The only player in our squad who might be a 20 goal a season player is Sibley but he's never played. That's 100% on Rooney. I want him gone.

I don’t think Rooney helps though, his tactics are god awful, he makes a crap squad look ten times worse 

We’ll be lucky to get forte this season. Probably more like twenty

Lovely. way too good to wear on a wet and muddy footie pitch

Derby Manager Wayne Rooney's attempt to toughen up his team has backfired again, leaving 3 more players injured. Concerned about Derby's keepers struggling against physical players when coming out for crosses, he beat them with a baseball bat as they tried to catch a cross. David Marshall, Kelle Roos and triallist Ryan Allsop are all out for 2 to 3 months with multiple fractures, leaving Derby with the prospect of not fielding a keeper in the first game of season against Huddersfield.
Former United and England ace Rooney is now said to be keen to try a new 'rush back goalie' tactic against Real Betis tomorrow as the Rams continue to prepare for the coming season with 8 fit registered players.
Under fire Rams Boss Rooney has now banned the baseball bat from Moor Farm, though he insists this is not an admittance his coaching methods were disastrous. Rooney 35, commented that the baseball bat ban was purely a temporary measure until Colleen calms down.      

After years of work and research here it is !
The Derby County shirt worn in the inaugural season of 1884 by the pioneers of our club, Cambridge Blue, Amber and Chocolate Brown the first colours of the Rams, it was thought that the early colours were blue but it was a shade of blue called Cambridge Blue which is actually more of a green. The badge was the badge of the Derbyshire FA that a player was permitted to wear if they had been selected to represent the Derbyshire FA.
we have had two made by a local tailor after we sourced the correct colours and the materials, the embroidery was done separately, even down to mother of Pearl buttons, it is to add further integrity to the book but moreover to show where the club evolved from, the team that wore these colours set the precedent for all those that have followed, the shirts will be on display at our Rams Heritage roadshows later in the year.

I’ve lost any remaining respect I had for him. Compare Rooney’s  with the gentlemanly behaviour of Cocu. Different class !

Talks about bringing pride & dignity back to dcfc and then gets caught like that. 
Terminally stupid hypocrite. 
Just go, Wayne.

I blame him ?

There's a flaw in that plan
Expecting the EFL to be sensible....

Make no mistake he should've been long gone and is only taking us to League One. Total fraud of a manager

Nothing when we got near their penalty box. Their players looked  stronger and faster and had more self belief. We struggled when they closed down our defenders when passing out from the back. 

Not sure we have a gaffer !

I know it's stupid to judge things based on one pre-season game but parts of this rant have been left over from last season.
I've just realised there was a time last season when we had three people at the club vastly more qualified and suitable for the manager role than Rooney. Mac, Wassall and even Bowyer. This club is ridiculous. It's obvious Rooney is un-sackable until we have a new owner.
A decent or at least experienced manager, someone with a history of using low quality players at the bottom end of the division would at least give us more of a chance. To me it looks like Rooney is more interested in getting better as a manager for his individual benefit. Him trying to be the one who finally gets the best out of Morrison is a prime example of this. He's not in it for the money so why would he be bothered doing the boring stuff that would benefit the club? He clearly isn't willing to listen to advice from more experienced people after the way he banished Mac, instead he just surrounds himself with yes men. He's un-sackable and I think he knows it.
If we're accepting we're going to be in a relegation battle next season and we have low quality players we should do what other clubs in this situation do, be less of a footballing side, play more direct, simple etc. Like Burnley have been doing for years in the PL. Instead it just feels like we're part of Rooney's Football Manager career. 
I'd have a lot of respect for him if he would step aside without asking for a pay-off (he doesn't need the money), and just let someone with relegation experience come in to give us some sort of chance.

I will never take a bet on Derby to fail - it’s sick and it’s wrong
