Hanshithispantz Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Anyway I agree he isn't as bad as he looked. He was just completely out of his depth and in no way good enough to sort our threadbare squad out. That was obvious before he arrived. I did appreciate him trying to get us playing on the deck and out from the keeper, not so much the constant public hammerings. By the end he was starting to turn into Pardew/Carver.

afar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Got to give him credit for turning things around at Derby, weren't they below Villa when he took over ? Now firmly in the playoff hunt. To be perfectly honest though that squad is one of the stronger ones in this division and absolutely should be in the top 6. He's getting what should be expected from the group of players, which is a lot more than Pearson was able to do or what Di Mateo and now Bruce are doing at Villa. I'm so glad he's not our manager anymore though, but in a sense we should be thankful to him for being so bad Ashley finally woke up and employed a proper manager.

Stal Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I don't see the "nice guy" thing at all. He could have decided to come earlier but he wanted money from derby if they sacked him. He knew that he was coming in to be a patsy and still took the job. I never rated him personally and although I didn't hate him when he was safely at clubs that weren't ours but he came across as the epitome of disappointment. He knew he was out of his depth after a few months here but hung on so he could get compensation for being shite. Yes yes, would any of us do any different blah blah blah but it just highlights further his lack of honour. Everything was magnificent according to this clown, he grinned like a fool after heavy defeats and showed his lack of bottle to demand real reinforcements that we needed instead of accepting the six trillion attacking midfielders and playing them out of position. He claimed that he was somewhat of a Newcastle fan and wanted to manage us. But hung on to the point that even when a real manager took over we could not avoid relegation. He's not pardew levels of odious but he ranks above even allerdyce in my all time disliked managers of NUFC. Also, he looks and sounds like he smells of damp carpets that a tramp has weed on.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He can fuck off as well, but he is clearly doing a good job. Perhaps Derby is his club, I hope they get to the playoff final and fail, however. The cunt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He was just a nothing manager completely out of his depth. His level is this level, which is why he is doing well. Not particularly arsed by him, not overly excited to see him do well either - couldn't care less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I thought that they would at least wait until the end of the season before getting rid of him, I guess that's another canny pay off for failure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The bloke's rubbish, not sorry for him at all. The Derby chairman even managed to fit in that old 'he's a great coach' cliché whilst binning him again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I could tell that he didn't have long in his job on Friday after the Brighton game, his TV appearance seemed to be aimed at his bosses as he was virtually pleading for more time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Can they just not decide if he's a good manager or not? Seems like the club is a lot more to blame than he is on this occasion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
