Not looking good for Mr Derry

[tarquinbeech]

Cambridge Utd Chairman resigns and the new "consortium" give the dreaded "show of support" to Derry......."He will still be in charge until after Xmas".......not exactly a ringing endorsement there then!

I hope we take advantage by scoring a decent win, though I suspect many will feel some sympathy for our ex player and manager.....or maybe not

The bit that caught my eye was

"He is our head coach and will look after our team for a significant period in our season in the next eight days.

"Let me be really clear - I have met with Shaun Derry, I've asked him to make sure that over Christmas we perform to the best of our ability and play as attractive a brand of football as possible."

Not sure he can do that

Think Cambo have a few injuries as well.

It looks like it all came to a head after their latest home defeat......the Chairman resigned and Derry got the dreaded "show of support"......actually their season was looking pretty good up until 5 games ago

Yeah, pity for him.
As I said on the scores thread, a lot depends on whether the team wants to play for him. We'll find out today.

Looking at the quote again, it looks like they're setting a points total from the next 4 games, whilst demanding a style of play as well.

Notts A
Barnet H
Crewe H
Colchester A

Good luck to him!

Does he still have that sidekick?

Glad to see him get the round of applause before kick-off. Also noticed Pilks was on their bench too.

Being 3-0 up and the match ending 3-3 could well make it worse for Dezza. I'd take their No 9 and No 10 tho.

Out of curiousity, why? I caught the tail end of his playing days for us as I started going in about 97ish but we've had plenty of players that have played more than 80 games for us that I doubt would be welcomed back too well, is it purely because he came through our youth team? He should have had rotten food thrown at him for his time managing us imo.
