SaintRam Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Can see a lot of twittering about it; but can't find a news article anywhere. I recommend remaining dubious until there is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Sad news indeed ? Seemed like a nice down to earth kinda guy and bought some great football and footballers to Derby. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralRam Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 He bought Derby the most successful period in my lifetime. It's probably the same for most folk here. RIP Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The Derby manager when I was born, and all the older generations of rams fans in my family couldn’t remember him more fondly. RIP Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems strange for an hour to pass by without any actual news anywhere on it. I suppose the news could have passed from close family to Mr. Walsh quite quickly. I've just been caught mourning by (perfectly innocent) wolf cries before, so I'll continue to hesitate until I see something proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie George Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Very sad news. One of football's genuinely good guys. Thanks for some fantastic memories. RIP Bald Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Like most Derby fans, I was completely underwhelmed by his appointment and then spent the next 3 or 4 seasons absolutely loving his football with a young Steve McClaren by his side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Eranio, Asanovic, Stmac, Wanchope, Poom, Kinkladze, Bainao, Taribo West, the bloke had am eye for talent and I witnessed some of the best football I've seen, for any team, whilst he was manager. Absolutely gutted RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
