Ibby Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Rob Dorsett @RobDorsettSky Philip Cocu to be confirmed as new #dcfc in next 24 hours, I understand. He has verbally agreed to the job. Final legal details being completed. Derby wanted a coach who develops young talent -Cocu did that at PSV while winning 3 titles, and earned nearly £100m in player trading.

SuperDerbySuperRams Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 With our u18’s and his pedigree it really does make sense. I’m sure Mel really sold it to him that we beat all these top sides at that level. Exciting times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 2 hours ago, Jayram said: I genuinely can’t understand the excitement about this either. I will of course support whoever takes over but I think this sudden reverence for Cocu is ridiculous. What does he know about the Championship? Will he be able to manage without being fully funded like he was at PSV? If he was that good why was he sacked from his last job after 4 months? Not at all convinced by this. Bielsa knew nothing either and can’t speak English ...a good coach is a good coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 If as reported Cocu wanted assurances over finances and budgets then him taking the job makes me think we might have a bit to spend. Maybe I'm just being optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we know what we’re doing in that respect, can be quite expensive if we need to sack a manager at some point on that length of deal as well as his coaching staff- unless we have some clause in there. Possibly more cash for us if he gets poached early a la frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that, quite a commitment. Maybe Cocu needed that assurance to finalise the deal or Mel is hoping for more compo again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Now the idea of us having a Dutch orange away kit suggested by a poster on here earlier today ....would just be the ticket ..I’d get one for sure ...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 A glittering playing career, assistant manager of a World Cup finalist, 3 League titles, a track record of bringing through youth and making a net profit on transfers? Good grief Derby. No wonder Mel seemed so chilled on TalkSport the other day - he must have known this was a real possibility. Noticed a few comments about the relative strength of the Dutch League. No doubt its not the number 1 league in Europe but PSV have won 2 European Cups, Ajax and Feyenoord have another 5 between them and Ajax should have gone back to the final this year too. To have won 3 titles against that competition marks him out as a quality coach, no doubt whatsoever. The only 'black mark' on Cocu's CV actually gives me more confidence perversely. Reading various reports, it would appear there was something of a backroom revolt by some of the local coaches at Fenerbahce. Bearing in mind how volatile the football culture is over there, that must have made his task nigh on impossible. He's now only 48, with a wealth of experience and most importantly, a point to prove after being so highly rated only a couple of years ago - someone is going to reap the benefits of this guy's talent - I can't believe it may well be us! Yes he will ultimately be judged on first team results but the thought of him overseeing our young prospects is probably the highlight for me. Its a club culture we need to build & what Morris is correctly looking for - get the foundations right, get the talent in place and the results and success will follow.
