Just got past the Wesley sacking (I never realised Karen Brady was employed by us)! Also didn't realise just how positive the Billy Davies dressing room was. Makes you wonder what might have happened? There are so many similarities in past mistakes to the situation we find ourselves in now though. Think the Bill Davies revelations were my favourite part...the revelations of how he built that band of brothers style squad. My opinion of him definitely went up after reading it, whilst wondering if he went on to suffer with illness. That paranoia didn't sound healthy.

To be fair, I think Billy's situation has only got worse since us. As loved as he seemed to be by the squad, he was polarising in equal measure with them as well - some of which didn't make it into the final book. Been trying to get an interview with him for three years - we persevere. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Ram Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 @HuddersRam Something is doing my head in and I may well be wrong but in the book you mention that Will Hughes made his debut at home against Peterborough. Was that not away at Peterborough? Pretty sure I was there that day.. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite - I am like the character in Catch-22 who tries to make his life as boring as possible so that it appears to last longer. Anyhow, I hope your book sells very well. Good luck.

G_Kinkladze Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Ryan, just finished the book, and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. I was born in the early 90's so the book literally covered my Derby County education from as far back as I can remember it as a child. Fantastic interviews, really well written and I've ordered copies for my Dad and Father-in-Law. Can't help but feel that fate is somewhat against the club when you read the back half of the book (from Mac 1 onwards), so close on so many occasions despite the Managerial turmoil and changes of style... how did nobody get us over the line? Also, reinforced my man-crush on Brys, the kind of bloke you'd love to sit and have a pint or three with, rare to see such devotion to a club the days I feel.
