The Return of CloughieYoung Nigel is now boss of Derby, replacing Paul Jewell who resigned over Christmas. So...another chapter in the turbulent history of Derby County begins.
Its going to an interesting few weeks - Man U in the semi-final of the Carling Cup, followed by Forest in the FA Cup - now managed by former Derby boss and former hero, Billy Davies
Will Nigel come anywhere close to emulating the success of his father? I very much doubt it. He's only ever managed a non-League team. But you never know. Maybe he's inherited his father's magic touch. Watch this space.

He is a brave man, as he will invariably be compared to his dad, who was the greatest manager football has ever seen.
I am not sure if he will do well, he has done ok at a non league side for a while, but the step up, and the pressure from the fans and media will be a test of his mettle.
I hope he does well, Derby could do with an injection of something special, but I fear the Derby managers job is something of a poisoned Chalice.
although we beat Manchester United!!
As long as Derby don't get relegated, stay solvent, win a few games and try to play attractive football, the fans will be happy. Think because he's 'one of us' fans will go weasy on him. We need a period of stability now.
