Dazza B Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Sorry if already been posted, but the players seem happy with the imminent appointment http://www.skysports.com/share/10614465 Derby striker Darren Bent told Sky Sports News HQ that the return of McClaren would be welcomed by the players - but a big surprise. "The players will be a bit baffled....because we didn't see that coming," he said. "From what we heard when he left it was left on quite bad terms but he was a fantastic manager. "Anyone who watched us in that period would say we played some of the best football we had played in a long, long time so from a footballing point of view it would make sense. "But at the same time Chris Powell has been doing a fantastic job as well and if McClaren gets the job we'd like to hope that Chris stays and helps him out as well. If he doesn't and Chris gets it then we will be equally as happy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie G Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Many said that the rumours of Mac being linked with the Newcastle job last time was the reason of us missing out on the play offs. However, I'm sure Chris Martin got injured and people were not happy with no 'plan B'. Well the playing staff has changed slightly but there is no Martin so will Mac now have a 'Plan B' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TETRA Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I just can't believe what I'm hearing over the last few hours, Mac's coming back ?. I thought our Chairman was prone to making bad decision making but this really does take the biscuit. It can only all end in tears sadly & not tears of joy either.

King Kevin Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Going to throw a few hypothetical things into the hat here both positive and negative If the players have had an input in this or any appointment along the lines who do you want to play for :-disaster long term. Steve as coach with a better recruitment team around him :- ok ish happy days Steve as manager with CP as coach /assistant :- have misgivings about this one CP as manager with SM as coach :- happy with SM as coach but not CP as the No1 SM as coach with a new DOF [experienced ] best option with new recruitment team . Not sure if ego's or the past will allow some options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wixman1884 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm ready for goals again. Even at our worst under McClaren we were scoring a boatload under him. Bent and Ince had absurd records during their loan spells under him. I can imagine Blackman and Johnson finding their feet under him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 20 minutes ago, europia said: I read that McClaren has started a university course. I guess he will be saying to his course tutor " I've had no contact from Derby County, just rumours and speculation...oh by the way, hypothetically would I get my fees back if I jack in the course....and maybe even a bit of compensation ? " He's probably asking for a gap year Actually I guess he will carry on with it as it's a 2 year part time course at Manchester Metropolitan University. Masters degree in Sporting Directorship. So what will he do once he's better qualified than Mel and Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
