Seems a little more relevant to focus on Mac's superior coaching credentials, managerial experience, and achievements with Man Utd, Boro and Twente.
Forest is a joke club and Wolfsburg a misjudgement - doesn't make Steve M a dud or a dunce. I think even Trees fans will secretly be more worried about a Derby challenge than they were with Clough in situ.
So much wrist-slashing over Clough's departure... fact - on results, it's unsurprising, even if the timing was harsh.
However, think on this: what if we'd lost to Ipswich and Leeds, then had to brood on five home defeats during the two-week international break, to wonder what Nigel might do about it all when we resume and go to Watford to try and get back on track?
How long would people like Derby to piddle around in the mid-lower part of the table?
We can save the 'board out' knee-jerking for a while, I'd say, to see how Mac gets the squad to respond and observe the loan/transfer policy over the next 4 months.
There was no storming of the barricades on Tuesday night, was there - despite the online sobbing and hand-wringing? People at the game wanted a fresh start, by and large.
Sorry Nigel, it's time to give the club a future, not merely an existence (but Mr Rush has to deliver on his promises, of course!!) |  |
