It took Clough a number of years to assemble the team, that Mac 1 then took to the play-offs. So unless Rooney is a miracle worker, I think it'll take him at least a couple of years to built a side that will compare to our last decent one.

FlyBritishMidland Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 @Ghost of Clough- Jason Shackell about sums up the craziness of our recent transfer windows, or at least the first couple of years of Mels tenure. Nigel signs a 27 year old(?) about to enter his prime years for approx £1M. Clement (or Rush) signs a 32 year old with his best years behind him for approx £3M on a 3 year contract. Madness - thought it at the time and it seems even more bizarre now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anya was signed for more money, on more money, and showed no desire to move away from the club so goes to the bottom of the list for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we already had Fozzy and Lowe at the club it was a poor signing. Worse than Butterfield who filled a gap we had in the squad, on less wages and was one of our best players in the Clement season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson was an absolute beast for about 6 games on arrival, then had a shocker in the 1-0 defeat to Forest and never really recovered till his last few months, although he was fairly decent under Rowett for a short spell . Butterfield was just pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This man, for anybody who has been following the rams since the Clough era he is the stand out player, anybody who didn’t actually see him just won’t understand or get it, he was part of a different era, he encapsulates the BBG days ! Division three to division one in successive seasons, the club being saved from extinction! Chelsea and Leeds trying to take the osmaston end, beating forest in the FA cup, Arthur cox, Phil Gee, Patrick kits, centenary kits, beating Leeds to gain promotion to division one, beating Plymouth to become champions ! Bobby was always there, ever reliable ! Legend ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he supported Leeds ?, though to be honest I also think promising him a contract through that 91-92 loan spell where he really did the business then binning him off last minute to sign Gabbiadini probably didn't endear us much. A genuine reason to perhaps shift your loyalty. I'd take that over John McGovern, who seems to have a pol pot year zero syndrome when it comes to time he spent here prior to Forest for no discernable reason. If he hadn't been able to sell his medals from his time here, he'd probably have smelted then down and buried them in the garden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
