This one may just be different but only time will tell. As for next year, Klopp, Pep or Jose wouldn’t keep this team up. But if we get up, we won’t have this team Not sure about that. Would you expect GR to be given a massive transfer kitty if Rams were promoted? Isn't it more likely that he would be making one or two big signings and sticking with much of promotion squad, like Wagner at Huddersfield. Not saying that that would be enough to stay up, but building a new team overnight also has an element of risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or where we? What happened to 'horses for courses'? It seems Rowett only plays one way. Roy, you have an agenda against Rowett. You and about four others predominately only pipe up when you perceive a whiff of something to moan about. You are of course entitled to write what you want but it is quite obvious.

Hudds would need replacing. Definitely 1 winger and if money was available a prem quality striker. The first 4 could be done with top 6 cast offs and a couple of loans. The striker is the hard bit. A gamble on a foreigner or a youngster on loan from a top side would be the best we could hope for. 40/50 million would cover that lot. Sensible amount to spend and enough to keep us up in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The young loanee striker option could go pear shaped like Tammy Abraham at Swansea. Maybe better off looking at the decent leagues in Europe for a goal scorer. Not sure how good our overseas scouting is at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Just a thought....Thorne can’t get in the team because Huddlestone in recent games has performed really well, his best form since returning to the club. Im all for criticising a manager or the team when things aren’t going well but not when we’re 2 points off automatic. Even the football in recent weeks has been more attractive. The Rowettball myth pushed by some on here has long been de-bunked. It is utter nonsense!!! There are going to be games where we’re not going to be at it. It’s the championship!!! Wolves just drew with Millwall. Geordies lost twice to Blackburn and they won the league. Key is when not at it to grind it out which we’ve done against Hull. I’m also intrigued to see where Hull end up. I think they’re a different proposition with Adkins in charge and they’ll start winning soon. Their goose is cooked possibly as regards top 6 but wouldn’t be surprised if they’re top half pushing top 6 by end of the season, making this recent 0-0 a decent result. Hopefully they’ll do us a few favours along the way. I would like teams managers etc to be judged on a run of games rather than week to week. It provides a balanced view. If you judge Rowett on first half of the season, he’s done an excellent job. It cannot be questioned, the facts are there to support it with the league table, goals scored, goals conceded, goal difference. Furthermore recent performances are showing it might well be sustainable. @RoyMac5, your agenda is becoming boring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, you were playing silly buggers asking who I would want to be manager like I get to chose. He's the first name I thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question from the other poster, you have made it quite clear you don't want Rowett here, so why is it silly buggers asking who you want to replace him with?

I don't see what not liking one manager has to do with knowing who to replace him with. I'm not currently a Rowett fan, who knows that might change as I keep reading how he's still learning the job, but who to have instead what's the point in having an opinion when I'm never going to get to appoint them!
