Obviously our games get called off because of a hurricane. Of course they do. I'd be more surprised if they didn't. I bet Cocu thought taking over a 2nd division club in England might be just the little platform he needed to boost his profile again Got ya!

Leading to a truncated pre-season, with no time to prepare, and having to settle for cast offs from other teams to make up the numbers. No helping hand from Frank "I'll still love Derby" Lampard.

SSD Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Chris Martin's career resurrection out of nowhere has been a pleasant surprise. End of the season, win the final against Forest at Wembley on penalties, only for the EFL to win the court battle and reverse the result. Forest gain promotion. Riots on the streets. Rammie and Ewie sharpens the pitchforks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You jest, but I've thought already, If we did win promotion, you could bet your house on that within a couple of days there will be a news article saying the EFL are working to block Derbys promotion to the premier league on the grounds of financial irregularities, just to add to the heart ache for fans.

I bet Cocu thought taking over a 2nd division club in England might be just the little platform he needed to boost his profile again Got ya! Cocu took the four year contract so he would have time to develop an exciting young team. Well ahead of schedule in my opinion or he studied videos if our U18 and U23 teams and thought that the job was a piece of cake. Once he got the older players doing the right things he knew that he could bring the younger players in. He must be a little surprised at the improvement in some players. He has stated that they are easy to teach because they are so keen to learn. I never dreamt that we could get this far so quick after losing our top three loanees., Keogh etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The Wagatha Christie story takes one final bizarre twist when both Wayne and Jamie announce they are divorcing their respective partners and plan a lavish civil ceremony later in the summer that will be the cover story for Hello magazine. Jamie signs for newly promoted Derby and they become the first gay couple to play for the same team in the Premier League. Yeah I know it's not bizarre enough but couldn't think of anything more crazy than has already happened this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
