He's got to Go

[ramspride]

The Wally with the Brolly is clueless.

I'll pack his brolly!!

[DCFCArmy]

Who do we bring in to replace him ?

This was from a Leicester fan "I don't even judge a manager that's been at Derby"..

He's right .. Pearson will end up at Norwich or somewhere else and do well, Clough has done great at Burton, Clement is gonna keep Swansea up.

We need to face facts, we've become a laughing stock.

Steve said 'there was 11 men on the pitch' !! You forgot to mention the other lot!! You know the money grabbing arseholes to whom the term 'playing for the shirt' means **** all!! Just piss off all of you......and take Steve with you!!

[ramspride]

So the Wally says in his after match interview Brighton were far better than us. It just shows how far we need to go in the Championship. For gods sake McClaren we have players in the team with probably better skills than Brighton but there's no enthusiasm, team plan, fight. Mel if you ever wonder what's wrong at Derby watch the Wally on sky laughing and joking with the Brighton manager when we are loosing 2-0 and the lost morons on the pitch are wandering about. If the manager? is showing no fight the team hasn't got a chance.

So you would have been more impressed by McClaren if he had chinned Hughton?

These performances have been seen with McClaren, Clement, Pearson and Wassall, with the players meekly giving up. I know who I blame.

[macstheman]

I presume Hughton said to Steve are'nt your lot ****?? Yep said Steve but I get paid more than you so boo to you as Steve turns away laughing!!!

Actually, maybe not so much with Wassall. He inherited problems that, with the benefit of hindsight possibly weren't as great as we - and the owner - thought but, Hull at home apart, the players showed more fight under Wassall than either Pearson or the last three months under McClaren.
My issue with McClaren is that we are seeing a rerun of 2015 only this time it's been even worse. He may be a good coach - although I'm beginning to wonder - but he's lousy at man management and tactics. Admittedly the Martin situation wasn't of his making but his handling of the situation has been embarrassing and completely lacking in integrity. Can't imagine how he thinks our available forwards are likely to feel if all he bangs on about is wanting the one he can't have back. Embarrassing for the club and demoralising for the available players.
Assuming you mean you 'blame' the players, sixties, that's fair enough but a manager who apparently can't motivate or choose appropriate formations and strategies needs to go. Bad appointment that for six or seven weeks looked like a stroke of forgiving genius but, like so many of Mel and Derby's dreams, has now turned to dust...again!

P.S. Welcome back RP.

I don't recall many gutless performances under Clement, yes a lot of the time it wasn't inspiring to watch, but the team did not look clueless and was solid, sacking a manager that got you to 5th in the league because he wasn't playing the "Derby way" has ended in this farce! A sensible owner (sorry Mel but either you or your advisors are clearly clue less when it comes to football) would ahve stuck with the guy until the end of the season and taken stock - or perhaps it was for other reasons Clement was sacked, such as he didn't like the owner interfering in football matters?

Anag you are right, Wassall's reign is looking better these days, though he inherited Clements team and the odd calamity occurred under his tenure.

Since then basically its been piss poor with millions pissed away.

Is it the players, in some part, but players can only do what they are told by coaches, it seems to me that the club's management structure is fundamentally wrong.

Now is the time for the owner to take a step back, get advice from people who know football and review the manager arrangements - if Mac is still here after the end of the season then I won't be watching Derby, because at the moment I can see no plan beyond throw wads of cash at it..its criminal because we should be in the top 6, but hey ho maybe get Wagner from Huddersfield? We can surely afford better wages for him?

Agree mate. Mac has his faults, but there's one constant over these past few years and it's not the managers. These players have it all too easy, every time they **** up its the manager that gets the chop, there's no responsibility taken by those wearing the shirt.
