Our new Manager will be in place ready for pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 27 minutes ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: My gut feeling is the opposite, I think Mel will completely dismiss the Gerard approach, no way is Mel so unprofessional that he would talk about another manager in employment live on air if it wasn't to just brush it off. He will say, we like to keep our options open, we have sounded many candidates out etc etc. Plus, as much as I would like Gerard, why would we arrange a friendly with Rangers if we knew there was a good chance Gerard would be our replacement for Frank? Doesn't make sense, because if we did take Gerard, do you really think Rangers would welcome us in their back yard? I'd feel sorry for the 1.8k travelling up and any friendship we have as clubs would be over. Annoying amount of sense spoken here. Wish there was a big statement coming, but really would be strange way of handling it. I think Mel will feel he has dealt with the situation with dignity and be slightly exasperated about the way other people have stuck their oar in and he wants the chance to say so calmly... with lots of 'we will move forward together as a club, make sure we choose the next candidate wisely' type stuff. Wring the last bit of publicity out of Frank and take the high moral ground and look like a club people want to come to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Maybe Mel's just an interesting guest to have on. Simon Jordan was praising him on there the other week. Its a national radio with the Derby Chaiman, talking the championship, the club in general & our manager situation. He'll be able to put his side of the story across. I dont think its more than that tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think firstly that MM has been invited on the show...Mel hasn’t invited himself on to make an announcement...he’s not that razzmatazz. Instead we will hear the calm voice of Mel giving the Derby slant on a number of issues...including £ and Sky, FL & Chelski and The Championship Rat Race. And I think we should look on the bright side of FL at Chelski...I’m sure we will get first dibs on some loan talent as a pay-back from Frank to Mel and Derby County...with love ? ?

If I was a betting man I'd say Mel is either going to announce we're in talks with him or we've got big investment coming. Seems far too unlikely that he'd go for a 2 hour interview purely to vent, sure he's probably as frustrated as the rest of the Derby fans, but he's a businessman first, I suspect he's got big news of some sort. Why would we arrange a random interview on a random radio station to announce major investment or a new manager. The club has its own channels for that kind of stuff and wouldnt (or shouldnt) just throw it casually out there as part of a radio interview. If nothing else it would be unprofessional. Derby County have a very slick media operation at the moment and any such announcements will go through them. I very much doubt we will hear anything significantly new tomorrow at all.

Keep them. its makes us look tin pot. One season loans, one season managers.....forget it. You can't build anything with a strategy like that. Lets start building properly. Even if its with players like holmes and szmodics. At least they would be our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
