Derby Canary 3 Posted June 22, 2018 Oh for the days when we had a management team that always got their man. Nobody seems attracted by the smooth tongued Webber or the "ambitions" of our Club.....I wonder why. Do n''t they know that the upcoming season has been trailed as the one when our WIP will yield ultimate success? Not to worry no doubt Jordan Rhodes will pop along for an end of career earning fest!

norfolkngood 1,070 Posted June 22, 2018 You never know how serious we were about the players named in the media i am sure we have targets nobody knows about untill they arrive problem we have now most clubs in other leagues and top half of championship can offer more money wages wise i would say we are looking at getting the max wage down to around the 15 k a week area some championship teams pay 40k a week or more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted June 22, 2018 You can hardly be too surprised that someone from Germany might possibly prefer to play in the top league in their own country rather than upping sticks and moving abroad to play in the second tier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Shuck 182 Posted June 22, 2018 A management team that always got their man?Like Mr Chase and Dean Windass.Are we a "laughing stock" yet, Derby?The football world has got nothing else to do but laugh at the exploits of Norwich City according to you. What larks.Then again, your club wanted Ian Crook.But he saw the light, called off the deal and came back here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted June 23, 2018 Definitely weird - it doesn''t show our local journos to be particularly in the know that this apparent link was never mentioned before - that is if we were seriously in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,585 Posted June 23, 2018 Are you going to answer some of the serious questions?When did we have a management team that always got their man?Why would players choose playing in two of the biggest leagues in the world rather than the English second tier?If you could play for a local team in a large league or a team in a smaller league, in a different country, what would you choose?Is 28 years old the end age of a footballers career?

Lambert2. Good reason to build team from the English Lower Leagues (Do you need telling who did that?) There are various other examples with other Clubs too!3. Ditto4. In the case we are talking about yes. We are also hardly the Club that reinvigorates non performing strikers (1 goal every 5 games last three years). In fact just the opposite!5. On that subject I suspect those of our fans that were suggesting that we should accept (£3m+)offers for our own non performing ''striker'' are a little dumbfounded that other Clubs are not queuing up with offers!

Every player has his price but few players that the Lambert/Culverhouse team serious wanted went elsewhere for any other reason other than money.I believe that these two individuals complemented each other in the same way as Clough/Taylor. Individually they were just not the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
