View from Trentside press: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Derby-5-Nottingham-Forest-0-match-report/story-208 Decent enough report - but it's the 200-odd comments below the report that are worth spending ten minutes with! There is some Tree-baiting from a Rams' contingent, of course - but there is a growing groundswell of dissatisfaction from Tree-huggers about Wee Billy, his methods, excuses, paranoia, media bans, and negative behaviour; more than a few want him gone. Some F*rest idiots still refer to Steve Mac as a 'wally with a brolly'...they should look at his other achievements and Derby's renaissance. It's probably blind jealousy, anyway. It's robust stuff with a very negative opinion of Wee Billy from 'dyed-in-the-wool' Trees fans. Derby fans will recognise all the symptoms & signs of Davies' siege mentality, team collapse and see once more that his management 'methods' are coming apart at the seams. The owners have backed him massively - they have huge £££ debts. However, he has delivered a half-fit squad that are feeling the pace, despite high squad numbers; he has no Academy policy, some have the opinion that apparent nepotism is rife among the club's non-football staff, and to cap it all, there are dud muppets like 'Ned' Kelly as his brains trust. He'll walk soon enough with another big pay-off IMHO but for the time being, here's hoping he steers the Trees further up the same blind-alley mediocrity in which he left DCFC. We should bring in Agent Jewell next, to finish the job and send them back to where they belong - down in League One! | |
