I don’t see it being as big an issue as it has been for Warburton moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich received over 100 applications, we’re candy land compared to them. Trust me, there will always be plenty of interest in Derby County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a few that are intriguing, some that could pay off and a couple that are a bit of a put off. The main remit of the new manager, for me, is to reduce the age of the squad and get the team playing on the front foot. The only thing for certain is they will get backed 100% when they join, and be given patience for as long as they are showing improvement and progress. First season is about getting a structure in place, then to build on it. Just this. Every name that someone puts out there, someone else shoots down in flames. It's a difficult job at the best of times and probably more so at Derby where we don't have a large higher management infrastructure and a demanding fanbase. I will just wait and see who is appointed and then hope against hope they get it right. But please, someone who can entertain us along the way.

Agreed, I don’t think he would keep up with the pace of managing a club side anymore, plus if he bought Keane with him can you really see him being a yes man to Mel? ?

Wolf didn't just manage Stuttgart for 2 years he got them promoted winning the league and also has a super successful youth pedigree with Dortmund under Klopp (winning 3 national titles from under 17 and under 19) I think Wolf would be an incredible appointment and would show real intent.

It’s not about disagreeing and being a **** about it, it’s about telling Mel he’s wrong if that’s what the manager thinks. can you really see Mel and Roy Keane getting on? it wouldn’t last 5 minutes. Imagine if Mel tried to get into the dressing room and b*****k the players if Keane was in there, he’d probably have Mel up against a wall.

I thought the suggestion on twitter about Nigel Clough was a bad one but Wassall......if they really are the best we can do then i give up. Better than Stimac. In that he works with players every day and has worked in coaching or behind the scenes in football, something stimac hasnt. but dont let that stop you thinking he is the messiah will you.
