Rowett Needs Time To Build Derby

[Oldtimeram]

So he sits just after Jimmy Methven and George Jobey as the third longest serving Derby County manager. Interesting

This thread does highlight the fundamental problem with this poster. if he just copies and pastes with no credit to the original author that is wrong. If he just posts a link and no comment, that is essentially spam; if he adds his own comment together with the link he inevitably misunderstands the content and adds inaccurate tripe of his own - eg the Rowett 3rd longest manager, but also the strange phrase "under the helm".

Therefore he is in between a rock and a hard place - simply copy and stand accused by us of plagiarism or add his own opinion and thus misinterpret what is being said in the linked article. We should be sympathetic to his plight .....

TECHNICAL NOTE

A person in charge of a ship might be said to be "at the helm" but being "under the helm" would be a breech of IMO MSC/Circ.982 which included the Guidelines on Ergonomic Criteria for Bridge Equipment and Layout. Furthermore SOLAS V regulation 22 that governs navigation bridge visibility would be significantly compromised by being underneath the ship's wheel. Some of the more modern containerships do have flexible bridges which can be moved when navigating in tight spaces, but even then the captain would never find himself under the helm with its attendant visibility problems.
