So, new managerial team, new start, time to start the bounce - the new managerial bounce.
As the soap opera, AKA Derbyenders/Derbydale/Derby Street/Derbyoaks (pick your own) we discover that Wayne Rooney has the added distraction of Coleen losing the first round of her legal battle with Rebekah over the outing of the latter on a WhatsApp account and incurring a legal bill of £22,000. That's what we're contributing to.
Big Phill has gone and 606ers are desperately casting around for new monikers - ViewFromRoseyRooney does not have the same ring.
I'm pretty ambivalent about the whole thing - seen it, done it, got the t shirt blah, blah and just want to see a determined display ..........with some away goals of course.
And I'm wondering how we'll react when Chris Martin scores the winner from a Weimann assist?
There seems to be concensus that a new system will be in place - morale seems pretty good and who knows this could be the start of a charge up the table???

Why is Ibe a terrible signing? Ok, he hasn't had a first team game, but he's had food poisoning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is 24, he was at Bournemouth last season, he has let himself get so unfit that he hasn't played for us yet since signing in September. He is supposed to be a professional footballer and doesn't bother to keep any sort of fitness. Scouse he hasn't had food poisoning since he signed, has he?
I'll eat my words if Ibe does well, him on one wing and TL on t'other fills me with dread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He played in an U23 match, scored a good goal and was withdrawn at HT.
He was due to play in two U23 matches but has been deemed unwell. Whether that's bout of flu, food poisoning, or something else we'll have to wait and see.
I take it he didn't play in the behind closed doors match with Bielik?

Get used to it Ang because from what I've been told, he's already signed.

Thought you meant Ballotelli for a second, " that's it, we're facked!!!!
I think it'll be after Wednesday we determine who the new manager will be. Sensible decisions would be Paul Cook, Swansea manager, the Serbian - ex Watford manager or unfortunately, Big Sam.
Slightly more cavalier, risky
Benitez
Ralf Rangnik
Eddie Howe
Down right ridiculous
Di Matteo
Atkins
Judas Mac
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Unusually, that puts me in the Cavalier camp

At least we won’t have to go and actually watch Sam’s football. I wonder what Ed and Eric will think?!
We should have gone for Smiler Howe.

Howe would be homesick after a week.

Id say his contract is just till the end of the season.
