I too doubted him, I thought Derby would go from bad to worse under him, but he's certainly proven me wrong when you look at how he's taken a team from the relegation zone and about 6 points from safety to one that looks like it'll comfortably stay in the league.Hasn't done too bad since he took over. A lot better than I thought he would. He always had game intelligence and was tactically astute on the pitch. Fergie would regularly play him out on the left away in Europe because he had the tactical nouse to carry off the role and later dropped into a midfield role. He may have a better football brain than you are giving him credit for

Jeezo! How long do we have to wait? That was 25 years ago man!In pretty much the same way Robson was given the job with us. Highly respected footballer within the game who it is hoped would have immediate success. In our case it did.
But whether it’s a long term success we can only wait.

A massive name who has achieved loads as a player, who could attract players to the club of the back of it and would hope to carry that success into management.
We were Bryan Robson's Foreign Legion. We played Ruud Gullits Cosmopolitan Chelsea in the cup final.Were we ever Bryan Robsons Middlesbrough, I honestly can't remember, or was football just different back then?
Yep I remember the foreign legion jibes, looking back now we were just trendsettersWe were Bryan Robson's Foreign Legion. We played Ruud Gullits Cosmopolitan Chelsea in the cup final.
That wasn’t my point.Were we ever Bryan Robsons Middlesbrough, I honestly can't remember, or was football just different back then?
Isn’t this what Derby are doing with Rooney? And previously with frankie lamps before he f££Jed off to chelseaGibson getting Robson was the building block. That was exciting and new back in the day
