billy Davies team again? It was ******* crap. I'd take 2/3/4 years in the Champ playing some decent stuff over a promotion season under him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giles Barnes, Lupoli and even John Stead running rings around. It dipped a bit after Fagan and Teale came in, but some games were really good.

His biggest mistake in the transfer market was not signing Stead, said it at the time, said it again watching Fagan half-arse his way round the pitch, and again when performances dropped as did we out of the top 2. The period when he was in the the team we did look quite good at times and we did score some brilliant, individual goals, Barnes against Cardiff, Colchester and Sunderland, Lupoli against Colchester Jones against Wendys.

MuespachRam Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It was a great season under Billy. Some truly great days out cumulating in the best of the lot at Wembley. It wasn't all 1-0 wins you know and I tell you for sure, he wouldn't have gone to Wolves and QPR this season with this squad and come back with zero points.!

Genuinely DEL, tell me what harm, actual HARM Billy did to Derby. I won't accept signings, as he was hamstrung by lack of funds and had to buy players, his budget was about the same as what Sunderland spent on Gordon and Kenwyne Jones. He endured a change of owner. Gained promotion without an assistant. His promotion perhaps kept the club in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, the style of play whilst very effective wasn't very pretty on the eye in the main. Sure there were some cracking games but to analyse it over a full season I thought we were very workman like with the odd bit of flair thrown in from players like you mention. Bywater-Moore-Oakley-Howard was the spine and from those 4 players alone you can gather how our style of play was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
