Post by: mugnapper on February 07, 2025, 05:23:33 pm: I wonder if they'll go for Rosenior as he was there previously and we'll thought of. (And importantly for Derby, he'll be cheap as he's out of work).
EDIT: I take it back. He's manager of Strasbourg in France. P23 W8 D7 L8.

Richie would be a good fit at Derby! McCann would be terrible there!

Nah Orient were in the bottom 6 earlier this season -- and went quite a few games without a win - they didn't quite make the bottom four , as i expected --just remembered they couldn't score a goal for toffee -- then Mr. Money (the owner) at Orient started signing players at regular intervals to get him out the $hite

Derby will be a yo yo club

Mark Hughes pipped Steven Gerard to the job at Carlisle but wouldn't Gerard be a sensible option ?

Today, they're willing to pay £500-700k to get John Eustace from Blackburn apparently.

Post by: sedwardsdrfc on February 09, 2025, 09:20:12 pm: I remember hearing the name at one point. We weren’t exactly backing anyone to do the job at the time if we’re honest (Blunt and all) so probably did his career some good to miss out on the opportunity. Schofield probably wishes he had although he never helped himself
