Has he nipped next door and told Mel do ya think?

They aren’t on speaking terms, Mel recently had the builders in and allowed them to start work at 7am. That’s where all this started

I feel like the phrasing of that sentence implies an unintended meaning that might prove to be accurate

Yeah if the ‘now’ was removed from it then it would just be ‘he’s had a fantastic career, he’s going to be Chelsea manager’ which sounds a lot more innocent! 

[Philmycock]

Can he hurry up and go so we can get cracking on with next season...

 

 

 

 

 

...or stay ?

I meant it could be interpreted more along the lines of "he's had a fantastic career, but now he's going to be the manager of Chelsea" rather than it being the continuation of a fantastic career

I think we are kidding ourselves now. As I said previously, I just want some stability with the manager and to get prepared for the season ahead. I'm beyond giving a stuff now about this media nonsense.

I'd rather be talking about upsetting the gumps and the dirties. Sad if it's true from a building perspective, but the club is bigger than the individual.

No malice if true, we move on. Cmon Derby, let the rollercoaster for 2019-20 begin.

Derby owner Mel Morris is prepared to stump up a bumper £2.5m four-year deal to try and persuade his rookie boss to stay.

Yes I got that first time ? probably not far from the likely outcome, no one stays in the managers job at chelsea for long, successful or not. Of course Lampard wont be able to resist the pull. Also I think Mel would rather have the £4 million in the bank.

Thought we might have learned are lesson on giving managers massive contracts after the first bit of interest. Clearly not. ?

[Abu Derby]

Even if we offered him £5m a year he’d still go back to Chelski. It’s immaterial. 

[SaintRam]

Lines up with the idea that we've imminent investment, but I'd have expected to have heard something about that (from a reputable source) by now.

Completely off topic (but I think this thread needs it), my kids simply don't believe that in olden days (ie when I was a kid) there were times of the day when there was nothing at all on the telly except this test card.

It think it turned out to be a good financial decision with Rowett though. I can't imagine that we would have got £2 million compensation from his original contract.

I wish we still had that luxury - better than anything the BBC put on nowadays and more enjoyable.

I’m offended, there’s no r in the pronunciation.

[SuperDerbySuperRams]

2.5m a year. Blimey. Hopefully that means we have decent £ to find a replacement should we need too

[thederbyram]

No doubt if it's an extra 500k a year for 4 years the compensation will have miraculously gone from 4m to 6m for the inevitable poaching by Chelsea in the next 3 years...

[ThePrisoner]

We believing the Daily Star now? Blimey, can’t wait to find out my latest Derby news from the Daily Sport.

Well its only an extra £750,000 per year (if anything in that article is accurate.) Not exactly breaking the bank from an FFP perspective even without investment.
