Derby came out of the blocks and scored a couple early, then a player was sent off and the game became very end to end. Was the winner an own goal or a big deflection?

JBFC II Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 4 minutes ago, LoyalRed said: You make it sound like Paul must have had an illustrious managerial career at Preston when actually he was sacked within a year. Actual fact is Sean o'driscoll has a better CV than Paul Simpson We’re talking about an assistant coach, not a manager here. In that regard, his CV makes him out to be a very good fit. Preston is an interesting one, he took them to just outside the play offs despite being given no money to spend, then had to sell Nugent in the summer for 8 million. Despite bringing in nearly 10 million in transfer fees he was only able to reinvest 5 and their form plummeted afterwards. That was all 12 years ago anyway, why didn’t you focus more on his most recent job where he won the World Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 So a random person appears overnight on the forum, with a friend who's a former city player, and throws a random name into the mix, and we all believe it? Surely this poster would have reason to be on the forum previously? No offence to the OP, but I don't believe this for one second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 This seems to be a strange choice, if true. He’s had a a good time as England U20 manager but a patchy record as a manager before that. (SoD was England U19 manager for a while so perhaps we should bring him back). The only thing in his favour is he’s 5’ 7” tall so that provides some continuity that SL and MA like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Dean hasn’t been impressed with what he’s seen from Stanton’s team. Maybe there will be a shuffling of the Recruitment Analysts to do some of the Performance Analyst work, leaving someone like Simpson to be involved in recruitment too. All I know is that Simpson was a bloody good player, but importantly he’s coached the national age group, so must be able to coach. Name the other head-coaches in the Champ who’ve headed up an international age group team? Cooper Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper Frank If I recall correctly, he once scored a hat-trick against us in a high scoring match at Derby, if I have the right player. If he could teach our wingers to be as dangerous, he might do very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbie Posted August 9, 2020 Report Share Posted August 9, 2020 Seems a good option to me. He’s had great success managing very talented youngsters to become arguably the best team in the world. It seems clear that our plan is to give youth and the academy a real chance next season so why not go for the guy who has had massive success with that age group. Seems to make far more sense than Hughton imo. The only reason people won’t like it is because it’s not the ‘big name’ that, in their deluded minds, will bring guaranteed success and promotion.
