The Story in 60 Seconds

Derby County manager John Eustace admitted his future is uncertain following a heavy 4-0 home defeat against Norwich City. The Rams sit 23rd in the Championship after winning only one of their opening 14 league fixtures this season. Speaking ahead of an upcoming clash against Bolton Wanderers at Pride Park, Eustace acknowledged that the recent results are unacceptable and noted that the club faces a decision regarding his position.

Writer Harry Mail argues that time is running out for Eustace and considers it unlikely that he will survive the latest loss. Derby are seven points adrift of safety, and Mail suggests out-of-work managers such as Rob Edwards, Sean Dyche, or Steven Gerrard could emerge as potential targets if the club opts to make a managerial change.
