I'm not signed up to it but the headline is interviews being conducted in London
-
Kevin MacDonald as coach.
-
Nixon saying Richie Wellens has joined the short list
-
Curious as to why we refuse to name Derby? Can slightly understand it with the first statement if there is some confidentiality clause in contracts, but given he's gone, are they just being spiteful by not naming them?
-
Criticism of Gally is fully understandable but not hard working? Surely not. He ran himself into the ground, he just wasn't a good goal scorer.
-
That was a well needed reminder that for all the sh!t which can be going on at manager, board and owner level, the lads who pull on the shirt can still make the biggest difference. And for some stick aimed at Lowe earlier in the day - the guy has a 100% win rate, I believe?! Good on him and the staff who took the team. Can't have been an easy couple of days.

You say that but look what had happened to performances without Travis and Tronstad. Brittain is in the running for player of the season, JRC barely looks to be in any sort of running when he's at right back. Whether or not Eustace would want them at Derby is another matter.
-
Someone on Facebook has challenged me on the investment stance. Says we have spent £5m due to the wages of the players we have brought in and that until we sold Wharton and Szmods, we were strictly limited to paying £10k a week. Tried to highlight Gally, Trav, Szmods, Kaminski were likely on more than that, but this is how some fans view the club. Bring in £35m+ in fees, and this is the best we should expect to go out.
-
Can be interpreted different ways. They support the club's perspective, or they like that Eustace is getting out as they know it's a shit show
-
Correct. It'd be like saying Burnley didn't invest as they signed Shelvey on a free transfer after he was released from one of the smaller Turkish clubs.
-
Trying to be fair, I don't think you can use one transfer to make the point, not when we signed 6. However, I certainly don't agree it significant investment. If so, I'd love to know how the club describes £35m in transfer sales over 8 months.
-
I'm not annoyed with Eustace. If the LT article is accurate, he asked for commitment from the club and got nothing. Even if not on a new contract for himself, nothing for investment - new players, contract extensions. As has been highlighted here, it's a rebuild this summer and practically a new team in 18 months - and that's likely with very little money to be spent. A thankless task ahead.
-
It tells a lot but not everything. His family are apparently still in the Midlands so he spends a lot of time away from them. He also has an affinity for the club having spent a few seasons there, where he was seemingly well regarded by the fans.
-
Imagine so. But he could receive a signing on fee from Derby which coincidentally covers this.
