Bizarre. This has all the hallmarks of player power. Derby's results were fantastic for three whole months, and every team in this division is going to have a wobble because the season is so long.

Maybe they have a centre back crisis?

Howe certainly wouldn't. Bournemouth's promotion season was his second season in the Championship with them and he had previously been in the Championship as Burnley's manager.

When we had our megablip, the one thing we didn't vary was our belief that Hughton is the right man for the job.
This does look very, very odd from Derby. Not so much that they've sacked Clement but they have gambled on an internal appointment. It doesn't fit with the £££ player approach.

Copied from a BTL comment on The Guardian's report.....
"Almost all signings have been questionable, but it's equally questionable as to how much of a say Clement's had on them. I really hope academy products such as Hendrick and Hughes don't end up out the door",
Made me think of Oscar and Sami - common denominator? Burke

I completely forgot about his time at Burnley. Good shout.

I'm not sure it has all the hallmarks of player power, but I agree, it is bizarre and there must be more to it than meets the eye. Player power is certainly one possible reason, no idea what manner of other reasons it could be - anyone's guess I suppose.
You could almost read that club statement as if he's been sacked for over achieving as they might go up at this rate when that's not what they want this season
Just seems weird all round. Derby fans must be scratching their heads on this one.
If they're sacked, they'll have their contracts paid up.......if it's 'mutual consent', probably means a financial compromise has been met and if they resign, probably get nothing.
Odd decision based on their season so far. Chairman appears to be a looney.

Derby are a laughing stock, their sense of entitlement is staggering.

Darren Wassell has a good rep as a coach and you would imagine the transition will be fairly seamless.
Interesting that since their bad run began a lot of people have been saying they were persisting with big money signings despite their form dipping. As soon as some of them were dropped to the bench in response Clements gets sacked.
Has to be issues with the relationship between board and manager. Can only say I hope they fail.

Clement made a shitload of changes Saturday. Their bench was Butterfield, Ince, Johnson, Blackman, Bent and Warnock plus a keeper. Of that lot you can bet cry baby Johnson and Ince, who seems to think he's God's Gift, wouldn't be pleased.
There's at least one idiot that doesn't apply to.

Derby are panicking.
Hull, Derby, Boro,,Wednesday, Burnley and us.
6 teams, three places. Some of those like Derby and Wednesday have spent big, and can't afford not to go up.

Could this be the move that gets them back on the winning ways. Teams generally tend to improve even if only short term under a new boss.
