Really? I mean.... REALLY? I think Uncle Mel made it clear at Breakfast (without pig) that Eddie would be his dream. Does @David know you feel this way about Howe?

Personally don't think he is the right man for the job, based upon his track record at his previous clubs and the brand of football he employed (not that I watched that much of it!), and given that he is and was part of the NP set up. I'd rather have the other ex Derby player that's managing abroad at the moment, if we were basing it on affiliation with the club, although ideally I wouldn't go down either route. only my opinion of course :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is the answer to be honest to Derby County's problems Nothing against him as a person just don't rate his management style. I want Gary Rowett always have. IMO he would have been a great and would be a great appointment. No sentiment in Football and appointing Powell is a sentimental thing in my eyes.

Phoenix Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Following on from that article on Powell, it would suggest that these are the odds Steve McClaren 7/4 Chris Powell 2/1 Steve Bruce 5/1 Gary Rowett 10/1 Alex McLeish 12/1 Glenn Hoddle 16/1 Billy Davies 16/1 Glenn Hoddle?

Went to an after dinner do last Friday and John Barnes was guest speaker. Said Hoddle went religious crazy but is over that now and that he's the best coach in the business and in his opinion should be back as England manager.

You were a firm advocate of Pearson being given a chance and yet you're writing off Powell after only 2 games in charge that have yielded 4 points from 6 in 2 away games. Why not respect Powell's right to prove the doubters wrong the same way you did Pearson's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads mate, but once their in the job I'll back them until it's clear they're not up to it. Which ironically is exactly what you advocated whilst Pearson was in charge.

I still want Derby to win though week in week out. Point is if we make him permanent it could all end in tears again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he is manager he will have to upset players by leaving them out of the first 11 just as Pearson did. Players always want to play in the first 11. My worry with Powell is the fact he may not be strong enough for these players as he's Mr nice guy . Of course I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't said he can do a 'really good job' only that he should be given a chance. Very different things. Equally, I've not seen anything that would unequivocally suggest he's incapable of taking us forwards either. I'm just firmly in the 'give a man a chance' camp, rightly or wrongly.

That's fair enough but I really think Mel and Sam have to get the next manager appointment right if Pearson goes don't you. There is not much wriggle room this time. We do not need to be looking again anytime soon for another manager do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely - I'd go one step further and say that the raft of changes recently have destabilised the club. I'd hoped Pearson would help steady the ship and was prepared to put up with a period of consolidation if required. It seems that whatever has happened has put paid to his chances however and so here we are again! I think out the vaguely realistic options I'd probably favour Wagner or Robinson but I'd be very happy if Powell took to the job and I'd not be wildly surprised if he did. There's much to like about him as a man he's clearly emotionally invested in the club. That's not the worst starting point IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M8 if he's appointed I will be backing him all the way as Derby Manager but I'm just saying he wouldn't be my first choice. I believe we have limited options now though as to our choice of manager due to circumstances but I could be wrong on that also. Who knows.
