Derby sack their manager

[bog]

Bit of a farce if you ask me...but you probably wont.

Is it because they couldn't even beat us!

[Fulham76]

Surely a fall out with the board!?!? Every team hits poor form at some stage during the season & yet they're still 5th & only 5 points from top spot.
Seems very strange to be sacked for that performance.

Problem is they imploded last season when going well and it looks as if they are close to doing the same this season. Plus the money they have spent as everybody kept mentioning. Look at the players they had on their bench against us.

I don't follow other teams progress but was amazed that Ince was on the bench, he used to be a great player.

Sorry if someone's already said this, but was it just a coincidence that Moyes was at the Cottage to see the game?

Surprised me as well. He would be the perfect sort of player to absolutely terrorise our defence.

So we are the new management yardstick, if you can't beat Fulham at CC you are out. Steve Bruce must be a very relieved man.

apparently the average time a manage ris in a job with a championship manager these days is 1 year 4 months, he didnt even get that long

and the players that fail to do their jobs are kept on.

Lol. Never not funny. It's becoming quite regular now the way coaches get sacked after playing us.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is because lots of teams see us as an easy 3 points.
Obviously they have massive expectations at Derby. McClown was sacked due to dropping the ball two years running. They are very desperate to succeed.
It does make me laugh but it is upsetting that we appear to others as a soft touch for 3 points in this division.
Hopefully Joka will turn this around

Harsh?

Three year contract, payoff after seven months work.  The world can be a far harsher place than this.

Hear, hear.  We mortals on normal salaries ...alright, pensions in my case..."feel the pain" of these spoilt darlings in this rather protected sport/business a little too much. Noblesse oblige means they take the inflated salaries and must then expect the boot at any time for any reason...and sometimes for no reason at all..
