Ultimately, looking at the overall picture and how we have regressed on the pitch, it is down to some very poor decisions at the highest level.  I think if MM looked at some of the decisons made, in an unbiased way, he would and should, probably fire himself as not being up to the required standard.

The manager merry go round has not helped us at all and that is one of the reasons the club is now so destabilised with a disjointed underperfoming team 

I accept the manager situation hasn't been ideal, but ultimately on the pitch decisions are up to the manager of the time, right? So poor recruitment, our midfield not being good isn't down to Mel, but down to the recruitment team and the manager of the time. I think we're too keen to place blame on Mel, yet many of our fans were calling for him to do the same thing.

I would have employed Pearson, so I won't blame him for that. He also pulled the trigger at the correct time for that one.

Hurrah, somebody who doesn't rewrite history to suit.

He was sometimes in the same game but he gave us something we don't have now and that's legs and drive,I'm not saying we shouldn't have sold him we got a good price we have just wasted it on players that don't fit and quite frankly are not good enough.

His performances for Burnley are completely irrelevant. There's no denying he's a good player but he didn't show it often enough for us imo, therefore I was delighted with the fee we got.

Ok I am glad you are happy

Remember this quote from GR

The manager says he hopes Ince is still a Derby player this coming season but adds that if he were to leave then the club would look at a "very, very high quality replacement".

the signs are not looking good at this point are they !!

I suspect he would say something along the lines of " If you think you can do any better, then get your cheque book out, buy it off me and put your money where your mouth is you ungrateful tw@t" 

Brilliant that's exactly what I would say to ungrateful tw@t  too

He may be the owner and current custodian, but Derby County FC belongs to city and the fans as it has over the decades and we have a right to express our opinions if things are starting to go a bit pear shaped

I agree with this, but you're only really expressing your opinion, not ours.

Hendrick's formed dipped after he dislocated his shoulder in 2014.

He was our best player at the start of 2014 15. Was that injury against Ipswich? After that he came back and probably only played well 2 or 3 more times.

Yes he was brilliant at the start of the season. Think his injury was towards the end of September if I re-call? For whatever reason he didn't look the same the rest of the season. Seemed it was phychological and he was worried about getting injured. Without a doubt though at the end of the 13/14 season and start of 14/15 he was our best player.

Jota has gone from not wanting to play for anyone else in the Championship because of his love for Brentford, to being on the verge of signing for their biggest rivals. 

Who'd a thunk it? ?

What........you mean he's not gonna be coming to us after all ? (sighs in disbelief). But, but, but we've reached 92 pages, does'nt that count for anything ?

Ive heard Derby has spoken to Jota twice last week heard this from a reliable source

 

Wow so Derby are now making illegal approaches to players now to entice them to come to the club? I always thought the club had to accept an offer for the player first then contract negotiations could begin, silly me
