....for a second time and after just 5 months in the job!

Surely they didn't expect him to be any better second time around.?

Perhaps third time lucky! (Whenever that is: after all, we're talking about Derby here!)

The guy is and always has been a joke, as are Derby.

He is a joke, but there's always a club ready to offer him a decent job. Don't get it.

They're certainly not a joke with their new appointment, I'd really like to have seen Gary Rowett at Portman Road and think he's a brilliant choice to replace McLaren.

I see Wigan have parted company with Warren Joyce today after just months in the job, must be peak season for Manager Sackings.

So you would be happy to see a manager here who by and large plays the same type of football as MM ?

I hope scum get McClaren or "Woy".....Rowett is off to Derby and Warburton ( my preference for MM) appears to be joining Forest.

Let's hope narwich c*ck it up for the umpteenth time in.their recruitment policy.

As for Evans........F ...off!

They've got a habit of getting nostalgic and going for one of the old boys .... Gunn. Adams.

Would love them to do that again ... it usually goes tits up. Or they get McClaren... would love to consolidate my dislike of that pillock by him going to Norwich.

Don't know what's worse, owners who can't decide who's best for their club and chop and change at alarming regularity : or those who allow whoever's doing a poor job of it to remain in position for far longer than they are deserving.

Got no animosity with McLaren or indeed Derby County but as before, discarding his services so soon after bringing him back, it's a questionable turn of event.

I wonder if they might go abroad fir one of these modern day coach approaches? But like you , feel they are very likely to c*ck it up yet again. They are clearly preparing fir a second season in the Championship.
