Different to having five managers in 2010 and 2011?

You little tinker, you know it is!

Blackwell - sacked (results)
Speed - flounced (a 'better' offer?)
Carver - temporary
Adams - sacked (results)
Wilson - lasted until 2013

None of the above could be accused of being down to 'player power' or over eager owner meddling.

If i was a League one manager, i would be jealous of where we are. FFS whats wrong with that.

If i had wanted to sign Samir and he went to a rival instead, i would be a bit pissed off as well.

He speaks very well regarding the job CW has done and what we have achieved without actually bending over and kissing our arse. What more do we want him to say?

He also said that his budget is more than adequate and didn't moan that we have so much money we couldn't fail.

I was impressed with that interview, seems to be a fan of most of our players including Bash who got one of the many name checks.
 
Very big test that Karl Robinson's undergoing - just the one win since the start of February, melt-down involving blaming his players, dropping his highly-prized kids who he's claimed were "the future"...

He's really out of his Franchise comfort zone now & the "new manager bounce" he enjoyed to start with at Charlton is over.

But, if he comes through it all, it'll be the making of him - there's a very decent manager in there, I still think.

Anyway. On Saturday, after witnessing his midfield getting played through & around, taken apart, & being reduced to crying for mummy, he'll be left wobbling his chins and saying...

I can assure you that where that fat gobby Scouse get is concerned, my nastiness is not just on the 'inner'. I'd also be quite happy to display it in the real non-virtual world.

He is like a fatter smugger version of Paul Jewelll (and he was cocky enough).

Blackwell wasn't down to owner meddling? You say Wilson was there until 2013 and even he didn't last two seasons.

I think there a quite a few parallels with Derby now and what were like five or six years ago. And we know how that worked out. I'm wondering if, well alright, hoping that Tunaman is the next to fall into the impatience trap and start firing managers when they don't immediately deliver.

I really don't know what people expect from Managers pre or post match (to be honest I have no idea why anyone CARES).

He says it like it is in there.
Tomorrow he will try every time wasting/strong arm/whatever tactic he can to come away with a result. Exactly as we would if we were visiting a better team than us.
Extraordinary thread.

I'm sure he'd smile and say cheese...

Do you mean Gary Rowett? He was doing really well at Brum before being unceremoniously sacked when the new owners came in; thought he was very unlucky to be honest and Derby may well benefit?

Did a great job at Burton before that too. Absolutely ridiculous from Birmingham to sack him.


I think Derby might finally be onto a winner with him but they’ll need to resist pulling the trigger too soon.
 
Lord Bos of Eckington. said:
IMO the Derby squad is just not good enough with well paid , good contract players just not doing the business .

Also the chairman a bit like McCabe has made some glaring managerial mistakes which has cost them big style both financially and league table position.

Players ruling the roost , clicks within the dressing room will bring Rowett down unless he can ship out the majority of the first team squad. . Some clubs cannot be turned around , like us , until Wilder came .

Rowett won't have the money or the clout and unfortunately will fall on his sword . The merry go round will start again.

Rowett is a good manager but has picked the wrong club.

Robinson will be out of work next season or well before like this season , if we hammer them Saturday.

With regards Wilder , if he had gone to Charlton , they would be top of the league not Sheffield United who would be fighting relegation.

I think the only way we’d be fighting relegation is if we had another Weiresque appointment. Even Adkins who most on here think was the devil incarnate had us in the top half and that was with the bloated, injured squad of last year. Barring an absolutely disastrous appointment, the ability to shed all that deadwood and bring new faces in should have seen some improvement on last season with us at least challenging for a playoff place. But I don’t think anyone could quite envisage just how much Wilder would improve us.

True but what are the odds that if we hadn't got CW the next appointment would have been disastrous? 50/50? I'm being generous.
 



I am certain that in Robinsons persuit to manage a 'big' city football club,we have been close to appointing him as manager at some time over the last few years.The fact that he wasn't does pose the question why,when you consider the dross we did end up and the fact that he did a decent job at MK,would he have been a better choice than Weir,Wilson,Clough and Adkins ?.....probably !!

Depends what you mean by disastrous. Even if we'd stuck with Adkins I don't think we'd have been threatened by relegation. Every chance we'd get another manager who failed but unlikely we'd get one like Weir again I reckon.
 
Sean Thornton said:
Cheeky twat.

I wanted Robinson when Clough and later Geese Nutjob Adkins was appointed.

None taken!

I though Clough and Adkins were by the far the best candidates available at those times.

Fat gobby Scouser burnt his bridges when he used us to get a better deal at MK. What goes around comes around....

Well the premise of your post that I was replying to was that Adkins had been sacked but we didn't appoint CW. And look at it this way, if a bloke who has won promotion four times could only manage a mid table finish what would Rob Page (for example) have done.
And Lord Bos said 'fighting relegation', not being relegated.

Although CW has made it look easy, the job he's done is immense. Possibly the best job a manager has done at United since I started going and that includes Porterfield, Bassett and Warnock. Assuming we do go up, of course.

Never convinced by Adkins appointment. Thought Clough was a reasonable appointment. Weir, what can I say. Adams and Speed were never going to work. Wilson, mmmm.

I shall clap Karl tomorrow.......

Fair points and Wilde has done an immense job but I still think any semi-competent manager should be able to keep us in the top half of this division. I imagine our budget is still in the top 2 or 3 and there was a relatively clean slate to work from. That's not an attempt to play down Wilder's achievements, just an acknowledgement that battling relegation would be an enormous underachievement for any manager appointed with the resources of this club.

Yes but we do have a record of managers underachieving with our budget.

These 'many' Unitedites wouldn't be related to Pinchy's 'many hoofers' would they? I don't know one person who wanted the gobby fat Scouse git.

I wanted him. I had £50 on him being next manager cos Strappy had said so. Before he changed his mind just ahead of Adkins press conference......

True but the norm is the uninspiring failure of Wilson, Clough, Adkins, Blackwell rather than the sporadic full on disasters like Robson and Weir.
Click to expand...
Well, we have improved from having uninspiring failure then full on disaster, Blackwell, Adams, Wilson, Morgan/Weir, to Clough, Adkins or Bad, Shit, Bad, Shit/Shit to Bad, Bad.

That's being flippant of course and slightly harsh on Clough and Adkins; whilst I'm not going to say either did a good job for us, I wouldn't call either bad managers, just not right for us. Perhaps breaking the cycle of average manager followed by total disaster manager has helped us this season.
