I cannot think who it was. Mile Sterjovski was also signed in "that" season, though IIRC, Feilhaber was bought by Davies at the start of the season was he not? Of the others you mention, Mears was part of the promotion season, so would have been bought by Davies. Including loans, think Jewell also bought in Ruben Zadkovich, Paul Connolly, Nacer Barazite and James Tomkins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Had time for Robbie Savage (tried if nothing else), Rob Hulse, Paul Green, Darren Powell and Kris Commos (although it took Nigel to get the best out of him). Steve Davies had some good days. Particularly disliked Carroll and Dickenson. The current bunch are far from being the best Derby side I've known but seem a good bunch of lads who I desperately hope will prove the doubters wrong. Think it'll b a hell of a bumpy ride but hoping the fans will really get behind them this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That season was horrible. Worse than the Docherty period for me. But the worst moment ever was reading that Mel had signed a contract to sell to Alonso.

We weren't going to go down, the club was healthy if run a bit lean off the pitch and we were gradually making progress on the pitch (albeit very slowly).

Hated Savage, hated every second of his time at Derby. I'm sure there were bigger cheats in the game, but yes that was a very depressing time. Could not bring myself to cheer anything about him.

Jase116 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I think off the field I only remember 84 being worse, coming back from the home Plymouth match wondering if that’s the last time I’d see the rams play, as for now whatever happens the off field things need sorting, so at least we can get some players in and not to worry about anymore embargo’s etc. As things on the pitch,I think we are underwhelmed, but sometimes things turn out better than you think, yes we could end up with a mixture of kids and experienced pros that other clubs don’t deem good enough, but for me it’s like resetting something, wages etc will have come down massively and contracts will be short term, so no long term responsibilities, but the main thing now is hopefully a takeover goes through sometime soon and we can get back to being on an even keel.

Connolly was the one i missed and Zadkovic. That makes 22 Permanent signings. Tomkins was a loan, but think Barazite was a Clough signing. He took and pissed a pen v Forest in that Atwell game i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half of his Rams career he was utter shambles but the part of me that likes a redemption story appreciates the last chapter under Clough jr when he becomes one of the most committed players and a consistent performer. The time when he came on the pitch with his dad was a nice moment. Over 90% of his career I hated the twit but somehow the last bit sticks with me as the most human part and I like him a little for that bit.

ramit Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 i am used to humiliation and seeming endless suffering, so for me, it is what it is, until it becomes something else.

Not only brought in many very poor players but a lot seemed to be pretty obnoxious characters. Can’t think of any other time where I really struggled to name any players I actually liked. At lest that doesn’t apply today. My time of that is now, like CKR, that's about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I said a few times to my radio "I give up" trying to listen whilst he was at Derby in the relegation season and ever since, and when he's on TV I either put him on mute or change channel. Limahl out of Kajagoogoo plays better football than he ever did, and sings better than his football punditry. Unfortunately for us all, Robbie is not too shy, but I reckon her in the dickie bow tie, could also do a better job, and clearly isn't as depressing as Robbie Savage!

jono Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 No ! 3 Amigos was far and away worse. Those in charge were the dregs. Hated that time, more than any other. seeing us lose week in week out in the prem was like a long drawn out torture. Bad, but nothing like the Amigos.
