Head Honcho Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32878657 Thought he'd been sacked already???
Webbo Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Big pay out for MacLaren and then walk into the Newcastle job.
DarkTranquillity Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Nevermind, they can always bring back Nigel Clough.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 That's Derby back to lower mid-table, then.
Fox92 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Feel for him. Regardless of this season he made Derby into a good team again.
Yastafox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 I know they had a pretty awful run in the final stages of this season but to be fair he did change them into a competitive side almost overnight as soon as he took over. Some great attacking football last season and they were unlucky not to get promoted. There were many of us calling for NP's head after bad runs it look what happened when we stuck with him! Can see them falling back in to lower table mediocrity next season and McLaren moving on to better things.
Dan Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Is he? Would make sense. Plays a similar kind of game to McClaren and has done a better job at Brentford than McClaren did at Derby.
ScouseFox Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Isn't Paul Clement almost already confirmed? I thought Paul clement was lined up ? we're both #itk clearly
Matt Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 What is it with Derby? They shit on Clough not they've shit on McClaren, both did genuinely good job's imo, more fool them I say.
tom27111 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 What is it with Derby? They shit on Clough not they've shit on McClaren, both did genuinely good job's imo, more fool them I say. What is it with the myth that Clough did a good job at Derby? 2008–09 18th 2009–10 14th 2010–11 19th 2011–12 12th 2012–13 10th 2013–14 14th* That record looks pretty shit to me.

Fair enough, to me at the time he seemed to be doing a fair job and i'm just carrying on what I thought at the time. I think they were going through a struggling time weren't they and Clough stabilised them and in the latter years got them competiting towards a play off spot (12th, 10th and 14th - In the Championship can be not far off a play off spot) Just had a look infact. 2011-14; 12th - 11 points off play offs, not that close, but 'up there'. 2012-13: 10th - 7 points off. 2013-14: 14th - Infact you have got that wrong, they actually finished 3rd. So you may be wrong with the years before I have looked at but i'm not going to bother looking back. Albeit Clough got sacked during that season and McClaren came in - Perhaps thats where you are coming from with the 14th place position, is that where they were when he was sacked maybe? Personally I don't think Clough did that bad with Derby though.
Fox92 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 They were really struggling when Nigel Clough took over, yeah.

Webbo Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Ancelotti maybe! Sacked by Real West Ham are after him apparently.
Matt Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Just had a look Derby had just been relegated from the Premier League when Clough took over so not struggling exactly, but as we have seen with alot of teams relegated from the Premier League they struggle with life back in the Championship. Anyway, McClaren's been sacked!
Jon the Hat Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Ancelotti is taking a year off for back surgery. Benitez odds on to take over. Wow.
Fox92 Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Ancelotti maybe! Sacked by Real Obvious that would happen considering they didn't win the Champions League (or at least make the final).
Prawn Sandwich Fan Posted 25 May 2015 Posted 25 May 2015 Seems harsh on Steve. I dislike Derby even more now.
