teddyb16 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 More a question or a "does anyone know". Mr Cocu lived not too far from me and I regularly sae him running round the village and also in our local Morrisons. I presumed he had gone back to Holland once his employment ended to be with his family but I have just seen him running passed my house again (hell of a pace too!). He was also in full DCFC training kit Anyone shed any light? Chanyoung Lee, TuffLuff, Derby4Me and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Gardening leave whilst we figure out a way to pay off his contract? I'm guessing he refused the magic beans we had offered him. RadioactiveWaste, jimtastic56 and 48 hours 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Just absolutely bloody loves the Rams, doesn't he? Why would anyone want to move back to Barcelona or Amsterdam after experiencing Derbyshire?

Ambitious Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'd see if he fancies another crack at it, Cocu II. FlyBritishMidland, Derby4Me, RiddingsRam and 10 others 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 He took into the ‘vision’ Mel had and bought into the club. Nice to see hes still here and doing well. I still believe he’d be the man to take us forward with a bit of backing GB SPORTS, MickD, RiddingsRam and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM1966 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I imagine he kept his Derby training kit, nobody else will wear it will they, he's just out for a run and why not wear it as he is not working for anyone else. I wouldn't read anything into it, maybe he has stayed as he is hoping for another job in the UK and its handy living here for meetings and interviews. I very much doubt he will be coming back to the club, unless he's a match day pundit. he's clearly a nice an honourable guy, but, never quite got to grips with the English game, its quicker and players press you much quicker, his style of football unfortunately did not suit our team of players. Its great to keep possession and play out from the back, but you have to have the players with the ability to do it. Individual errors cost us too many goals with this style of play, which I think ultimately effected confidence and cost him his job.

Dimmu Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 TBF, I do wear my old training kit as well when I'm jogging and sometimes that happens around the former workplace. I don't run fast though. The Scarlet Pimpernel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Given the pace he set his teams up to play at I guess he's doing it all at his own rhythm - expect him to finally get to leaving some time around 2024 Asanovic70, minesahartington, Dethorn and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should do one like those old episodes of Doctor Who where they got all the previous Doctors back to solve the problem. We could have Clement, Jewell, Billy, Nigel and maybe even Colin Addison and John Newman all bringing their collective experience together to get us moving in the right direction.

If only we could've done what he wanted at a suitable tempo we'd have been an ok team. But we couldn't. We could do what cocu wanted so slowly we just got pumped or a bit quicker to keep with the game but with no idea or direction. It's a shame, I liked him but it wasn't working.

Spot on here, we lost all our tempo setters who play one touch football and can get the ball to pacier players when they want ball. Cough Cough CHRIS MARTIN Cough Cough In all seriousness, it wasn’t just Martin, but over the last few seasons we’ve lost Bryson, Johnson, Keogh, Thorne, Huddlestone, (when he’s not trying to punt slow 30 yard Hollywood passes). They weren’t replaced basically and whilst we have decent youngsters in Sibley and Knight we have very few players who unlock their raw potential. Its maybe why the amortisation policy doesn’t work and why we are already being punished by doing it in the first place!
