Nigel Clough to Derby

[thepeoplesgame]

Oh right attendances alone. On that basis newcastle are bigger than liverpool. But thats a different argument completely.

Derby county will be playing in league one next season

If Anfield was bigger, Liverpool would get bigger crowds.

I wasn't just talking about attendances anyway (impressive though Derby's support is). If you can point out to me the last time Portsmouth or Blackburn put four past Real Madrid in a European Cup semi-final I'll concede the argument.

I think he will prove to be an excellent appointment. Loyal, successful, local and - despite his and his dad's connections with the other lot - a born-and-raised Derby fan. If the club show him the commitment that he will undoubtedly show them, he will get them moving in the right direction.

And Bedford, I'm afraid you're talking bollocks. I'm not saying they can win the Premier League, but Derby County are as big a club as (or bigger than): Blackburn, Fulham, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Wigan, Bolton, West Ham...

Derby "were" a bigger club, not any more. If they get the right investment (which is hardly likely at the moment) then it could happen, they could maybe finish 11th/12th for a few years then come back down, i can't see it happening though.

Saying that, i'd love to be proved wrong.

Really? Dunno why but I hate Derby.

 I've never minded them too much, and liked the way their fans could still be seen in Bay City Rollers type clothing with scarves tied around their wrists well into the early 80's.

 Rod Thomas used to have his 75 championship winning medal on display at his pub The Foston's Ash...probably the last player to leave the Town and go on to win the League/Prem.

It probably has something to do with me and a couple of mates getting jumped there a few years back.
