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!
 

i think rooney has gotten a huge raw deal from supporters, people dont understand the difficulty of the job he has. 
bluntly put he has a piss poor first team squad, and managed to keep us up last season and we have had an excellent start. just a shame it has been threw back in his face by that so called owner of the club.

Goosebumps as the crowd erupted at full time.

When he first said his job was to bring the dignity and pride back to the club a while ago, I raised an eyebrow, particularly given what happened later that evening.
Wayne Rooney has many talents, but I thought that was something of a stretch.
Yet in a time of crisis, it turns out he is actually a real leader, and has the emotional depth and intelligence to become a figurehead.
I wanted him gone last season, even started a thread saying so, but recent events have made me re-evaluate his contribution.
He's the leader of the resistance, and today was a test he pulled off with aplomb.
More tests lie ahead, somehow this might not be the darkest moment, but I now see we've got a steady hand on the tiller.

Classless is being polite.  Rooney is a multi millionnaire already.  That's not why he's doing this and he's shown his class by sticking by the players, believing in them, doing everything he can.  The guy is top class in my opinion, forget whether he's an experienced manager or not.  So impressed with everything he and the team are doing with all the poo that's been going on.  The reaction today says it all. 

I assumed 21. Take 21 off us now and we're on -11. Add 61 to that and we're on 50.

We need some kind of promotion form for the rest of the season, but if Wayne can pull this off he'd be one of the most legendary figures at the club in recent history. 

Great performance Wayne and the whole team today, massively proud of you all and all the supporters at PP.
To the Board - this is the ‘Derby way’ close the door on your way out!

Makes the point against the baggies even better. Proud of our team, manager and fans today.

That is absolutely disgusting and Mel and Pearce should be completely ashamed of themselves for allowing that to happen. Revolting behaviour.

He’ll never be able to show his face at a Derby county game ever again. 
 
I think that says it all 

They should write a book or make a film about his tenure, it's been that bad.
Considering where we were when Mel came in, our posiiton now after spending some £70 million on players is truly astounding.

Agreed. I’d take Andy Appleby’s offer to help find a suitable buyer. He has the expertise, knowledge and contacts. Also experience of the competitive and regulatory environment of the English Championship. Plus an affection for DCFC. I’d put a lot of trust in any potential solution he put together.
