For a club with such limited fund not a bad piece of business. Know defence wise still such issues but still. If makes a impact. Oh well.. Nothing we can do except see how well we can do with what we have.

That's it. We know we're going to slide as everyone strengthens. Be more pissed off if we actually had a window and wasted it and still ended up down the table. Long as not 9th or somewhere daft. Least top 6

Probably be doing that without the ban.. Living in hope and not much happening

Lovely bookies already have odds on him being sacked... Ready for this season now. Don't expect miracles but considering we finished 9th with a experienced manager.. Who knows what happen. Hopefully all good.

Welcome home! Just hope now he's given backing and time! They know he hasn't got much experience and the situation is slightly crazy so can't expect complete miracles. Hopefully this is the start of something amazing

This is why I'm thankful in a way for no window. Its been so painful.. So and so in talks.. Talks break down.. Someone gets it done quick. Oh look 2 weeks till window shuts oh woopsie!

That's the thing Derby need this sorted as well so they know where they stand and if need to make a new appointment.

Definitely. Just hope they can perform and don't get out under pressure. Not that there should be as can't really replace. Work with what we've got.

Oooo didn't realise Ferreria was! Knew Cudicini and Hilario still around..

Pretty much what they said on the radio. Bringing back all these players is lovely but they lack experience in their roles. Then again guess gotta get it somewhere.

Hurrah!!!! Just adds joy to our season lol. Do expect to be back on a Thursday night.. Or somehow win the whole thing lol.

That was cute aside from Piers Morgan being involved. Loved seeing Drogba and Co back at the Bridge. Duno who half the celebs were mind you

Just hope the board don't expect miracles and he is given time. Their appointment. They know the deal and what he's having to deal with. Don't think anyone could work miracles with the squad and they can't add to it and all. Tbh I think he'll be okay. Given the situation daft to have super high expectations and being who he is he'll have the fans backing. Looking forward to seeing him back and what he can do

10 in 16 years. Guess it's worked because we've kept winning.

I just hope we get past that pass pass pass pass back to the goalie crap we kept doing. Lucky we never did a England amount of times we did it.

Think the transfer ban definitely swayed things. What's the point being somewhere where you can't sign the players you need and are left with ones that need work. Maybe had we had the summer given he'd stayed but nahhh. Don't blame him. Not his fault and not whoever comes in but manager is the one having to deal

Probably end up playing Juventus just for the lols.. Some of his decions drove me mad but he achieved with us at least. And he left on good terms really. Didn't get shown the door. Doing what's right for him which is how he should be.

Whoever it is will be our 12th manager since Roman took over.

Well we've got no transfers to drag out so do this instead.

In fairness to them they were only wrong by 2 days. It was obvious he was going just a case of when. Turns out today.

Wow.. Worst kept secret! Thanks for the memories.. Short and sweet! Hope he does well. Does feel nice in a way we didn't fire him! Makes a change Including the 3 tempt managers this will be our 12th one since Roman took over.

Omg is he?!?! Who'd thought it...

Gutted didn't get tickets for today but going to be so good seeing him play back at the Bridge.

Well seeing as we have no transfer window and a signing to drag out for all of summer we instead have this I guess.

Thing is all these reports have had to have started somewhere otherwise they'd look a bit silly when it's a case of oh nope he's still manager. Probably a case of when now..
