Eustace…he gone…*official*

[Blue blood]

I really don't get this whole it's only about money for Eustace line. It's like the last 13 months haven't happened, let alone the last 13 years...

He's taken one step back to (in his mind) take two steps forward there's no doubt about that.

The worry from our point of view is why he felt compelled to do that and whether we know how bad things REALLY are behind the scenes yet.

I think we can guess! It'll be easier to list whose staying after this season than who's going. 

And no money for transfers.

What manager worth his salt would choose this job?

The weak excuses don't wash, as they are a lie.

Derby do not have a better strategy, structure or longer term.vision at all.

There is nothing long term about Cambridge away.

He obviously doesn't think we are good enough to get in the play offs. Which is ideal motivation for our squad.

Put a sock in it! Seems like you're on a mission.

Well I have to admit, I took great pleasure in seeing derby get skelped and hurtling towards the trap door. 
I was a big get Eustace in when jdt went , I jumped to his defence when we weren’t winning at the start of his tenure, and I absolutely get that it’s a toxic environment to work in but……

he had a moral obligation to see out the season to the players and the fans and he has embarrassed us. No issue with him leaving in the summer , but now when it could potentially derail the whole season, I’m sorry but the meek excuses don’t wash. Let down so will take pleasure seeing derby drop

Moral obligation? Nonsense. Would Rovers have had a moral obligation to keep him on if we’d been bottom of the league?

He's fucked off cos the people running the club are useless. The end.

Agreed, people are convincing themselves that is the reason because they are angry.

The anger is understandable, but should be directed at the owners and the clowns running the show for them.

I think @RevidgeBlue made a great point, too, that it should have minds focussed on how bleak the outlook is when a manager is swapping a play off fight for a relegation struggle in the same division.

It’s surely unprecedented.

Do you think JE could just leave when he wanted to? It required someone to pay it and Derby were willing to do that. Not sure he’ll be on more money but he now has an income until summer 2028 regardless of what happens.

IF he stayed - would another club pay the fee required when so many more managers are potentially available during the summer as opposed to mid season? Not a chance he felt was worth taking despite a playoff chance at Rovers. That screams to me that he was absolutely desperate to leave - regardless of destination. His past at Derby was just window dressing 

It looks like he was desperate to leave since last summer.

Exactly right. It’s a transactional industry. Clubs show no loyalty to managers, so why should a manager return the favour?

[RoversClitheroe]

Don't know why, don't think Eustace is in the wrong for leaving, and the club have probably broken thousands of promises as they always do, and we're in a terrible state, 13 players leaving end of season, no contract renewal since December 2023, and we are a basket case.

But at the same time I want Derby relegated 😂

[aletheia]

It’s quite probable that JE knows Derby are very likely to be relegated and still took the job. And yet he would still rather be there than here. Tells you all you need to know about Rovers. Any other talk of morality, greed etc is at best redundant,perverse and naive and at worst a deliberate attempt to deflect attention from the real dire issues.

1-0 😊Appoint Lowe now 😉
