1977 Ram Raider

'I always give my all for this football club' - dread to think what he'd be like if he had an off day.

Considering for many years Rooney was mocked how he came across in interviews (and to some extent, still is to this day with the “errmm” comments), I’ve been nothing but impressed with his manner, positivity and the way in which he has conducted himself as our manager in interviews.
We are now seeing the benefit from all the years of experience, he has had handling the media spotlight; so much so, he’s starting to shine with his honesty, integrity and determination to our cause. The jury may still be out for some on his managerial credentials to turn around our fortunes, but he his beyond reproach on his leadership in handling the current situation we are in.
Like you @LeedsCityRam I so hope he’s here and given a decent chance of managing without his hands tied. Some say Cocu had bad luck and never got a fair chance. Rooney has had an even worse stacked deck.
For all his off field antics the media love to trip him up on, as a manager he’s maturing immensely and I’m optimistic all this learning on the job, will be to our benefit next season. He’s no quitter for sure, let’s see if his winning mentality can get us somewhere on a reasonably level playing field to everyone else.
 

I’m twice Wayne’s age.
Never achieved a fraction of the success he has already had in his career.
Never had to face the kind of relentless pressure he has faced in the past twelve months.
Rarely had to face the managerial responsibility he has to face.
Never in the glare of the world’s press.
And all whilst knowing that he could walk away with his head held high at any time.
Thank you Mr Rooney.
Yours respectfully
Steve

Unlikely but I would love it if we managed to stay up, that would really upset Gibbos EFL.

Frequently saying 'Does this place smell of piss?'

Hold on, 3 clean sheets and it’s now panic stations?

Oh f&xk off ref you Bamford 

Nah you’d have to triple her age for our Wayne to be interested.

Has, his mum got the mascots job now ?  Fair play to her for mucking in. 

Nice to see the standard of officiating is absolutely appalling, yet again.

Those slamming Mel should pause for a moment to think about his intentions.
I do not - for a minute - think he's intended to run the club down.
He has spent millions, not to run the club into debt, but to chase the dream. We all supported that chase.
Even though he's managed things badly, which he admits, I do believe that he genuinely thinks the only way he can get new owners in is to put the club into administration.
I'm very far from happy about that, actually been crying about it, but I think it's sincere on his part.

The big question is if Dre will be linking up with M&M again

Feel sorry for these players. With the EFL determined to screw us over, and letting the refs know that, we don’t stand a chance. 

The officials are absolute A holes.

Shelton Lock probably the best chippy in Derby. 

Mint and pea purée my arse!

Be nice for him to score against them again.

Salah and 10 million or they can do one.
Hey B4, I’m learning. ?

I declined a ST refund and continued to pay my direct debit all the way through but still haven’t been this season.
The club only has its self to blame, I will be going Saturday but if I am honest not really that bothered.
Why do I feel like this? A number of reasons I guess which I would imagine are fairly standard across the board.
I’ve kept my money in the club but don’t feel valued still, the communication has been poor. Ringing in to ask questions was dreadful, literally getting cut off so far down the line, that actually makes you feel like the clubs going bust in itself.
I do know a few people inside the club, they say it’s a mess and has been for some time, whilst they don’t know major details or inside news they also feel undervalued.
MM’s battle with the EFL has ruined us, he’s let his emotions get in the way of business and now we are paying for it.
For the previous talk of the club being at the heart of the community it certainly feels very broken right now. 
 
Managerial decisions have cost us badly, Cocu being the worst for me, it was THE time to forget promotion and get a man in to build. Get players from lower levels and really be cost effective with lowered expectations and just be honest with the fans.
I may request a refund in all honesty as my desire has gone, we pay our money and we expect a well run club in return. Even the accounting situation as it stands makes me feel more pain is coming and then I can see very dark days returning as people will walk away. 
 
If you are a fan who wants to carry on and go each week good for you, I may join you I may not but for those that don’t is does not mean they don’t love the badge any less, the relationship just needs a bit more time to repair before we go back.
