Fans have a right to an opinion, we’re bottom of the table, so surely we’re well within our rights to call for the managers sacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I said at the time that a 4 year contract for any manager is a massive gamble nowadays. They simply don’t last long enough anymore to justify that sort of length, 3 year absolute max for me. Think that decision has come back to haunt us now, with the massive compensation we have to pay to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see the hysteria would suggest he’s gone already and Rooney is the next manager. I don’t know why I just like Cocu and I respect him. Maybe I’m misguided but I have had lots of experience of Derby getting rid of managers too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I assume Mel and Cocu agreed it so that there was stability. We’ve had a great deal of chopping and changing so Mel probably felt this was the right guy to establish a stable regime. It still might prove to be the right call. or not...

Paul Jewell made it worse when he came in where as Mac1 inherited a good Clough squad and made it better. No guarantees in Football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I would think that this forum is a pretty good reflection of the overall fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Jewell made it worse when he came in where as Mac1 inherited a good Clough squad and made it better. No guarantees in Football It’s necessary because we’re bottom of the league and playing awfully. We’ve scored one league goal from open play all season. A new manager would struggle to do a much worse job. Cocu seems like a lovely bloke, but I don’t think he’s a particularly great coach to be honest. Most players seem to have regressed under him, and he’s certainly not getting the best out of our attacking options. Feels very similar to the Nigel Clough days. We need a new manager to come in and do a similar job to McClaren when he first arrived - get the best out of a squad of players that were held back by the previous man in charge.

Coneheadjohn Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Given the plan and the vision probably realistic and given that we got decent compo for Growett and Frank it might have guaranteed future value,risky but I can see it. Unfortunately the reality has turned into a dogs breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
