Don't know whether it's true that he's on holiday but seems a bit strange if he is. Though having said that, when is a quiet period for a football manager?! There's better managers than Rowett staying with their clubs this week taking care of business. If I were a professional footballer with a couple of offers on the table this week, I'd like to hear from the organ grinder what he requires of me and what's on offer, not from his monkey. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or has he already given up trying to bring anyone else in because we failed to get our main targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superzak Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We are all guessing but my take on it is G.R is all wind and P..s. Talks a good game ...we are going to do this and that but doesn't follow it through. Disappointing I know but I think mels axe needs to fall once more. Neil Warnock proves this...he is not the most liked manager but he gets the job done wherever he goes. He doesn't need months to get things sorted it works straight away. I cant see that anything has improved in the 14 or 15 games gr has had. In fact I think we have gone backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need months to get things sorted it works straight away. 15/16 Cardiff finished 8th. 16/17 Warnock arrived in the October and finished 12th. Doing well this season so far but early days, this time last year Barnsley, QPR and Bristol City were all in the top 6, even Forest were 7th and we know how that ended.

Boring play, defeats to mediocre sides , billy sharp scoring for fun against us. It's not so much the Derby way , more the Burton way. But on 8 times the Burton budget for being 3 points better off. Rowett is a young pretender to Clough I'm afraid and gradually that will sink in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 If Rowett isn't the man for the job, the next call Mel should make is to Man City and see if their owners are looking for another club to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was our first real test and well apart at the seams. Are YOU up to the job though? That's the big question... Do you really provide the correct level of forums bants? Are any of your opinions amusing enough to provide small amounts of mirth or are they just offensively stupid? Should you really be trusted with the creation of threads?

Gandalf's shin pads Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I think, realistically, and assuming that Morris has learned and will now show the patience and understanding he has been promising previous managers, Rowett will probably get until Christmas next season (providing we are not flirting with the wrong end of the table this season, which I don't think we will be) That gives him another two windows to demonstrate that he can operate effectively in the transfer market, build a team and implement a distinctive style/pattern of play which will hopefully be competitive. That, to my mind, seems like a reasonable point at which to start judging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
