MackworthRamIsGod Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I don't think Gary Rowett would have left, I think he is a gentleman within football, not sure he would be my choice for manager mind, but he is still a gentleman with honour. I think Sean Dyche is another name that potentially Mel could see getting us up and would not have left Burnley until the end of the season. So Burnley will be in the prem next season, maybe he sees Derby as having more potential, with more money to be spent if we get up. Alan Nixon said, Money talks.

I am sure someone far wiser and more knowledgeable said the same thing long before he did. Nixon has said a lot of things, throw enough mud and some will stick.

Rodgers said that he wasn't going to take another job on until the summer. Claims a few have enquired if he is interested and told them to comeback in the summer.

He's young, seems decent enough, and has a history with the club and a good understanding of it. I also found him very likable when he was on Radio Derby. I don't really like the idea of us bringing in some big name championship manager in the same way I didn't like us splashing all that money in the last 2 windows. It kinda reminds me of setting the difficulty to easy on Fifa or something. Like if Rocky took steroids in the first movie or if the karate kid just bought a gun. The results would have come faster, but the story wouldn't have been as great. Obviously I want us to win, but I'd prefer someone like Rowett to do it in 3 years than someone like Nigel Pearson to do it in 1. Life's too short. The increased disparity of three years on the new Premier League contract would be massive. It's not easy however you do it, or everyone would have done it, but I very much want promotion for our club at the earliest possible opportunity. And I don't believe Gary Rowett is the number one choice to achieve that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Mel is hoping Bournemouth come down so he can get Eddie Howe, enticing him with Derby being sustainable in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presuming Mel and you are familiar with the league table, I can only guess that's a joke? Of course there's not the slightest chance of Bournemouth being relegated. They're already safe and Eddie will be planning for next season and how to spend his Premier League millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Eddie Howe would tuck just about every box of requirements for a new manager, although he gets nose bleeds whenever he ventures further north of Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am familiar with both the league table now, and the league table at the point Clement was sacked.The latter being more relevant to this conversation.

Sorry, but if you'd written "Mel was" rather than "Mel is" it would have made a little more sense, though still been worrying if it was a genuine insight into our owner's thinking. If it's what Mel thinks now we should all give up and go home. [For anyone who wants to know Bournemouth were 5 points clear of the drop zone when Clement left and are now 12 points clear.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An opposing faction will believe the appointment inspired. Oh and there will be much speculation on how much wiggle room there is with FFP for the new season. i am surprised that there has been so little fall out from this post, RadioactiveWaste.

Rampage Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Gary Rowett has neither the experience or player attracting ability of the likes of Rogers. Rogers will go to a Premier Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our squad can match anyone in this league and going into the play-offs with an experienced motivator like Redknapp will bolster our chances.

toddy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Apart from the Wolves home game, can you name a 90 minute performance all season where we played well for the whole 90 mins? The teams in the top 6 have been poor this season, there has been no real consistency. Any team that had been consistent the last 38 - they would have run away with the the league. Somebody elsewhere in another thread said the championship league was poor this year, possibly they are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
