I have no idea what Derby fans were saying about Brian at that time since I wasn't alive, but I have so far seen nothing from Rooney that suggests to me he will be a good manager. Perhaps fans said the same things about Brian back then and I'm happy to be proven wrong with Rooney, but personally I can't see him achieving anything with us. As someone who had a season ticket during Brian Clough's first season I could see that he was building something special and at no time did I feel despondent. It was so special to be a Derby fan in those days. IslandExile, CROSSWORD, GenBr and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 4 hours ago, Leeds Ram said: Ferguson had been very successful prior to Man United, it's absolutely no comparison. A bad choice for showing that some managers need time to settle and build their own team, and that pulling the trigger early could be a bad decision?

DesertRam Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 We are going to be safe on Saturday, and I think Rooney will be given the chance to bring in his own players by the new owner - don't see any other alternative. if we lose, things may be different!

MrPlinkett Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't think today Jim Smith would have made Christmas in his first season, very poor form and no sign of improvement until magically Igor signed and it turned around. Today we wouldn't have been able to sign him in the November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a long time until Saturday and then, whichever way it goes, people may not be in the right state of mind for a rational debate. You may be a little bit previous but youve got over thirty likes which must be some sort of a record I reckon! IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the feeling is strong. We're all Derby fans - whoever we blame for the current predicament, and let's face it, there are a lot of factors at play. But this has been one of the most frustrating seasons that I can remember and I go back to '68. So, I've endured some pretty bad times. I just hope the future is a lot better than the present. That we can all start enjoying the football again, whatever division we're in, whoever the owner and manager might be. We just want entertaining football that provides us with a respite from the toils of our daily grind. COYR ? give us something to cheer.

IslandExile Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Paul Jewell took over from wee Billy Davies during the "worst" Premier League season. He was given the chance to rebuild in the Championship the following season. 'nuff sed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason we are laughing at your post is that Ferguson was no rookie at that time, he was an experienced Manager who had won European competitions at Aberdeen, so comparing him with the novice who has only managed 30 games or so is a tad silly don’t you think ?
