The situations are different. Warburton is being replaced (whether he likes it or not) and hasn't decided to cash in elsewhere, while it looks increasingly like McClaren chose to leave a while ago and take a nice salary regardless of what happened the rest of the season. What message does that send to your players?
If he does leave, like most Derby fans are now expecting, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there's been a lot of unrest behind the scenes since Jan/feb time.
The interviews with Keogh and Martin after the match pretty much alluded to the fact that there's been some things wrong with squad harmony for a while but they weren't about to mention it on live TV.
Either way, we fucked up big time and deserve what we've got. I just hope we can get it sorted in time for the start of next season.

I just don't get how some players go out of their way to find reasons not to succeed. This is football. They are going to spend their entire careers at clubs with managers coming and going for a variety of reasons as well as players. They all know the score when it comes to loyalty etc. To let this effect your mentality to achieve success is unforgivable weakness on those wages. Brolly would have sat those lads down and told them he was going at the end of the season and they will have wished him luck and agreed to win the league for all their sakes. Like I said I can't really believe this as an excuse I just think it was good old fashioned bed wetting

Are Derby fans really blaming the manager for this fall from grace? What kind of players let their heads go because their manager is leaving? Brentford certainly don't. Terrible bed wetting.
