    As a visitor today I couldn't believe how undemonstrative O'Driscoll was.
    You don't want a manager who's leaping all over the place but he was almost
    statuesque. Add in that in the whole game your team only committed 5 fouls
    and you must wonder where the passion is.

    Never liked Clough as a manager, ALWAYS thought his team were better than the opposition and moaned about how unfair it was when they got beaten.

    Unlike his father, no class...

    What has clough done at derby to think he will do anything different? Judging by his interviews, he's boring, his w/l ratio is poor for a big club

    Clough has hardly set the world alight at Derby, but results with him in charge couldn't be any worse under him that SOD

    Clough done **** all at derby for 4 years, Don't know why everyone is so surprised, They've been a mediocre average championship team in his whole reign, They obviously have the stability in that league and they now want to go that step forward, A new manager was the only way to do it as Clough never was the answer.

    Why would we want a manager who has just been sacked for underacheiving, I'll stick with SOD for a while yet.

    I sit about 7 rows in front of the Director's Box, so have a good view of the bench.

    Yes, it's true that SoD does not jump up and down and wave his arms about.

    On Saturday he was "at the 4th official" about the time wasting by the keeper (after half an hour) - he also gives instructions to the players in a calm way - they know and understand his message

    O'Driscoll
    Promotion for Bournemouth
    Football League Trophy for Doncaster
    Promotion for Doncaster
    All of it on limited budgets, punching above his club's weight.


    Clough
    Promotion for Burton Albion (from the Northern Premier League to the Conference)
    The last 4 years at a team who can get 25,000 through the door.


    As CV's go, I know which person I would rather employ

    If we sack SOD, you know he'll get another job, and it'll be at a Championship club. He's a sought-after manager.

    You also know that we'll struggle to get anyone good. SOD is by far the best manager we're going to get in this league.

    If I didn't support City I'd love to give you all your wishes and see SOD get sacked, only because the board will replace him with a yes man. I'd them laugh my tits off as City slide down into League 2.

    The anger should be directed at the board and the players, not at SOD. No other manager could do better with what we've got.

    Nothing like coasting on something you did SIX YEARS ago I suppose. Especially when you have achieved nothing but relegation since then!
