We'll never know. It's not beyond possibility no, but on the balance of things I think we made the right decision at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RammingStone66 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Anyone see this interview with Henry - https://youtu.be/VDt1bxznxKg Not saying we could get him, but would you want him? He seems to want attacking football played out from the back and talks about changing the mentality of players that pass sideways and back. Though he doesn't have much experience either. Just thought it would be an interesting choice if it were even possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 In order to raise cash for the club, perhaps we could do an auction? 'Manage Derby County for the rest of the season?' the highest bidder wins. I'd imagine that it would bring in some decent money. Rotherham may even have a extremely rich supporter who would be keen to ensure we play a squad as weak as possible to ensure that we finish below them? Who knows...

Once our fate this season has been decided , if Wayne does not get the backing to either have a good go at the Championship or bounce back from League 1 then i can see him resigning , Mel has a decision to make either one more go at it or sell to the highest bidder , this summers make or break for the Rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes excellent idea let's get another big name ex pro with zero or limited managerial experience in again as obviously it's worked with Rooney, Lampard etc. What's Sol Campbell doing at the moment.

Whilst we had a bad start, there were still 35 games to play for when Cocu left and so the minimum expectation for any manager with that amount of time was avoid relegation. If Rooney fails to do that then make no mistake he will have a had significant role in our relegation and his job would be completely untenable.

I honestly do not believe that and I thinking suggesting as much is hyperbole and lets off the management lightly. This squad has enough in it for a midtable championship finish and a good manager would have guided us to at least a lower-mid table finish. Afterall we finished 10th last season with almost the same squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't saying "go get him" just thought it was another interesting choice seeing as we like Ex Pros with little experience. At least this one actually gets his team's to attack ? Also it's an interesting interview from the point of view of how players are treated now. The Managers had had to admit that they don't have the power they once had. Henry pretty much says the players have the power now and you have to put your own ego aside and even praise players when they don't deserve it. I imagine that philosophy is very unpopular on here as most of us us working class mortals do not have the luxury of special treatment by our managers and still being paid a month what most of us earn a year. If you performed like many of the players we have had over the past few years we wouldnt have a job. It's hard for most fans to relate to that situation and it causes friction. Its just interesting to me that even a player of Henry's elite level has to go cap in hand to his players and convince them to play for him. Amazing how much the player/manager dynamic has changed lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be better now with loans but if there is a comparison with benches for the most part this season and last season it looks different.

We do very well against the top sides in this division so to say the players aren't good enough is wrong. Our problems are down to coaching and tactics.

Usually we have one or two playing badly most matches but this season every match it’s been maybe 4 or 5 or more. Maybe these players are the sort to thrive only when there is real quality around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
