Put a good young manager in under him and some consistency in all the important areas may follow. Does he have any interest in that kind of role? Might see it as an insult to say we want you to pick our players but we don’t trust you to manage them. He’s still fairly young for a manager, probably feels like he has a lot more to give in the dugout. With the Forest interest he was quoted as saying he would like to manage Forest, but not for the foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Situation was actually worse. Great that all that hard work, and McClaren's went up in smoke. I’m not sure I would describe 4 and a half years of treading water as making it work. Very good record in transfers apart from Sammon. But a poor manager. I’d have him as Dof but no where near good enough at management.

needles Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I'd love Clough as DoF. Made for it, but I doubt he'd see it that way. What about Chris Coleman? Sunderland were a basket case, so I'm writing that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( P.S Dean Smith likes to work with a Dof ) Improved league position every season, whilst excising the dead wood, reducing the wage bill and developing the youngsters. When you look at what he started with, and what McClaren ended up inheriting.....he was a rare example of a Derby County Manager accomplishing the mission he was given. Im not convinced that he could have taken us much further, but he certainly laid a lot of the groundwork for what little success came later.

Don’t see it, he has a job at a club who will be looking at bouncing back up to the Championship, inherent security is exactly what he has now with Ben Robinson. Also wasn’t he totally against the idea of DOF’s when he was manager here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I’d like Jokanovic here. His teams play good football - we could swoop on Sunday all being well. If not him, then Steve Bruce who will be available should Villa fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Gerrard must be kicking himself. If he'd just waited another few weeks he could have had this plum assignment, instead of exiling himself away to the dog & duck league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just always seen him as a good fit for us, think he’s spoken highly of the club before and has always praised Keogh, Hendrick and Christie when part of the ROI, also nearly ended up coming a couple of times to boot. I’d be happier with him than quite a few others suggested anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I can't imagine that we will look overseas, so it'll be a manager from the Football League or someone with experience in this division. In order of preference: 1) Nathan Jones 2) Dean Smith 3) Mark Warburton 4) Paul Cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
