Former Rams boss philosophical on axe
Billy Davies is looking to the future after his time as Derby County manager ended on Monday.
The former Preston boss left the Pride Park club following yet another weekend defeat - this time at home to Chelsea.
Despite guiding The Rams to promotion via the play-offs last term at the first time of asking, Davies' side have endured a miserable campaign, winning just one of their 14 Premier League games to date.
Begrudge
Davies had only just outlined which players he wanted to bring to the club in January, although the 43-year-old has not begrudged the club's decision for the pair to separate early.
"We've agreed mutually to part our ways," he told
Sky Sports News. "It's football. We know the situation.
"It's time to move on. This is not the time to discuss anymore. It's time to move onto something new.
"I don't know what there is for the future. I'll wait and see.
"At this point I'd like to thank very much the staff and players and the fans, who have been magnificent.
"Everyone's been a pleasure to work with and I've enjoyed the great times I've had at Derby."
Proud
Despite a relatively poor start to the season with Derby, Davies believes he can be proud of his work with the club.
"I'm very, very proud walking out of these gates with what's been achieved. I'm walking out with my head held high," he added.
"The one thing I can guarantee is that Billy Davies will bounce back and be a much better and stronger manager for this experience."
