sonofmidnight Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Whoever is our new manager please can we show solidarity and support for him. We can show Chelsea and Frank and the media that we are proud to be Derby County fans and show our strength as a fan base by getting right behind our club.

Sure but the short term, short sightedness of not building an infrastructure led to the worst season of any top club in history. I agree with you; we do need to get promoted. However, I think it's possible to do that in style and put a framework in place for surviving in the Premier League once there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I would love to do it in a style. I really would. But we've tried and we are now the longest serving Championship club (along with Forest) and I'm bored of this league. I just want us to go up. In an ideal world we could play lovely football and go up. But I've got to a point now where I'd take any football to get us up. We've built an infrastructure. The problem in Billy's time was that we went up in year one which wasn't expected. Plus the whole ownership problems when we were up meant he had about £10 million to spend. If we went up now playing football that wasn't easy on the eye. I still think we have the infrastructure to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee that whoever is our manager at the start of the season he will have his name sang loud and proud. All you've got to do is join in.?

sonofmidnight Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 What I find even more frustrating than Frank going is the degree of negativity on this thread. We are where we are and the new manager is going to have enough challenges without dealing with us being critical before he's even started.

I have absolutely no doubt that despite Morris calmness on the radio he will know, as do I and anyone who has watched football for a bit that we are now in a world of poo . A disillusioned support, pissed off playing staff and no time to sort it due to us being dicked around for 3 weeks . We have, when Lampard leaves, had two managers resign in two years, This had never happened once in the previous 133 years of the clubs existence .It's alright being nice and keeping a link with Chelsea - that's no good if you wind up in League 1 . I Wouldn't be worrying about promotion, we have it all on to compete next season in probably the most difficult league in football. I totally agree as I have said before - get up then worry about style . Regarding next season however it's all worry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I think this appointment will be a cheap one, a manager who is grateful just be at the club, our recruitment team will be tasked with wheeling and dealing and the order of the day will be youth. I know very little about Steve Holland, but if he has worked with no end of youth players then he would tick the box, he would know which players to loan, although are we really a step up to what he is used to? Danny Cowley is the one that stands out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td_evans Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Worth considering the the 'Rooney rule' is now in play - so we're very likely to be going to be at least interviewing either Hughton or Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just us supporters that need an inspirational appointment to lift our spirits after losing Lampard.... The players, too, will be equally disappointed. As professional as I am sure they will be, it would help motivate them to have a positive - and well known character - at the helm. How must Shinnie be feeling? Bennett? Maybe we do need someone at the level of a Benitez. All we could offer him is full control, shares in the training ground, as many cold crisps as he could eat and tickets to see Little Mix.

Andicis Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 From the names that are being mentioned on here, I favour Stendel the most, think he'd have us playing football in the right sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 2 hours ago, Parsnip said: Am I the only member of the Big Dave Fan Club??? I think that appointment would be a real kick in the teeth for Wassall. Moore was a backroom person who had to step up and take over before pretty quickly being sacked for not doing a good enough job. Wassall is a backroom person who knows our club inside out, lives and breathes it, has the top coaching qualification in football and the second best win percentage at Derby when stepping into the breach before. Don't see the case for big Dave at all, even though he's a top bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admira Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Latest movement in betting market. Cowkey slightly down to 2/1 Gerrard up to 7/1 Carrick down to 14/1 McInnes dropped to 50/1 and Lampard to stay disappeared Still no mention of Eustace.

Gut_Reaction Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 7 hours ago, CWC1983 said: He took over at Bristol and was told to shed all his best players for £. The club was on a downward trajectory and he couldnt stop it. Im not sure his style would fit the current playing staff, and he's been accused of not progressing the youth of AFC as much as he could. Id be surprised if he was on the shortlist. So he says, not true, he was pretty clueless but was a step too far at the time considering his lack of experience and lack of knowledge of the Championship. He brought in a fair few Scots who were simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 It seems to me that Chelsea have done exactly what we may do - gone for someone who knows the club inside out rather than managerial experience - this throws forward a few names inc Wassall and Moore Was hoping for Hughton.
