Not Sam whilst I was there. He did and may well still have a flat in duffield and Sam does live just outside the village. Are you sure it wasnt goldmember,and not schteve?

Joe. Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 1 hour ago, Anon said: The Titanic analogy only serves to highlight the ludicrous hyperbole around the end of McClaren's Derby tenure. Comparing sliding out of the play offs and finishing 8th/losing the play off final to one of the worst disasters in maritime history is about par for the course in terms of the utter nonsense spouted on this forum. I agree the 14/15 season was a much worse situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's what we could get with Powell staying on as head coach. But that is wanting to be what he is rubbish at (recruitment) and giving up what he is great at (coaching). I'd have NC as Director of Football and SM as Head Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronRam 140.6 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Would that stinking run at the end of his tenure be viewed differently if it happened in say October rather than when it did? Still would of missed out, but the season would have probably had momentum all the way to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 5 hours ago, Millenniumram said: Indeed, it seems that looking in from the outside we do have a very weak squad, and I for one was certainly all for a large scale clear out in the summer, but someone clearly decided to carry on with what we've got, and it's fair to say it hasn't worked thus far... We only have six fit players remaining from 14/15. The argument that the players keeps failing and have weak mentalities has little weight behind it.

cheron85 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Do you think as part of this Mel will get the compensation money back which we paid Smacca when he left? Bit like when we took Seth back from Leeds so they didn't have to pay us any more long service fees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 His first job will have to be a massive acknowledgement of his behaviour prior to getting the sack and an apology. Alternatively he may prefer the Tony Blair approach, and look where that's got him, lot's of cash in the bank but loathed by so many people. Sound familiar ?

FindernRam Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Please let this be rumour and not fact. Teams had got us really figured out after the "golden period" and we should not forget it! We had no plan B and plan A was obsolete. They say never go back and generally that is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you were bang on. Steve McClaren won just six of 28 Premier League games in charge of Newcastle Steve McClaren is expected to be appointed as Derby County head coach on Wednesday just 17 months after he was sacked, BBC Radio Derby reports. Nigel Pearson left his role as boss by mutual consent on Saturday after less than five months, and McClaren, 55, has been in talks with the Rams. Chris Powell, who has been in temporary charge, is expected to return to his role as assistant manager. Ex-England boss McClaren left Derby in acrimonious circumstances in May 2015. Following constant speculation linking him with the job at Newcastle, McClaren subsequently joined the Magpies but was sacked in March 2016. Pearson, who replaced Paul Clement as boss, was originally suspended by the Championship side pending a club investigation into his "behaviour" following a heated exchange with owner Mel Morris. McClaren won just six of 28 Premier League games in charge of Newcastle, who were just one place off the foot of the table when he departed and they were eventually relegated. He only spent two seasons with the Rams, leading them to Championship play-off final defeat by QPR in 2013-2014. Derby lost 3-0 at home to Reading on the final day of the following season, meaning they missed out on the play-offs after ending February top of the table, and McClaren was sacked in the same month. BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy said: "McClaren was interviewed last night just hours after Morris spoke warmly to a business leaders' conference about the head coach he sacked almost 18 months ago after the club's season had imploded. "McClaren is recognised as one of England's outstanding coaches and Powell - who played for him at Derby in the 1990s when McClaren was first-team coach - is happy to work under him. "It will be McClaren's fourth spell at Derby. His contract will run to summer 2018 and he's expected to be in the dug-out for the Leeds match this Saturday. The rest of the coaching staff will be kept on." As well as coaching England from 2006-07, McClaren was previously manager at Middlesbrough, FC Twente, Wolfsburg and Nottingham Forest. McClaren U-turn a 'shock' Analysis: BBC Radio Derby's Owen Bradley "Shocked is an understatement considering the nature of Steve McClaren's departure. "Though he was ultimately sacked, McClaren damaged lots of relationships at the club by never bringing to an end the links with Newcastle. In the eyes of some, that derailed Derby's promotion campaign. "Mel Morris is a big fan of McClaren's quality as a coach, but was part of the group that sacked him. If that relationship has been repaired then it will happen." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
