Only two managers in my time watching Derby who created good teams from magic beans. Anyone heard of Bisgaard, Idiakez and Rasiak before they got here. Rooney could do with some off their contacts. The scouting element is crucial at this point and an experienced scout / ex manager with good contacts could be Derbys best signing. It was Simon Hunt responsible for the foreign gems during Burley's reign. He lived in Sweden I recall following a professional career over there, knew the European market extremely well. Edit - article from back in the day on him. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/dominant-derby-continue-to-impress-8mrmsvccvr5 2nd edit - currently sporting director at Wolves, joined from Forest having been head of scouting. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/county-wolves-premier-league-job-4223730 Edited May 23, 2022 by Ram@Lincoln Added article Gee SCREAMER !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK47 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I'm well out the loop with lower league football so I'll use the best of my knowledge I'd start with Akinfenwa and Lee Trundle. ? TomG and MackworthRamIsGod 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was decent but he couldn't wait to get shot so something happened. I'd still class Barker as a typical Clough signing. Good attitude but not good enough for a higher level.

Which was odd after a good season with us. There were rumours at the time involving another player. But yes maybe Clough discovering Keogh softened the blow and allowed everyone to move on.

The mystery was why on earth we re-signed Shackell later for 3x what we sold him for when he was already 31.

The previous summer we spent 2 months chasing him and put in 3 bids . Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 I know people will moan about signing ex players , but surely getting Wisdom back on a free would be a decent bit of business? especially at the level we're currently at.

Definitely not. He was one of the worst CBs in the air during the 20/21 season. I can only imagine how bad he'd do in L1, especially after a year without football. metalsheep02 and RoyMac5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If two clubs, one without a pot to piss in who would be relegated without points deductions said no, probably best looking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its back up for davies and cashin. He was always a brill RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
