alternatives to clement

[AngryRam]

Old school maybe but what about Mick Macarthy.Guarantee to get us in play offs at least.He took a very limited Ipswich team (compared to our excellent squad) in to the play offs.I personally don't mind pragmatic football with a committed team that competes well and defends properly if it means winning games and getting promoted What do people think?

Dont agree on the MM point mate. I think he works better when there is little or no expectation... As soon as the pressure is on he tends to fold.

The thing is when you look at the other possibilities it does not fill you with hope does it... A certain amount of journeyman managers or sentimental choices.
Time to take a calculated risk...

Throwing a in for you...

Billy Davies?

The last manager to achieve success with Derby!

[tamworthram]

Would MaCarthy leave Wolves? Me personally still unsure, I'm still in holiday mode!!! I'm hoping that I'll wake up and and all will be ok!!:

Hey how about George Burley

Call me old fashioned but wouldn't Mccarthy have to be at wolves first before he could leave them? Sorry couldn't resist. 2 jokes mentioned on the betting sites: Billy Davies and Robbie Savage. Just proves they just picks out the air.

sounds just like Nigel doesn't it rats a failed manager.

[southernram22]

isn't McCarthy at Ipswich ?

[SlimyLimey]

Clement would be my choice with his pedigree & contacts. My only concern is that he may use Derby as a stepping stone to a bigger club.

[vanderlaans_header]

I tend to agree Limey, he (Clement) has tasted it with Real Madrid, so will probably not be looking at DCFC more than 2 or 3 seasons. Would that be enough to get us promoted and established in the PL ?? Perhaps not. However there seems to be a consensus among some posters that frequent managerial changes are good (ie Watford)

[vanderlaans_header]

If not clement then who else is in the hat? Dyche,warburton,laudrup? Any others to be thrown in the hat?

I really don't have a preference in terms of the realistic (bookies) suggestions. I was excited and positive when Clough first came to Derby and more so when McClaren was appointed.

I guess Clement will bed this week and I do wish him well. But I feel rather indifferent about it if I am honest.

if I wanted to watch rugby every week I'd go down to the Leicester tigers.

awful football. long ball. bullying side.

effective? yes. worth selling your footballing soul for? no chance.

alternatives to clement? warburton is the obvious choice. achieved miraculous things at Brentford. plays good football. no compensation. what's not to like?
