Like sacking him.........

New structure set in place by Mel to give Rowett, the chance to restructure the squad and also make youth players play more of a pivotal role. Also Mel has set out a wage class for each individual earner for example: Bent who will be placed in the high earner class and Thorne who will be placed in the mid-earner class. This new structure will give Rowett a clear view of the structure of the team and see who he needs to get rid off and who not too in the summer.http://www.derbycountyblog.com/morri...-under-rowett/
If this is true Justice then I'm looking forward to it.
It was never going to work with the old set up of signing players on a whim, we've ended up with so much c*** on our books its hard to pick a starting 11.. if Mel goes forward with it and implements it I will have the utmost respect for him, give Rowett a proper bloody chance at actually taking the club forward.
I'm loving the loanees and younger players being a main focus, esp the younger players coming being given a proper chance. Get idiots that are only here for a pay packet out the sodding door, and give the younger lads a proper chance.
Nugent being signed in January was another fine bo**ock imo, another big earner with no actual ties to the club and here for a final big pay out before heading into the sun.
There's a lot of s*** to get out the door, and we might have to take losses on most of them, esp Blackman.... who is without doubt the biggest clown of the lot, and we paid 3m for the privilege of watching him fail to hit the barn door 10 times out of 10.
If you want to have a look at the signings made by Paul clement when at Derby
They all seem negative under acheivers,maybe the core of the problem stems from then, because since then we,ve gone from that fast flowing attacking football, to this sideways boring stuff we have today
Weimann - Never cut it hussle bustle, no skill
Pearce- slow, steady but boring, no pace
Carson - ok I suppose, but lacks quickness in thought
Shackell - slow boring ,no pace one footed
Baird - slow boring - no pace, finished at this level
Johnson - slows our play no skill or quickness of thought
Butterfield - really slows our play ,negative player
Camara - weak, no end product , not going to be a regular ever
Blackman - enough said conference player
Olsen - can't defend ,over rated weak player
Have i missed any ,
Disagree partly on Baird, he has been the most improved player this season and he has been the most standout player then most of these underperforming players this season. Last season he had hardly had any game time, due to his poor work ethic and the manager decided he wasn't good enough to be in the starting 11. This season he has really put the effort in and I have been impressed, with how far he has progressed from the season before. His Premier League experience is starting to show and why we brought him from WBA in the first place. Weimann is the same as Baird, he hardly had any game time and showed good work ethic in the play-offs against Hull before he picked up a naggering injury, due too not having enough play time. I was surprised Steve let him out on loan and so far he has been impressive for Wolves and they highly rate him.
Baird - Wisdom sorry chalk and cheese ,A wisdom player will give you strength, pace, power an ability to get forward and back
Your acceptance of Baird says it all about people's straw clutching of talent .Fulham saw he stifled their play that's why he didn't get a game there, steady but nothing more, won't progress the team to promotion
As for Weimann one good game, waste of money
Talking of the long term process and not just this season. Has Baird and Weimann shown enough to stay on for our plans towards promotion? The answer is..... No but it's down to Rowett, to decide who goes and who stays in the team and to see who he has in his plans going forward, as he see's how the players perform during the end of the seasons climax.
Wisdom had everything to be a potential natural leader and was strong in the air and was a shame we couldn't manage to keep hold of him, due to us unable to achieve promotion in the play-off final. But that was the price we had to pay for not crossing over the line.
