Not a surprise really

 

[TheChosenOne]

When I say "sack" - It was mutual - yeah right !

 

[Chris12345]

Seems bizarre!?!?!

I didn't think management was Derby's problem...?

 

[SpurSince57]

They're dropping like flies. Rafa and the Fat Controller next!

 

[SouthLondonSpur]

Exactly, its not the manager who was the problem.

Poor old Rams....

 

[PantherX]

The offers are coming in fast and furious for good old MJ.

Another case where the manager is punished for something that is out of his hands. Sunderland and Birmingham have thrown money at their managers to help them stay up whereas Derby are doing a Watford and refusing to spend anything.

Billy Davies has done a great job with little or no help from the board. Did anyone expect them to be only 4 points away from 17th at this stage of the season?

 

[Defsta]

It was a fucking time

 

[DHMadboy]

are we surprised there are no good british managers, they do amazingly well, get a team into the premiership and then are sacked and made to look like idiots just because of the gulf between the championship and premiership, they need to address this otherwise the premiership might as well move abroad, with all the foreigners it has :wink:

 

[The Apprentice]

So he gets them up on a shoe string, giving the club a much needed £40 million injection. Then they give him fuck all money to spend and sack him when the going gets though. Unbelievable.

Doesn't matter who they get in, because they are totally rubbish.

 

[BigRed]

The funny thing is if he hadn't gotten them promoted he'd probably still be in a job.

 

[thfcsuperyid]

rams are going down.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

rams are going down.

Defsta's pullin' on his glad rags :hump: :up:

 

[Defsta]

**** :lol:

 

[wizgell]

That's ridiculous, he got them up with a poor squad- Giles Barnes aside, and was expected to keep them up with almost exactly the same squad- Giles Barnes apart who has been injured all season it seems. And yet, somehow Billy Davies is to blame?

 

[don1]

he done a great job there getting them into the top flight but that is not a enough now a days for the likes of derby dont think it was his fault they just dont have to team.
its afunny old game!!!!!!!

 

[wizgell]

A ready made return for Steve McClaren at his old club?

 

[LSUY]

Derby are a mickey mouse outfit, just as well Walt Disney are apparently in takeover talks with the current Derby chairman.

If Disney do take the club over then Derby have to win the League Cup - a mickey mouse club winning a mickey mouse cup.

 

[Spursking]

It had to happen, but I cannot understand that they don't see that they have a bad team....?

When you are a Premier League Club, I thought you wanted to try to prove others wrong, when you are doomed down. At Derby it seems like they don't understand that they actually have an overall weak team for this level.

I know there are difficult to attract big name signings to a club like Derby, but it is possible to do some good buys from lower division Clubs abroad, and many would have liked to join.
