I'm not sure where it's gone wrong for Derby lately but they've become a real shit show. Contacts don't mean anything to their owners, that's why Richard Keogh successfully sued them for 2 million after they terminated his contact for refusing to take a paycut. Meanwhile the 2 younger players, that were actually drink driving and caused the accident that injured Keogh, went unpunished by the club. I wouldn't be surprised if they hire Barton or Giggs as their next managerI don't see how they can be valid contracts without an agreement on a specific consideration
Agreed. I don't know enough about what's going on but there is some speculation or at least some challenges that it's not "all" players but all non-contracted players (loan's, out or end of contract players). I guess it's a watching brief over the next few days to reveal what's going on.I don't see how they can be valid contracts without an agreement on a specific consideration
Grrr, damn you George Clooney and ill-gotten Dolce Gusto gains!It seems football clubs are becoming the latest must-have accessories for people who have too much money or need to clean up ill-gotten gains.
I think they'll struggle.So I think it's fair to say that Derby are pretty much relegated, they're 12 points from safety with only 5 games to play.
How does everyone think they'll fare in League One next season?
I personally think if Wayne Rooney stays as manager, they're able to get new owners, and without the burden of a points deduction (which I still think is a total BS rule for going into administration) they're shoe ins for promotion right back next season.
IMO he's done a great job with the mess that is Derby at the moment.
Lay off the sausages VinceLots of Spurs fans would like to see Rooney replace Conte when the time comes
