He managed on peanuts and got us comfortably mid-table or above. We probably won't manage that this season despite the millions spent. Had Clough been given that money, there is every chance he would have got us up by now. But you can't relive the past, so CP would be my choice now. I agree with the bit about him doing well on peanuts. However when the board decided to give Clough some money, He went out and spent £1.2m (At that point, this was alot of money) on the infamous Connor Sammon. If we had given him £25m+ I dread to think what he would have bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure hoofball, to put him forward shows a lack of understanding of the game. You think our players who demand we only play one formation would go along with long punts in to channels? Dream on. You were on for a like until this sentence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackell (made profit on), brayford/bailey (Brayford sold for more than we bought the pair for), Russell (worth much more than we bought him for) Bryson (worth at least if not more than what we paid), Keogh (worth more and is arguably the best defender we have). Yes he's made financial flops, but put it into perspective,we've paid much more for lesser players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had given him £25m+ I dread to think what he would have bought. His five biggest signings were Sammon, Keogh, Barker, Shackell and Brayford. One dud from five ain't bad. And before you say 'BUT KEOGH' - in order for us to pass it out from the back like Clough wanted to and McClaren after him Keogh was absolutely vital.

This is true, However if the market hadn't of blown up these past few years I don't know if they would be. But I do agree in today's market we undoubtedly have made a profit on these players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdave85 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Chrissy Powell would be a good choice to keep the fans happy, but I get the impression from reading the forums that that is partly the reason we got NP in? I like Chris Hughton, look what he did with Brighton given the time, and in some respect Newcastle. I hope whoever comes in is given the proper time to work with the squad, as of now I'm not thinking of a promotion season anymore, not unless someone overachieves like SMC did in his first season. If we have one mediocre season though I'm certain heads will be called for again. I wanted NP to have the time by the way, however rightly or wrongly it would have turned out, we'll never truly know.

He's clearly the best option for the club have you had enough answers yet? or do you need more? Simply, for me, why go for him when we can step passed him and go for McClaren who's already shown what can be done with a happy coaching setup and squad.

europia Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Maybe it's time Mel just got on with it and appointed himself manager. If he does so during an international break he can fire himself before the season re starts. At least it will be out of the way and done with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we wouldn't go to him. Those are the odds for "Allardyce's next club", NOT "next Derby manager" odds. There's a big difference. We're bound to be shorter odds than most, as it looks likely we'll soon have a vacancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
