10:11 September, 27, 2006
Billy Davies has said that more patience needs to be shown by a section of the Pride Park faithful

The Scot took over in the summer after being lured away from Preston North End, who he had taken to the Championship play-offs in each of the past two seasons.

Derby are currently sitting in mid-table and Davies said: "We are still very early in our development, we are progressing slowly and it will take time but I am disappointed with the impatience here at times.

"You can understand the views of certain fans but the impatience at times is quite remarkable when you think what has been achieved at the club in recent months.

"There has been investment by the board and we are trying to develop the squad and change the mentality.

"You can see that is now happening by the spirit and courage the players are showing."

Re: He's started already

I actually think he's right. Derby will finish this year in a much better place, in terms of attitude and playing style, than where they started.

And before you all order me a taxi, I also think we will too. I think Billy's style of management was an absolute breath of fresh air after Browns and I also think that Simmos is likewise the next step forward after Stumpy's.

The problem stumpy faces is that he isn't at a club that has a track record of giving their manager the time to make things work. 'Bigger' club = bigger pressure for instant results. 😀

And Stump can't handle pressure soooooooooo with his gob running loose its just a matter of time till he alienates the fans and ultimately gets the chop !

He's also at a club who have spent 6 out of the past 7 seasons, in both the Prem and the Championship, in the bottom 6. The season we finished 4th was an aberration. What Billy has to realise is that people like Phil Brown, and the previous Board, took whatever patience we had left!

I don't like the fact that he makes it seem as if we're the only team that ever has to sign new players...

And why is the impatience "quite remarkable when you think what has been achieved at the club in recent months" - that was nothing to do with him, that was to do with local businessman sticking their hands in their pockets and getting us out of trouble. It's a results business Billy boy, do your talking on the pitch and we'll back you all the way :mawene:
 
Re: He's started already

But Londonram you will find that Stumpy is NEVER wrong ever.

He also cannot accept (because obviously he is never wrong) any criticism whatsoever.

Players, press, directors, club management, fans etc. can all make mistakes, but Stumpy, no never, no doubt about it.

Hmmm he fails to give due acknowledgement to the role of the board in the success (?) now where have I heard that before ? Call me cynical but could he be keeping his options open to blame them when it goes tits up ?

Yes London Ram but you must remember that you are privileged to have such an up and coming manager at your club. He is ambitious you know and is attending (bad) language night classes and has plans to manage Juventus and Real Madrid...(most probably at the same time).
 
Re: He's started already

If he was half the manager he thinks he is Madrid and Barca would be moving the earth to get him. He did a good job at Preston, and is now struggling at Derby, time will tell if he is any where near as good as he thinks he is, but I sincerely hope things go tits up for him there.
 
Re: He's started already

He does need to learn to be quiet... We're currently third in the attendance table, but haven't won at home yet. Billy - you do the maths and see if that's impatience 😱

Dont ask Billy to do the Maths. Give him a Play off Semi and 11 players and he'll come up with 4 strikers. 😀

BD doesn't know when to shut up, that was his problem at PNE. Before you know he'll be on Sky Sports News in his garden slating whoever dares to upset him next, whether that be fans, chairman or players.

Unprofessional is an complete understatement to describe him.

That would be a laugh. Billy whinging in his garden as the camera zooms in to Ned pushing the lawn mower.
 
Re: He's started already

Anybody else think Deadly's imposed gardening leave plan for Ned is starting to bear fruit?
 
Re: He's started already

Apart from the fact he is on full wages and you are paying 2 assistant managers?? Cut your nose off to spite your face springs to mind.

Taking a stand and making an example out of someone is perfectly fine with me.
 
Re: He's started already

Very familiar all this! One or two quite big jobs are available right now, has he grown too big for Derby already?
