mio Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 No manager in their right minds would want that job. The only money mad mercenary out their that’d take it would be Brendan rodgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I can’t get my head around the max johnston signing at derby? Absolutely bizarre, on paper they seem to be a car crash of a club.

Yep, most peculiar - from Champion's League to League One in a season. Hope he's got a relegation clause in his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always possible he's just discovered he doesn't enjoy living and playing abroad. If so, no point making himself miserable for another couple of years when he can make the same (or better) money closer to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it was mentioned above I do hope he’s got a relegation clause in his contract or he could be heading in the same direction as Turnbull.

Absolutely bizarre, on paper they seem to be a car crash of a club. The boy has been brilliant at sturm graz with a lot of teams watching him. Just screams of wrong move. He is leaving a Club that has crashed out of the Champions League and has had a slowish start to the League. And their usual rivals have strengthened. Austria is hardly a top European league either. Maybe SG were looking to cash in on Max and we also don't know if any of those Clubs reportedly watching him put in a meaningful offer. Did he have as many options as we think? I tend to think if he had had the option of Italy etc then that is where he would have gone. Was he missing family and friends? If he does well at Derby it could be a stepping stone to the Premier League which may be how he sees it. Whatever, he and his advisors have made good decisions career wise so far. Joining us at about age 12, moving on from us after a good half season despite then having to sit on the bench for a long spell. Bank balance boosted. Now with around 50 games for SG he is cashing in again. Still young so plenty of years to move up if he performs. There is a pattern there. In truth I am not so convinced by Max Johnstone as I am by the likes of Lennon Miller, or even Bowie at Hibs. Played very few games for us.....although he did well and earned lots of praise... after having done ok and no more whilst out on Loan. I wish him well but I think he still has a bit to prove. Cannot blame him for looking after the financial side at this stage in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the money he'll be getting he won't need to live in Derby itself. Plenty of nice spots in the Dales within a half hour drive, or Mickleover on the outskirts where some of the other players seem to live.

weeyin Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Talking about slowish stars to the league, Derby were 19th last season are sitting 20th this season with 2 losses and a draw. Johnston is a good player. If Derby County was the best option his agent could find for a move to England, he needs a new agent. As far as money goes, I hope he is on a good deal, but if the figures are to believed, he was on £7,900 a week in Austria, which would make him the 5th or 6th best paid player at Derby if they match it. Of course there are lots of good reasons to want to live and work closer to home, and it doesn't all need to be about the money. I just hope he gets game time.

MJC Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 That’s a good question and something we’ve been stung with in the past by having our managers working without a set out contract ie. Gannon, Craig Brown. I don’t think we need to worry about Rangers moving for JBA if/when Martin gets the boot but it’s something worth taking into consideration especially seeing as it was never made public (to my knowledge anyway) if or what contract our manager is on.

weeyin Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I wouldn't be surprised if Miller has to wait a few weeks before he gets game time. Takes a wee while to settle in to a new league with a new style, and he wasn't match fit when he signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Big solid looking side they have. Lennon isn’t a wee guy either but these guys are units. I’d imagine he’ll have to bide his time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
