Over a year now since Clement was sacked and going on six months since we saw the back of Pearson. All that's been heard from either since is a deafening silence which may say something about the terms of the termination or the characters involved.
Suddenly though something seems to have changed. McClaren isn't keeping so quiet and is speaking of the 'volatile environment' at Pride Park. He continues to be more openly critical of Mel Morris by suggesting...'I was the sixth manager in 18 months since Mel Morris has taken over the club', in a 'so what can you expect' kind of way. Unfortunately this statement makes about as much sense as his most recent post match press conferences. You were actually the third manager appointed since MM took over Steve...Clement, Pearson and yourself. Wassall was only ever appointed as a 'caretaker' and Chris Powell was again in charge for just one match as a 'stop gap'. Exaggeration never helped anyone's case Steve, so please move along and let the guy most of us wanted in the first place - sorry Rog - get on with things.
