to brighten up your day....some TWTD comments

Amazing how there are not demonstrations against Evans every game. It’s been downhill ever since he arrived. He will depart with a trail of destruction behind him

Don't forget Burley in the blame he was the one who took us from the top of the prem to relegation the following season. If Sheepshanks had grown a pair and sacked Burley at Christmas that season and replaced him with someone like fat Sam we would still be in the prem now.

We've dallied with mid-table obscurity for years now, with a glimpse of the play-offs every 5 years or so. I had hoped that Hurst would perform the same miracles that McCarthy did, albeit with a brighter brand of football. The players are worse, the football is worse and I think our time in this league is up. We've been treading water for the last three years, and MM had the ability to pull out players like Mings, Waghorn, Lawrence etc who were able to keep us competitive in a league where the big boys are spending silly money. To think that Hurst is on less than half MM's salary sums up how this club is run; why did Lampard choose Derby over us? Because they offered him a chance to go up with a competitive team. No doubt had we convinced Frank to join a few decent players may have been keen to join him here, as opposed to the supposed bright sparks from League 1. It's blatantly obvious that miracle seasons aside, the £6 million a year Evans puts into the club is simply not enough to have us challenging. We used to be a big club nationwide, now we aren't even a big club in the second tier. I hear all of you that say give the manager time, etc, and I really want to, but we can all see we are way off the pace in this league now, and that some of the signings, particularly up front have been dreadful. It was the right time to change the manager, but it's seeming that we picked a guy on the cheap (as usual) who is currently out of his depth. It'll be ok though, as Milne will tell us this weekend on the radio, as he's kept telling us for the last few seasons.
