I wonder which club has been impressed by his ineptitude this time?

Maybe his continual employment highlights how unfit club owners are generally? Surely anyone sane / with a football brain wouldn't touch him with a barge pole?

I think he will actually have some sympathy from within the game. If social media is anything to go by A lot of Derby fans not happy with his sacking. Five months isn't much of a chance really.

 


the dignified don't even enter in the game

When he joined after 11 games, Derby were 19th.He had a terrific start winning 9 of his first 12 games and there was real expectancy that they would mount a promotion challenge.

However they have only won 2 of their last 10 games and only won 1 of their last 5 Home games and now sit in 10th place so their promotion hopes have faded.No idea what targets he was set when he joined Derby.They have had 4 managers in just over a year.

To be honest Derby should have stuck with him .. they were not going to get relegated ... ok so they were not going to get promoted but they are a mid table team
I would have seen it out with him as manager then see what happens at the start of next season.
I think they are going to be in trouble ..... they did not really give him much time and every team has a bad run ... look at us.

What is both amusing and a tad worrying is McClaren for all his faults is probably the most successful English Manager in the past 15 years or so. Last English manager to win silverware got Middlesbrough to a UEFA cup final

Speaking of 'Boro I can see McClaren moving back there in the summer.

If you are referring to silverware in this country, I think it was Harry Redknapp who was the last English manager to win a trophy when Portsmouth won the FA Cup in 2008.

Correct so Pardew lost his job.And he had time.

Its the way it is nowadays you have to pick up points week in week out or you will be sacked.

I think the fans and Board have higher expectations than that.In the last 3 seasons, Derby have finished 3rd, 8th and 5th so currently being 10th and on the back of a poor run was not in McClaren's favour.

I am just pondering as to who Derby have in mind to replace him. Pardew, Warburton ? Maybe someone completely different.
Also Norwich need to fill the managerial chair.
Maybe both clubs are competing for the same people.

Further to my post above, it has been reported that Pardew is not in the running for the Norwich job.

Understand Derby might appoint Rowett as manager.
I recall him playing for Derby back in the 90s I think.

Rowett would be mad to go there as the trigger happy chairman likes to micro manage the club and there are rumours that there was more than a bit of player power involved in McLaren's departure

You are referring to 'Mel Morris' who is Owner/Chairman.I've no idea as to his management style or whether any "Player power" was involved.
All I know is that since he became Owner/Chairman in Sep 2015 Derby have had 3 permanent managers in Clement,Pearson and McClaren and 2 caretakers in Powell and Wassall.

No doubt if Rowett is appointed he will have Summerfield as his assistant - they join clubs as a pair.

I thought the usual frason for sacking the Brolly Wally was that he was f****** s***.
