    Dodgy knee, so he'd fit in well. Christie's replacement?

    Doesn't matter who we get in, they'll still have to manage the same over-hyped players.

    If we had stuck with Clough and given him quarter the money ........

    All our best and consistent players are still who he brought in. Oh in hindsight .... or not for some of us

    'All our best and consistent players are still who he brought in'...really...like who? I think Keogh fits into that category but struggle to think of anyone else. Bryson has has about two decent games in the last two and a half years and seems to have a major fitness problem. Russell still flatters to deceive and Christie still struggles to live up to his undoubted potential. No other regulars left are there?
    So that's Keogh then...oh and Hughes, but then you don't rate him.

    Ah the great Nostradamus arises once more to demonstrate his unique skills in foretelling the future!

    Who pray are these best and more consistent players HE brought in?

    A quarter of the money spent? Mm we cetainly wouldn't have spent the last three seasons in or aroud the play offs with Clough in charge, we'd ahve been mid table as we were for those tedious 4 plus years he was in charge.

    Lets face it, IF he was as good as you say then he'd be managing Sheff Utd in the top half of the championship surely?

    Your missing the point - Ratty said that the best and more consistent players at the club NOW were those that Clough brought in which clearly isn't the case.

    Grant has left the club and Carson is better.
    Brayford left under Clough, failed at Cardiff, now at Burton
    Forsyth - yes good but injured more than he plays!
    Keogh - good, though has question marks
    Shackell - Clough got rid, came back after Clough
    Barker not here
    Buxton - average not at the club
    Hendrick - academy player not a Clough acquisition
    Bryson - good in parts
    Russell - good but not consistent
    Ward - not at the club ****e and always injured
    Martin - yep good
    Eustace - FFS!!!

    He isn't at Sheffield Utd, so clearly the club didn't think he was what they wanted and Blades fans tell the same old tale, tedious football and achieving very little - as for whose to say to say if he was still there....pointless argument as he isn't and whose to say Phil brown or darren wassall or Clement would not have got us promoted if left in charge?

    I can see your a Clough Jnr fan, fair enough, but I remember those 41/2 years of tedium and the complete change around that McClaren with basically the same players, a breath of fresh air.

    I enjoyed three seasons of being in with a chance of promotion until the end of the season yes, I didn't enjoy mid table obscurity for seasons.

    As for the £40 plus million spent - don't disagree, the recruitment policy seems crazy to me, can't see any plan and its not got us very far, but then its the owners money, would Clough with those resources have done better? Not on the evidence of the tactics he employed whilst manager at Derby - so yes we haven't progressed very far, but we are in a better place and enjoying better football than we ever did under mr average negative nigel.

    If we had....we would probably be mid table either way but playing before crowds of 12,000 bored fans.

    I think Nigel exemplifies the Peter Principle rather well - percussive sublimation at its best.

    12.000 gates were at the baseball ground before Clough,me thinks you got the wrong one, pride park is where Nigel managed,
    Not the ipro, remember when the club was in turmoil,and money was tight and success was staying in the Championship.
    With team building the key,Remember the playoffs,And Maclaren inheriting a first class squad his words,not mine.
    Finished 12th n 10th,4 seasons ago ,Hendrick n Martin fetching 13 milllion in 2016 And after he was sacked Derby County was sold for a big profit to the American owners,A good job done
