 Billy Davies is excited by Derby's Premiership challenge |
Derby boss Billy Davies believes he will be the bookies' favourite for next season's Premiership sack race - but is determined to prove the doubters wrong. He said: "I'll start the season as the first manager being tipped for the sack. We'll be the first club tipped to be relegated.
"It doesn't worry me or change my philosophy. It is a great challenge. I'm not frightened, I'm excited."
Davies is also ready to open talks on a new deal at Pride Park.
The Scot admits his planning for the new season has already fallen behind.
He said: "We are already three weeks behind schedule because of the play-offs and that has put us on the back foot."
