Signed on loan initially after Clough left. Then made permanent after he was released by Leicester at the end of the 13/14 season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trust between players, staff, management and leadership was smashed, it's going to take something really special to build those bridges. Ronnie, if he gets us winning games again - all will be forgiven by everyone . We're football fans - fickle AF. It's not like real life is it? Although it's an emotional thing football - there's not much anyone wouldn't do for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Excited about Derby again. Who knows how this is going to go, but if he can get us playing even close to what he did before, I'll be very happy. Just a shame Martin is away for a little while longer.

Stripperg-ram Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The return of the Mac might be the best or the worst thing to happen to Derby County Football club.....or maybe just something in between. You may think it's a stroke of genius, a rose tinted nostalgia trip, or a compromise to our club integrity. When we appointed Pearson, I wasn't extatic about it, but I realised why we employed him and how he might be the solution. I wasn't sorry to see him go, but maybe he could've been given more time. I'm now happy to see Mac back. And I think Powell as assistant is a great move. I'm sure some of you agree, and some of you not so much. But whatever side of the fence you're on, we've got to give this one some time. We've got to be positive. If he doesn't have the impact he had instantly, like last time, it's doesn't mean it's doomed to fail. But, if we win the first 3 games at a canter, It doesn't mean we're destined to go up. Lets pull together as a club And hope for the best, without punishing Mel, the players, or Steve if it doesnt instantly go our way. Up the Rams!!

B4ev6is Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hey steve maclean if your reading this i am glad you are back again. But you have left a lot of derby fans angry at you but now you have a lot of making up to do. But a good start would be by giving leeds a good thrashing.

Milbs Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I manager with a 55% win ration, won over half his games and +69 GD in his time. Sound. Return of the Mac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let it lie mate. in MY opinion re-hiring him is a mistake. Simple as that. If he gets the club back on its feet playing wise then I've got it wrong. As I got it wrong on Pearson, I thought he was the right man. I just think it's a disaster waiting to happen, the first disagreement with MM and SM will be a big test, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maydrakin Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Exactly this. And let's drop this "the Derby way" stick to beat the club with. It's old and it's tiresome. I'm hopeful we get some decent football and will be starting with a clean slate. I can actually look forward to going and taking my 6 year old lad on Saturday for a change.

It's all scales innit... For me Dawkins, Christie, Thorne, Warnock and Ince were good signings that either improved the side or gave us solid cover where needed... Whitbread may not have been a Smacca signing Shotton and Albentosa for me weren't great however I can understand the signings and I still think the Albentosa one was just a speculative hope... We blew it all out of proportion at our end... He cost less than Shotton! Bent... well... He splits opinion between "bad" and "hasn't really had much chance"... I choose the latter...
