Exactly what I thought, late 30s, retired or obscure foreign team.
I just thought Prick but maybe that's just me?

On the plus side they have won the trophy for the highest Championship wage bill in the last decade

In fairness, for that to be a true representation of spend the chart needs to be prorated on the basis of all clubs having been in the division for a full decade.

Bristol City have spent a lot of money getting nowhere

JT very warm favourite for the gig now and rumoured to be taking Ashley Cole as his assistant, a tad surprising given how JT came out of the Anton Ferdinand documentary and essentially ruined his career but I guess can see why Rio referred to him as a choc ice now.

You're a parody character, we all get it - but that was a badly worded end to that incredibly long sentence.

Rooney would be a waste of space as a manager - end of - and Terry won't be much better.

I hope Terry gets the Derby job. I fancy Hughton and Pulis will pull Forest and Massive clear which will leave Derby with a mountain to climb.
Playing for a reasonable Derby side under Lampard is one thing, but are Chelsea kids really going to want to join Terry and Cashley on loan when they're rooted to the bottom of the table?? Much better to go on loan to Brentford, just down the road.

Unbeaten in 4 now for Wazza at Derby. Excellent point at Brentford last night, handled the racism at Millwall excellently at the weekend. Think his reputation and credentials for taking the job permanently are growing by the day.

I mentioned elsewhere that he's already hit mini legend status, probably overstated it a little but he's definitely at 'cult hero' already. His attitude is absolutely spot on and he's definitely a character we've been missing. Playing well also, it must be said. Apparently quite the leader in training as well, who'd know eh?

Another point and clean sheet for Wazza, unbeaten in 5 now since taking the helm. Great to see.

Further turmoil at Derby. Players turned up this morning and were handed contracts with no wages on, contracts need to be signed by midday tomorrow for them to be eligible to play their opener at Huddersfield on Saturday. What a sorry state of affairs, got to feel sorry for Wazza.
Huddersfield to win at 4/5 must represent some value but you just wouldn't write of Wazza and the Derby boys.

What a shambles that club has become.
Laughable, but a good friend is a Derby fan and makes me feel sorry for the real fans who see their once proud club in ruins.

I feel for Liam Rosenior, and hope he can find more stable employment elsewhere sooner rather than later.

It's incredible experience for him. And for Rooney. They're going to really need to get everything from every player to stand any chance of not being relegated at Christmas.

Surely Rooney and Rosenior will be signing as players !

Nor sure if they could afford Rooney…..!

Not seen such Bravery!
They will then count as eligible players which weakens Derby's position in the discussions with the EFL as to how many new players they can bring in despite the embargo. The same if any U21s play this weekend.
So they may sign as players.... but after transfer deadline day.
