In there dream give us 35m then maybe we shall start talking or otherwise get stuffed WBA.

I'm not his biggest fan, but I have to say Rooney was excellent in his press conference today. No crying and moaning about the restrictions, no excuse making, just total belief in his squad and his work on the training ground.
The proof will be in the pudding of course, but he does at least deserve some credit for how he's dealing with this current situation.

There are so many on this forum who are such loyal Rams fans that they would die for the club, but only till the owners cash runs out.
This is a replay of what happened to Pickering and as he famously said on radio Derby to the booing fans "If you can do better, where's your money - and if you don't like it, go and watch Forest.” that ended with the club going into administration and some less than savoury characters picking the club up for £3 and then them going to prison for a creative sale of the ground.
I agree with the sentiments of this topic the club needs support, not constant sniping to try and show how humorous the posters can be, (and always failing).
FWIW 99% of Rams fans do not come on this forum or do twatter, so all the "clever" remarks will not affect their attitudes to the club. and anyone who is less than supportive on Saturday could well regret their negativity.
 

If:
1. We beat the Trees twice
2. See Cashin, Williams, Sibley, Bird and others progress and become better footballers
3. Beat Boro and make Gibson cry and mess up his perm
4. Play some good football
5. Score some good goals
6. Win a few matches
7. See some dignity and pride restored
8. Dont get relegated
Then for me it will have been a good season. That'll do me. 

Amidst all the panicky tweets, let’s be clear, we’ve actually made a step forward today with the three signings:

Roos ; Byrne, Stearman, Davies, Forsyth; Bird, Shinnie; Joswiak, Lawrence, Sibley/Watson; CKR 
subs - Allsop, Buchanan/Williams, Ebosele, Caishin, Hutchinson, Watson/Sibley, Stretton
Fozzy gets the nod for me after being better in pre season than the injury affected Buchanan.
 
The Morrison situation probably my priority of the other trialists. The performance of Caishin last week means i’m less concerned about Jagielka. Though I worry about goals, am not convinced about Baldock or Aluko and resolutely optimistic on Stretton. 

What an advert it'll be for the Championship tomorrow!

Read all the posts on here over the last few days and while i am as frustrated as everybody is with the news coming out of the club i would like to give a big shout out to Wayne Rooney and Curtis Davies , Rooney is fighting a battle like no other manager in recent years has had to , for him to come out and say hes here no matter what gives me a little hope for this season
         As for Curtis , well what can you say , after signing his waiver for the last game last season , now signing on for this season at a reduced wage shows what a whole hearted , dedicated , total professional footballer and human being this guy is , hope he has an injury free season and leads by example in a difficult looking season , all the best to Wayne , Curtis and the rest of the players and staff , COME ON YOU RAMS

A pro Rooney chant wouldn't go amiss tomorrow. I think he feels everyone is against him, including the fans. 
It would be nice to see a smile on his face if fan support included him. 

Although I'd consider myself to be in the 'Rooney out' camp, and despite the recent negative publicity involving Rooney, I do have admiration for him on the back of this.
I've said before I have no idea why he's still here. He's clearly being messed around, and his reputation in his first ever managerial role is going to be the frontman for the circus that is going on behind the scenes, and ultimately on the pitch.
Plenty would have walked. I admire him for not doing that. Arguably, we wouldn't be worse off if he goes and Wassall or Walker, or somebody like that comes in. The person that will likely be worse off for staying, is Rooney.
It's either blind loyalty, blind optimism, or some unfound confidence he has in being able to turn this around. If Stearman and Davies have signed, then on paper we shouldn't really expect to get battered in August with the fixtures we've got. Our starting XI is ok. There's no depth, but for this level, the eleven we can put out are an OK team. Nothing more.
He must have confidence that more will come in before the window shuts, he just has to. Otherwise why would he endure a season of this? Whether that's the likes of Jagielka, Aluko, Morrison etc. joining the ranks, or he's calling in favours from Manchester United to chuck us a few players to make a difference, I don't know.
It's all very confusing, he's said he's staying, but I'd love to know the reasons in his head for why he thinks that's the right decision.

Although our squad is threadbare at least we now have 2 centre half’s. Should be enough to beat Huddersfield. Let’s see if we bring more in by end of August, hopefully the accounts will be sorted by then. Also I agree let’s get behind the team tomorrow whoever plays 

I really, really hope that the fans celebrate the return of live league football and focus their efforts on getting behind whatever team we put out. 
Any negativity should be directed at the board after the game. 
Let's not have negativity during the game which could affect the team's performance.

Rooney: "I am fully committed to this football club and the players need the support of the fans. Please get behind these players because they need you.”
#COYR!

I realise  you think you're being funny, but why do our 'fans' feel the need to do this? He's signed for us when we're in desperate need of players - I think that earns him the right to be given a chance before people take the mick.....

He’s approaching cult hero status for me. Put his body on the line last game of the season and has now signed for (comparative) peanuts. I get the feeling he has a real affinity for the club and wants to help out. He’s a genuinely good human being.

what's the point in having an academy if the players are mothballed as opposed to bringing them through?
Some will sink, others will swim.

Sibley and Lawrence need to be jettisoned.
Crawley and Burns are lucky there aren’t more pushing for their place. I’d keep Bairstow even though he’s hit and miss.
Can’t see why Hameed is in the squad if he’s not deemed better than these clowns. I like Malan as a player but even he has struggled lately.
There’s no quality first class cricket in this country any more so it’s no wonder we aren’t producing top batsmen.

At least we have two established centre backs, I presume it will be because they are the only two who would accept the 4.5k a week wage. I'm pleased Curtis is one of them.
I'd like to find a way to sign Morrison to over the next couple of weeks too.
