Not argued with any of those released tbh though rammy

Well no, but surely that decision should not have been made yet if this was happening. This should have happened weeks ago, if that was what the board wanted.

IMO it's the wrong call. Yes he's been infuriating with not putting the Newcastle speculation to bed, but up until the last 13 games where we were crippled with injuries, he had us playing fantastic football. I might be wrong, but I believe he still has the best winning ratio than any other Derby manager.

Hahaha

Cheeeeeeeer up Steve McClaren....

Mansfield_Ram · May 21, 2015

I agree to an extent rammy but his handling of the situation with Newcastle was ridiculous and as his employer it must have pissed the owners and Sam rush off!

EricSabin · May 21, 2015

Be very interesting to see how Paul Clement would do, had one hell of an apprenticeship so far!

DarkSithLord · May 21, 2015

Extremely risky Move from Derby IMO and one that could really backfire!

Super_horns · May 21, 2015

Wasn't Karanka at Madrid?

Maybe they are hoping for the same kind of impact...

GodsGift · May 21, 2015

It seems like a perfect time for Clement to move into management after a near-perfect tutelage with Ancelotti, and Derby feels like the ideal club to start with.

Almost sounds too good to be true...

Rammy · May 21, 2015

It's certainly a massive risk, and like I say not one I agree on. But...Sam Rush has done nothing wrong so far!

On another note...

What the hell is this?!?

Take Warburton, give us Clement, win win for everyone...

You're appointing someone called Paco, aren't you?

Luke_1884 · May 21, 2015

Still Derby County head coach as it stands.

Probably won't be this time tomorrow. Clement would be a very good choice.

Rammy · May 22, 2015

Seems he was asked to resign, which he refused according to the Mail. Wants to go with compensation.

He's signing a new deal at his current club.

Layer Cake · May 22, 2015

Theirs so much more to this, surely the board wouldn't let him release players knowing they are going to get rid of him anyway? As much as I want him to stay for football reasons alone, he has done himself no favours at all since Christmas, without doubt he was leaving his options open by not committing earlier, but I think somethings happened this week for all this to happen now.

ChelloRam · May 22, 2015

Newcastle want him, Derby don't .
Derby will NOT pay compensation for McClaren to drive up the A1 and sign on for Newcastle the next day.

Lot of discussions around this happening at the moment. He's engineered this himself (with his Agent of course), and he's trying to get us to sack him, so he pockets his compo, Newcastle will NOT pay any compensation to Derby either - this is the reason why he is still at the club, otherwise he would HAVE gone last night.

Rammy · May 22, 2015

BREAKING NEWS: Clement signs!

Rammy · May 24, 2015

The Mirror saying that despite a 250k pay cut, Clement will be the highest paid manager in the Championship.

This just sounds more and more risky every day.

Mr Elmo · May 25, 2015

From what's being said, he's gone tonight. It's just a case of if we sack him or he resigns. He wants compensation, but we're telling him no because he never ruled out the Newcastle job, being one of the main factors towards our collapse. I can't blame our board, and they also have more power than Mac so it's a case of seeing what happens, but I expect him to go with no compensation.

Mr Elmo · May 25, 2015

Gone.

Clough in at Derby YHIHF

Smally · May 25, 2015

Ancelotti's available

The return of Mini Clough

TheWednesday · May 25, 2015

McClaren still claiming it was the club ultimately making the decision and not him engineering a move to Newcastle, it's disappointing for Derby to lose him because of his name and ability to attract players, plus the fact he's on the whole done a very good job. Next appointment is so important, can't see Sam Allardyce dropping back into the Championship, maybe Mark Warburton would suit this current crop of players better.

Mansfield_Ram · May 25, 2015

Clement nailed on for the position.

Mr Elmo · May 25, 2015

It's pretty much guaranteed to be Paul Clement, it's been said for weeks that it has been him probably coming in, although I wouldn't mind either of the two you mentioned for sure.

TheWednesday · May 25, 2015

Clement has never managed before has he? Why does everyone seem to think he's the next best thing?

He has never managed, but he won't technically be the manager, he'll be the head coach. We have no idea if he is the next best thing or not - Certainly hope he is

It's been reported many times though that he will take over recently, so that's what everyone assumes.
