I suppose likes are more important than truth. But as long as their tweets begin "If this is true..." they think they are being respectful! Twossers!

Anon Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Since Peter Whittingham is ok, I vote we turn this into a Phil Brown bashing thread. Brown was probably the most stupid manager I've ever witnessed at Derby. I know he was working under really bad financial restrictions, but many of the decisions he made were just baffling. He inherited Inigo Idiakez as a highly talented attacking midfielder who had scored goals for fun the previous season and chose to deploy him as an anchor man sitting just in front of the back four.

It's not hard to wait for an official source. If he has died, then it's the family's right to wait to go public. Got to be first on social media.

I don’t want to name names but I live in Cardiff and a mate from work passed the information from someone he knows last week after the accident had happened. Didn’t mention anything because there had been no confirmation. I only put this thread up because I had seen quite a lot of mention on Twitter, including from ex-teammates of Whittingham so assumed it had been confirmed. Its definitely not a case of “trying to jump” in first or whatever others have suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I remember the gumps convincing themselves that he and Darren Pratley (when both had just had decent seasons) were "nailed on " to join them one summer. seemed to have disappeared somewhat in recent seasons....

Ridiculous. You'll be telling me we should have stuck Butterfield on the left wing just in case he had a hidden talent........? madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MK-Ram Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Awful news. He was certainly one of the best players to grace the championship and always made Cardiff look a threat. It's a shame that we never saw his quality at Derby...but then again, Phil Brown was playing him at left-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
