That already happened last week if I recall correctly ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm disappointed with all of this, I thought Rowett would show our club a bit more loyalty and commitment and to ditch the Rams for ****ing Stoke, of all clubs! Still, if he wants to go then I suppose this is as good a time as any to go, at least it's not half way through a season. Not sure as yet who I would want as Rowett's replacement, maybe Warburton.........anyone? ...or maybe GR is “bust” as in he has sold the Mercs, gambled on old Ford Mondeos which haven’t worked and sees Stoke as an escape hatch...?

DCFC1388 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Wasnt fussed about getting him, now not fussed about him going. Lets see who is next in the managers chair, big and very busy summer likely to be ahead. I for one am looking forward to what could be ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wixman1884 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 If he's going, while I personally think it's better for us long term, I'm actually quite surprised. I thought we were stuck with him for a while. Time to get a solid footballing philosophy back into the club and get the attendances back up again. I'd gladly take a mid table finish for a manager that looks like he's building a young, hungry, positive team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rample Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 The best way of building continuity/stability long term would be to promote from within. I'm not sure we have the means for that now but it wouldn't shock me if Phillips was a main contender - he seems to never fall out of favour with Mel. Likewise Wassall getting another shot. There are a lot of big names out of work at the moment. Allardyce wouldn't be much more exciting but I reckon he could be effective. Current mess at Stoke aside Hughes has had reasonable success in his career. If Carvalhal (sp?) hadn't failed at Swansea I think he could have been in with a shout. To be honesr if Pardew, McCarthy and Moyes are going to get mentioned then employing anybody else would seem like we've dodged a big shiny bullet.

clarkeram7 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 My biggest concern is that the process starts all over again: new manager comes in; new manager wants to see players during pre season; new manager wants to let them prove themselves; new manager leaves it too late in the window to change much; another season of the same. Whoever takes over.. Let them know when they sign the contract that the current bunch AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH! We need to let go of aging legs and freshen up with a exciting young players.

GeneralRam Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I was really annoyed last time about the Stoke link in January but this time I'm not too bothered, I'm more annoyed with changing managers every season. Rowett's face just didn't fit here at the end of the day and the supporters didn't fully back him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 So I have defended rowett at any given opportunity any now he's jumping ship. I feel sick! Would love to know why. Money motivated? Too difficult a task here? Negative fans taken their toll? Probably all 3 sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all indications Rowett was going to start next season here. Think it's a bit daft to call the club a joke when Rowett seems to want out. He's been given a new contract (costing us as much as we spent on Jerome each year) and Mel has given him all the backing he can. Short of giving him an even bigger contract and stupid money, which would probably have come back to haunt us, there's nothing Mel can do. Were not exactly a welcoming bunch though are we, booing cos were drawing at half time etc etc I know what ur saying mate and yes but let's be honest our fan base or many of them expect winning football after 4-5 games and if not it's let's boot them out and move onto the next that starts from the top down yes this is different obviously but too many over the last few weeks and months it's been the minute we've been struggling it's right get him out, to oh let's keep him cos we're doing ok again that thread on here the other day should we sack him if we don't beat Bristol city summed up the short sightedness of many the most precious commodity in football is time and no ******* is going to get it here are they Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Anyone else think how much Rowett has wanted the job his son is a Derby fan that this shows how much of a mess we are in as a club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
