needles Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 A necessary step I think. Just hope he's got the right man. We can all surely chill our beans about GR's job now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Disappointed but not surprised if this means Gary is staying. That said, I’m glad we’re trying to be more organised about recruitment and this is a good move if he’s got the credentials. Not sure where he’s been so it’s not the most awe inspiring, but it’s something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that a player under-performs at Derby means nothing. The fact that a Derby fan doesn't rate a player means even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobram Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Alan Nixon also says that Rowett will be backed next season by Mel. He said we wont be spending loads but it's looking good for whoever is in charge of the team next season. I would put it up but I don't know how to upload tweets on here.

Identified a player who was not finding success and was underused at another club, commanding a low fee, who proves to be more competent than anyone at old club realised, and successfully improves your team.

Carnero Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Wavering off main theme of the topic but I'm bloomin' sure that Burton Albion had a goalkeeper called Darren Robinson back in their Eton Park days... I wonder if this is the same guy?? @ronnieronalde?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birmingham had a wage cap i believe. From memory it was 10k a week. Who are you going to attract for that? Shotton has done well for himself since.

BathRam72 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Wow, what a bunch we all are!!! Moaning on one hand that the recruitment has been dire. So we get another chief of recruitment and we bring him down before he even gets the chance to prove himself here. Surely any change in that department has to be a positive and give him a chance. I am suprised anyone would want to come if they read these pages before they say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobram Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I hope they decide to utilise the loan market more. We have had success from that in the past. Martin, Ward, Thorne, Ince, Bent...the list goes on. Loans with permanent options gives players an incentive to come and earn a contract and play regular football. We've focused recently on permanent deals for whatever season and have build up a huge squad of players on big contracts without motivation.

JaguarRam Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Goody goody.... Maybe he can find a 7 foot striker to wack the ball to.. That seems to be the current tactics.. It's all very good being one of Rowett's mates but does that make him good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 My thoughts exactly Fulham made two good loan signings ,and all the promoted clubs last year all had one Chelsea loanee . Huddersfield had Palmer and most of the clubs had at least one or two .It's lower risk than buying and if you do get promoted it's an opportunity to mix the rebuild job with consolidation or change as you wish.

The world seems full of ex Rams who in the main are doing quite well elsewhere. Loanees in particular we seem to have trained really well, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
