Nigel Clough sacked at Derby

[Leekbrookgull]

Can't see Sheffield United and NC together,but what if he was manager at The Meadow and took them up and Billy did not take Forest up,that could be interesting.

There was a poo found in the changing room.

Derby have been a solid champ side for many seasons now and are probably at the right level.

I think their fans and board have higher aspirations than that.

Dougie lives to fight another day , had Bolton not equalised late on against Yeovil he would have been odds on for the bullet.

A point at home against probably the weakest side in the division when they had a good home record last season surely can't save him.

Quite

Surely they're going to have to start improving the squad beyond promising youth players & average SPL recruits if any manager is going to have a chance of taking them to the next level? (As commendable as the focus on youth has been, in recent years)

Shame I like Nigel Clough. Thought his team was advancing a little bit each year and continued that this season. Impatient owners again.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Have they actually spent any money? I am shocked at this sacking. Silk purse and sow's ear spring to mind

His record is P233 W78 D54 L101, so a win rate of 33.4%.

He's spent £3.95m on disclosed fees in 5 seasons.

They can hardly expect to be challenging in the Championship then, can they?

Maybe, maybe not.

Transfer fees don't take in to account signing on fees, wages and what-have-you. It is easy to become obsessed by transfer fees, but they can be dwarfed by the money invested in a player. We've picked up some expensive players on a free contract - Bruno, Tomasz, Bridcutt, Upson and so on.

Gulp.....surely not.

Darby are a club that consistently make mid table, and the manager isn't the thing restricting them progressing. Shocking sacking if I'm honest.

This is a sad story. Clough sacked at Derby after 4 and a half years. Forest fans will love this, another kick in the teeth for Derby. They'll always wonder what Clough might have done with the £7m or £8m from selling Will Hughes.

The bottom line is they've got no money until they sell Hughes.

Clough has done a blinding job and the majority of Derby fans are disgusted with his sacking. It's been a sad day all round. The board are to blame and the Yanks who own them. You would not find anyone more dedicated to Derby than Nigel, the lowest paid and longest serving manager in the championship. History repeating itself again with the Clough family. It's the board who needed sacking. The budget he has had to work with has been next to nothing and reduced each year.

If you appoint a Clough at Derby you don't sack him now, for this.

If we are to believe the financial results from last year then the owners put in 5 million last year of their money to cover the money we lost. This gas been going on for years. Now we can say that running the club is costing too much money but how can they not be investing when they are covering out losses ear after year?

He wouldn't have been given the money from Hughes that would have lined the Yanks pockets. As for the red dogs just get 3 points next weekend from them, they got lucky for today
