Derby County had high hopes going into the season after finishing fourth the previous season, but manager George Burley, who had transformed Derby from relegation candidates into promotion hopefuls, quit in June following the sale of young midfielder Tom Huddlestone to Tottenham Hotspur, without Burley's knowledge nor consent.
His replacement, Phil Brown (in his first full-time managerial position) was unable to build on Burley's good work and their poor form dragged them into the relegation mire instead.
Westley marginally improved Derby's form and they managed to confirm their Championship survival with a few games of the season to spare.
Westley, however, was not offered the role of permanent manager; that went to former Preston North End boss Billy Davies.
