Derby blood Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 After a lot of moaning from some fans about our manager again. Who would be your best managers in the last 10 years? number one would have to be Mac part one, for the excitement, he gave me to that 86 point season number 2 Nigel Clough for sorting us out, wage bill, and getting us to be competative again, and some great wins over the red dogs and Leeds number 3 Frank Lampard, could be my number one if he takes us up, bringing through some exciting players, also building a team for the future, given time I am sure he will bring success to Derby.

Mac version 1 by a country mile. Why are we then mentioning a manager who potentially could do good things in the same discussion I could say the same thing about Pearson, Clement etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Mac. Broke a few records didn't he? Goals, points and clean sheets at PP or summat? Most my fave games since relegation were Mac games. Forest, Brighton, Blackpool, Wolves, Leeds, Watford... could name more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on that basis I would have Burley as number 3, no money to spend bought in some exciting players for nothing like Smith , Rasik and Idi, also got us to the play offs playing some very good football.

Hate to tell you, but that’s more than 10 years ago. You’re getting old my friend, time keeps ticking on. Even billy doesn’t get into the 10 year time frame I think. Jewell maybe just (although in a list of about 8, he’d be number 20). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for pointing that out to me, so we will change that to 15 years ago lol, your right I am getting old, been following the Rams since I was 7 back in 79, still love my Derby so much, been through some tough times, but it makes me appreciate the better times much more.

MK-Ram Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Undoubtedly Steve McClaren, and I was one of those who wanted to throw my season ticket in the bin when he was first appointed...what could have been if Newcastle had not appeared. Jury is out beyond that. The snake managed to get results but the football was woeful and we were easily found out by the bigger teams. Frank has promise but, so far, doesn't seem to be learning from his early mistakes and his rotation and tinkering gives Benitez a run for his money. I hope we can suddenly turn it around and everything slots into place, it doesn't need much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 In ten years we dont exactly have a lot to choose from. Clement and Rowett did ok, but played horrendous football, which was awful to watch. The less said about Pearson the better. That leaves McClaren, Clough and Lampard. McClaren wins that particular race by a country mile - both times he was here. Cliugh did a good job whilst he was here though and if Lamoard can get us playing most of a season like we played early on then he might be able to challenge McClaren but nowhere near yet.

Owd miner Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I remember watching Ipswich when they came ta BBG and George Burley wa manager... they were brilliant... I remember thinking at time he would be a decent manager.. Bit pants how it all ended.. Can anyone else remember when Swindon came with Glenn Hoddle playing as player manager??? Hoddle ruled that game.. 92? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Macca. Used to love how we started like a house on fire. It was genuinely exciting pre-game because you know we were going to take it to teams at PP from the off, even if sometimes we didn't have much to show for it against teams that sat in. We were just a team. A really good team. No amazingly outstanding players (credit to Clough Jnr for getting the gang together) but a bunch of players that wanted to play together. I don't think we've seen that since. Every manager we've had since seems to have liked feeling our way into a game and hoping for a bit of luck or individual genius to win games. Rowett relied heavily on this. Clement too but his team played well as a team for 4 or 5 months before we looked a bit clueless. Pearson was a joke. Lamps is a mixture between Rowett and Clement. Likes the possession and control Clements team had but heavily relying on individual brilliance to win us games like Rowett did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCG Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Clough was bloody awful; people have short memories. Mac, but even he wasn't good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Mac 1. Can't help but judge every Derby manager since against what it was like in that season. I've been supporting Derby since George Burley and I think it has been my favourite period as a supporter. Even better than the BD promotion season.
