They're not much different to our opening stats in League One (P12 W9 D0 L3) and we won the league.

Exactly. Rosenior’s record in League One is slightly worse than McCann’s for us in League One. Would you be happy if we reappointed McCann?

Rosenior’s just not experienced enough or done enough in his short managerial career to warrant being considered for a Championship club as of yet.
 
He is 38 years old with minimal experience
No thanks

im assuming the news is fake anyways or a misunderstanding. There were also rumours that beri pardo was going to be the manager and now hes dawsons assistant. Probably the same for roseiner

Daws will more likely be rosies assistant if it happens, but my Derby supporting mate thinks they should have been kept on. Him leaving hasn't improved them but he did leave because he wanted to be a manager not a coach.

Personally (and I know the question wasn't for me ;o) , I would rather have McCann than Rosenior not because of anything against the latter, but McCann is actually a good manager, whereas Rosie is unproven. But I'd much prefer no change for the time being.

TWT. I'd reserve judgment until I'd seen us play for a couple games and what Daws has to say before dismissing it as a 'terrible decision'. The people making decisions at the club are better placed to do so being closer to the situation than any fan. I'm sure if Dawson really wanted it then he'd be making his case and it would surely be the cheapest option so I doubt they've just chucked his application (if he made one) in the bin.
The people making the decisions at the club might be better placed to make decisions, but judging by their last appointment (Arveladze) they don't necessarily know what they're doing.
 
It seems quite obvious to me the tactical nuance hasn't come from Dawson but more the highly qualified analyst from a European Giant. He comes in the team changes and we start picking up points. Bari x Daws x Rosey could work as Dawson has the belief flowing whilst the other two come across as the football brains.
I am always a sucker for the next Rooney or other wonder kid (think a pining for our young American lad-see how long that lasted forgot his name already) and in a similar vein to have the next version of Klopp or Pep drop out from the skies to deliver us into the promised land. And Beri Pardo for me has that allure and all the attributes-a mysterious sounding name,young, driven by data-well for some of us statistics, who spends all waking hours watching reruns of matches devising complicated algorithms to fine tune City’s tactical approach for the next game. Alas like Vaughn Covil and my other dreams I suspect they will be dashed.

Complete bag of ****, rot like no other car in history
An Alfa not Nixon obvs lol
Well a 65 Ford Anglia would give it a run for the money. Bought an 8 month old one at the end of 65 rusted out on me I less than 18 months and within five years had changed out sometimes more than once every part in the bl.,.. thing

By that logic then Sir Adam Pearson didn't either for appointing Molby, Parkinson and Dowie.

There were both bad appointments, yes. But that's in hindsight. With foresight, there is no point to my mind appointing Rosie when Daws and team are doing a great job. Leave them to it. And if Daws doesn't want to do it, persuade him to, because he's obviously good at it.
 
So significantly better than Rosenior in similarly circumstances - ie managing a team recently-relegated from the Championship.

It wasn't similar circumstances though.

Derby lost all their best players from last season and Rosenior brought in 14.

We got relegated to L1 with a spine of top end of L1 players and just had to strengthen

Not sure football management is something you can just 'persuade' someone to do. It's a pretty unstable, high pressure existence.

The key thing with Dawson is to keep him as a coach, he's reluctant to step up full time so appointing Rosenior and keeping our backroom team in place makes sense, more sense than bringing in a completely new team from elsewhere and starting again.
 
Daws as first team coach/assistant and Rosenior as manager makes sense.

I would be happy with that as long as didn’t cause a rift
If Rosy come in they will have obviously spoken about it then wether it's Dawson/ Rosenior or vice versa then as long as they are happy with the situation that's all that counts. It's a team which is the most important thing.

I'd not heard that?
 
Until there's something concrete then it's all speculation. You'd think there would need to be a compelling reason not to give it to Daws if he can get something at the weekend and he does want it.

so if we lose to blackburn
dawsons out
win and hes in?
not very plan orientated is it

dawson or rosenior do not have experience that as an outsider one can look and perceive their style of play, successes etc etc
so it's difficult to determine how succesful they may be

but people on the inside, like players, staff, owners, surely should have ideas of how they operate

so make a damn decision innit
