I wonder when he will be back again.

I wonder when he will be back again.

I wonder when he will be back again.

I wonder when he will be back again.

I wonder when he will be back again.

Not that old chestnut again ?
33 appearances - he only has to complete another 30 minutes and we have to buy him an LP. 

A mate of mine lived on the same street as him and reckoned that this lad dobbed him in to the council over leaving his bins out.
He was wrong though - it turned out that the grass wasn't Greener

Did they travel down in an electric car?

Time to ditch the horrible song about our leader . I think you all  no which one .replace it with he’s one of our own he deserves that the way he is conducting himself in these grim times

Here we are, administrators in, massive points deduction, an estimated £50m or whatever in debt, unable to pay wages. And then we read in the Teesside Gazette that Steve Gibson is suing Derby County. https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/middlesbrough-Derby-rooney-mel-morris-21660410
His gripe is that Mel sold the stadium to another of Mel's companies (accepted as OK by the League because not every club owns their stadium and you can't force a club to) and that Derby loaned Matt Clarke when Gibson wanted him to go to Middlesbrough.
Of course claims such as these are manifestly absurd and would normally be laughed out of court. But the problem is it's inconceivable that the Derby Administrators can also afford to pay lawyers to fight the Middlesboro Chairman. Equally, it's inconceivable that Derby could afford any additional fines the courts might impose.
The sole purpose of this can only be to ensure the end of Derby County as a football club. Nothing less. The entire football world including honest Middlesbrough fans should be outraged by this behaviour and condemn it in the strongest possible terms. The club can't afford to fight this, so it's up to us fans to shame Gibson into stopping this despicable course of action.

You've done it now, watch him quit tomorrow. 

Wayne Rooney doesnt need Derby County. He is still here because he is willing to get stuck in on our (the fans) behalf. 
Regardless of what happens on the pitch from here I've developed an immense amount of respect for him. Thank you, Wayne.

Can we get him to say “me duck”? ?

Top bloke....... Extract from BBC Sport
Derby County boss Wayne Rooney has reiterated he will not walk away despite the Championship club being placed in administration.
"I will fight for the club. I wouldn't leave the staff in the lurch. They need someone to lead them."
Rooney has been helping the club financially, buying equipment to film training sessions among other things.

I wanted to start this thread to formally apologise to Wayne Rooney. I have been one of those who has criticised Rooney heavily and wanted him gone before all this mess came out, mainly during the horrible winless run last season. I now hold my hands up and admit I was wrong and badly so. Over the past few months, and particularly so during the last week, I am increadibly proud to have this man as manager of DCFC, even more so after today's press conference and that the dire state of the club is now revealed to us all. I now honestly think there is no better man to lead us through these dire times brought on by the IDIOT Mel. 
Once again, my apologies to Wayne, and thank you for staying on during this mess. Thanks for your honesty towards the fans. Thanks for your commitment. You made me proud to be a DCFC fan today. 
 
If you were a Rooney "out-er" and now wish to atone for your sins, let it all out!
 
COYR!
 

Incredible leadership from Rooney. Couldn't have any more respect for the man, he doesn't have to put up with this poo but has because he cares. ducking fair play Wayne.

Rooney confirmed that he has been funding things from his own pocket. 
Heroic 

Just said on Radio Derby that Rooney had said he hadn’t spoken to Morris for SIX MONTHS!! 
 
 

The local S&M club shut down, supporting Derby was the next best thing. 

Just been re-reading this topic and I'm just astonished there are those still willing to either defend the bloke or offer up apologetics for him. All of the 'achievements' come to naught if there isn't a club at the end of it and that's exactly what could happen.  As a best case scenario he's loaded up the club with a mountain of debt that cannot be maintained, pretty much guaranteed our relegation to the third tier for only the third time in our history and has arguably irreparably damaged our reputation in the footballing community.

Mel was a custodian of the club and absolutely nothing more, his job was to ensure the survival, maintenance, and prosperity of the club and in that he's absolutely 100% failed. Instead of acting as a custodian, he increasingly acted like the club was his train set with lavish unsustainable spending and big name appointments. None of us knew the true financial state of the club only he and Mr Pearce did it seems, and an owners job is to know when to put the brakes on and when not to. The last thing an owner should do is gamble the future of an institution on the hope you'll get promotion- it's exactly that type of thinking that Risdale had with Leeds that all but bankrupted them in the end. 

I won't even mention the completely disgraceful behaviour by Mel towards the staff and fans keeping us all in the dark during this period and his decision to pull the plug. I somehow doubt he'll end up selling his house or is wandering the street with a tin cup in the near future. 

We don't know if this is true yet. There will be plenty of clickbait articles over the next few weeks.
Anyrode, if it was true, we don't know if the EFL have run it past Kieran Maguire and Steve Gibson for approval yet.

Plus lots of our players must still live at home with Mum & Dad?! ?

I thought they were getting that per week ?
