TheDeadlySaul Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just now, curtains said: McClaren fans read this. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/12/derby-county-steve-mcclaren-championship-part-company I expected an interesting opinion article about why McClaren had to go, but it is just explaining that McClaren has left Derby and gives us quotes from Mel that everyone has read. McClaren had one bad run of form and was sacked because Mel's mate Rowett was gaining interest from clubs like Norwich at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why did so many fans want Clough back. Ultimately more successful ? Dave team had flair with Charlie and Franny. Brians team often dug it out.

What view? That you have to play boring negative hoofball to win games? I suppose it is. Yeah, I don't think you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Neither option on its own suits tbh. I prefer to watch good attacking football as I think it's the way to winning consistently. I don't think winning develops into attractive football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it we are in the top six and results are good. Given that we have played decent football for a few seasons and got nowhere I can live with the change in style if it gets results. I get the impression a good amount of people on here do not agree and I am curious to see what the split is. It's nice to be getting the results, but performances would need to improve in the long term to achieve promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's 2 types of football. Ajax and Rowett style. Which type was Jim Smith and George Burley? The infatuation? Which fans keep bringing him up first?

There was general feeling that although Dave Mackay brought in a number of exceptional players to add to Clough's squad, success wasn't necessarily going to last...it didn't!

Because the criticism aimed at Rowett has been that his football is ugly and dull. Nothing to do him not being McClaren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
