Surprised Sharpie isn't waving a white flag or signalling for smoke to get pumped out of St Rupert's Tower

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

What is more straight forward than interviewing all the candidates and making a long thought out decision ?

I have never heard of a company doing interviews in two different cities, 200 miles apart, interviewing people like Dunc who we all know is not getting the job.
FARCE

For a job of this importance and stature, the short list is questionable. Not just who is on it but each brings a different level of experience, a different cultural and footballing background and it seems to me none truly fit the urgent requirements.

We have short term needs (win matches to stay up and make the most of the squad already in place as that is what they will be working with): mid term needs (identify and shift deadwood, replace with better and hungrier players, rebuild clubs internal and external relationships, help develop and implement football strategy) and longer term ambitions (compete regularly at the top level and win things as well play attractive and effective football).

The three being interviewed don't make me think they can do 2 and 3 at all and point 1 might make Lampard (always been at a successful environment including Derby who paid for theirs) and Pereira (will need time to integrate and time is not what we have) none starters for me.

I'd look at either Ferguson till season's end or someone like Nigel Pearson only till season's end. Use the time to interview longer term and a more diverse list of managers but who all have a consistent strategy.

I'd look at Potter, Steve Cooper, Rooney, Marco Rose, Diego Martinez and (I know) Xabi Alonso. All "technical coaches" who play progressive football. All would need a strong Director of Football and we should use this time to build this

Thanks for reading.

Nigel Pearson?

who is the hottie slipping the phone to Bill? doesnt he carry his own phone?
And it seems like sharpie is instructing Bill that he should put a bag over his head when going outside for the curry buffet so the press dont film him. Although Bill probably has no idea with the accent and seems to be more interested in TikTok

Maybe I should have phrased it differently: somebody who doesn't take [Poor language removed], can galvanise this group, is not in the picture for the full time job, knows the PL and is available. His name came to mind as a straw man.

That frightens me.

If Derby have got no money how can they afford to be paying Rooney's high salary anyway? Shouldn't they be begging Rooney to go to Everton so they save his wages and get some compo?

This is getting silly and in the meantime every other team in the PL is active in the transfer market getting stronger ?‍

The absolute arrogance of our owner and board holds no bounds.

I really think that they think we are 100% safe from relegation.
