None of the above.
This would be better if you did it at the start of the season,then lets say half way through the season and then at the end of the season,you'd then get a good gauge of how people feel about the manager(on here anyway).So i think it would be a good idea to start this at the end of the season,on a clean slate so to speak and you'd then get a more accurate answer,instead of the skewed ones you'd get now after the signings we've just made and propably more to come in.Seen similar around the net for managers so I thought I would give it a whirl on here. Made a Grade 7 balls up so if you want number 7 then post it as a post. (Schoolboy error).

I think Brayford will solve the manager's natural conservatism by pushing the whole team forward positively
why go to Columbia or Botswana when there are decent players on your doorstep.

What has happened this last week should've taken place at the start of the season and someone is at fault. I appreciate players may not have been available back then, but I'm inclined to think that perhaps they were, but we wouldn't loosen the purse strings. I haven't forgot what the Barnsley MD (whoever) publically announcing that we couldn't afford COG and apparently this is the 5th bid to land Brayford, Sometimes I get the impression we dilly dally too much
Whether responsibility lies with the board or Cloughy remains to be seen, but we find ourselves almost certainly out of the running for a top 2 place
Here's to sustained push to make the play-offs

It's not the first time I've seen that kind of quote about his brother.
Just for the record Woodward, would that be the same brother that scouted then signed Bryson (300k), Martin (FREE), Russell (650k), Forsyth (150k), Grant (FREE), Buxton (FREE), Ward (300k), Keogh (1m), Brayford (400k), Coutts (150k), Eustace (FREE).
That's 11 players for less than 3m quid. Chris Martin on his own is worth that now. 9 of them still first team regulars for a promotion chasing Derby, the other two back here at the Lane.
I don't think his brother is too shabby at all when it comes to signings, geographically restricted or not.
The Milkman?why go to Columbia or Botswana when there are decent players on your doorstep.
Ditto. Av a likey.Lets not even think about changing a manager for at least a couple of years. we are a long term project for Clough and we all agreed there would be difficult results now and again until the job is complete. The foundations are in and the brickwork is starting to appear and with some new nice additions there is light at the end of this long dark tunnel. That's enough from cliché hell ,just get behind the fucking manager and the team and lets all pull together.
My main concern is his brother - the world is wider than the Peak district and the lower reaches of Scotland.
I think Brayford will solve the manager's natural conservatism by pushing the whole team forward positively. He will also lift the mood in the dressing room and on the terraces. Has to be captain before long.
I suspect we will be playing 2 up front a lot from now on.
Remember were Mr Clough goes Mr Clough brother goes with him. They are a partnership and duo , which works.
Both are part of the SUFC dynasty .
Chuckle Brothers are down at the New York Stadium not BDTBL.

That may be true but it also might be the reason that Derby did not have confidence in the pair of them taking their club to the next level.
Derby held their own under Clough but did not " kick on". Apart from the cups, which should not be ignored of course, the same could be happening to us in the league and it has come as a shock.
The new expenditure is welcome but it might paper over some cracks for a while. Let's hope Simon comes up with some great finds and I don't mean the Brayfords and O'Gradys of this world, a muppet could line those signings up. I mean The ex-Derby old boys source will dry up before long and Simon will have to look beyond Derby and Ilkeston. He's done a bit in Scotland and at Blackpool FC, but there is little evidence his railway rover ticket covers other areas!! Big question mark there for me.

The answer to much of what's written there is best captured in the use of the word may in the very first line. In short, there's no more insight than the accusations being pointed at Clough and his brother. All supposition and possibilities, not an ounce of fact, just opinion laid on top of opinion. There's little evidence of you understanding what actually goes on. Be patient and let those in office do what they're paid to do.

Of course, but this is a forum for opinion and debate and facts in the game form a fraction of the interest no matter who you are. Very few on here have inside knowledge and, even if they did, who's to say that would be fact? and not opinion!!
However it is a fact that Derby sacked Clough and that many Derby fans recently repeated jokes about Simon Clough's range of vision and operation when we returned for two more Derby lads this week and signed a further Derby old boy a couple of days after. It is also a fact that over 90% of our signings are from Derby, Derby old boys, Ilkeston nr Derby, Scotland lower reaches and Blackpool. All facts; now what else did I say?
This whole thread is about opinion surely. I just happen to have quoted loads of facts.
