Give credit where credit is due and criticise when I feel it is right. But Again Sport Republic take the cheap way. All the best Tonda Eckert. |  |

Seconded. He has more about him than Will Still. I sense that he is more intense, more serious, more determined and focused and he has done a good job. But it's another huge risk and with his lack of experience, things could end in tears. He has a contract for the rest of this season and next. That could be a mistake if we don't end this season in a good way. [Post edited 5 Dec 22:12]

However it wouldn’t surprise me if the players down tools having proven how bad Will Still was . What happens if we lose to Birmingham and WBA and all of a sudden on a losing run? |  |

I have a good feeling about Tonda despite his tender years. Will Still felt like an imposter, Eckert doesn't.. Tonda can get a tune out of a demoralised team, seems calm and considered. Best of luck to the young man. We just might have a nugget. |  |

In Clough's first season, the club finished one place lower than in the previous season, but he had started to lay the foundations for his future success by signing several new players, among them Roy McFarland, John O'Hare, John McGovern, Alan Hinton and Les Green. Of the inherited squad, 11 players departed and only four were retained: Kevin Hector, Alan Durban, Ron Webster and Colin Boulton. Clough also sacked the club secretary, the groundsman and the chief scout, along with two tea ladies he caught laughing after a Derby defeat. With the additional signings of Dave Mackay and Willie Carlin in 1968–69, Clough and Taylor's management led Derby to become champions of the Second Division, establishing the club record of 22 matches without defeat on the way and the team was promoted to the First Division for the 1969–70 season." I don't think he'd have made it past that first season here. Of course, a big difference nowadays, is the lack of control managers have over transfers. As for sacking the tea ladies for laughing, the only person we've ever had here who was that ruthless was Cortese. [Post edited 6 Dec 11:07]
