Well done King Ronnie

I don't think we should have sacked Ronnie either time. I'd love nothing more than to see him back managing us. Unfortunately, it will never happen.

Are you having a laugh fella?

Are you having a laugh fella?

Absolutely not joking at all. We should never have sacked him the first time. He had got us 2 promotions in a row, and then kept us in the second tier with the lowest budget for four years. He could have got us relegated in the first season at that level, or the fourth as it looked like we would be (and were eventually) or the 50th season and it would have made no difference - he should not have been sacked. For me, his playing career with us, and his two consecutive promotions against all the odds, should have left him with more than enough in the bank to avoid the sack if we were relegated. Disgraceful decision.

Then the second time. He just was not given long enough in the job. Fact. He had been building a squad, and he got us to the playoff final. He should have been given until the end of the next season at least as we could still have been promoted. Either way, I would have given him another couple of years to build as long as we were still up there challenging which we were.

As for now, we need someone to save us. Someone who the fans will get behind. Ronnie is the man.

As I said, it will never happen. But I'd love it if did, and if Derby can re-appoint McClaren after sacking him less than a year and half ago, anything can happen in football!
