Wilder had a fraction of Lamps' budget and Derby were light years behind Sufc.
The main reason being that CW knows how to manage players and get consistently good results.......and FL doesn't.

Good first season? Compare that to our Manager who got us promoted at the first attempt after the complete and utter mess that Stubbs and Jackett left behind.
FL didn't have any real turmoil to deal with and had a huge budget and yet Derby were never going to go up. No chance.

He's actually landed on his feet now because no one expects him to finish above City, Lpool, Manu and a few others so as long as they don't finish below say 7th then he will probably not receive too much criticism.

He may become good over time as Southgate has done but at the moment he's no more than a celebrity Manager
