Yes it is now official after the late strike against Birmingham City at the weekend, Gary Rowett is the best ever Derby County manager, after four games, ever !
Rowett has taken ten points out of a possible twelve since taking over from Steve McClaren and only a stoppage time equaliser on his very first game in charge against Nottingham Forest has stopped Rowett claiming all twelve points.
The impossible dream of reaching the Champinship play-offs were a very dim hope when Rowett took over the managers job and even now will take a monumental effort, not to mention a bit of luck for Derby to get the sixth spot in the league and a shot at the play-off's.
Rowett has said this week if Derby are to keep up the unbeaten run they will need to play better than they did at the weekend against Brum, but the record books show the new man in charge at Pride Park is the best we have ever had........... after four matches !
