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