He’s doing alright so far and Derby fans are really happy with him.
How is he doing?
Yeah interestingly he’s galvanised their defence, and really brought the team together so he must be half decent with coaching and man management.
Last three games he's Lost 1-0 to Rotherham, 2-0 to Chorley, 1-0 Sheff Wednesday
To be fair, that’s not how we remembered. Ever since he reach near to his 30, especially his last 2 season with us, so often he has been a liability and I still remember everyone wants him out. And there he began his sharp decline. But prior to that, especially during Fergie era, he has been amazing.
The fact he was playing at the same time as Messi and Ronaldo means expecting him to be THE best is perhaps a bit unfair, but I do think that not being #3 behind them was a bit of an underachievement.
Incredible. Wonder if he managed to get the ball off the ref?! He tries to get it at the end but the ref goes 'No, it's for me'.
Not his first points, he’s been manager for a while.Finished one nil so first points on the board for Wazza
He wasn’t manager for the Chorley game; the whole squad and management team were in quarantine and the youth team and manager took the game. Not sure if they were impacted in the other two.
Since perma-appointment.
This to an extent. Really want them to do well now.

Came here to post this. Absolutely love it from the legend!
Care to elaborate?
So they’re meant to be taken over by the Man City owners cousins but this was meant to happen two months ago. There’s now talk that it might be a sham and the guys actually taking over aren’t so rich and don’t have links to the city owners. They aren’t even allowed to do transfers at the minute because they’re not paying the players. You’d assume they’d want it done ASAP to strengthen the squad before deadline.
Jesus, hadn’t heard. Seems a right circus to start your managerial career at - fair play for grabbing the opportunity though!
Yeah its quite surprising he’s taken it. Unless he truly believed the takeover was happening. Their squad isn’t particularly great either. Basically kids and some journeymen. In the bottom three too, he’s deffo taken a big risk so yeah fair play.
hadn’t heard this either. Is this another Portsmouth situation? I remember Erickson and Campbell were sucked into that.
You mean Notts County but yeah Campbell and Erickson were the two in that case and they sound very similar to Derby's.
that’s the one. Campbell played for Portsmouth, probably why I got that wrong.
I didnt even know of that story till you just mentioned it. Sounds like a character. Bought Carlisle and then a few years later decided to manage them himself
brilliant.Shame, would've like to have seen who he'd have installed as the KITT man.
I’m obviously showing my age! I know it’s 30 years ago now, but he could have bought the club for about £20m!I didnt even know of that story till you just mentioned it. Sounds like a character. Bought Carlisle and then a few years later decided to manage them himself
Imagine him getting to that level to ever manage Manchester United, he would probably deck Klopp if he's still around.
