Yes, I really dislike it also. Totally get it was meant as a parody of how we're referred to in the media but Rooney's name & 'brand' is now so toxic with some, its becoming divisive.
A vote as @ck- suggests would maybe be the fairest way of deciding whether to keep it or not.

In the thread 'Rooney In', @Highgate argued one of the reasons we should dispense with Rooney's services is:
"Sacking him will mean we won't have to look at the 'Wayne Rooney's DCFC fans' anymore."
To the mods.... Help us reclaim our club. Even if we must have a celebrity in the managerial hot seat, and it seems we must, then at least let this forum lead the way in showing the world that the club is bigger than any individual.
Derby County Football Club.
Then we can say things like "DCFC's manager Wayne Rooney..... needs to get wins".

I do agree with this. I hate us being subordinate to a “big name” player.
I know it’s your forum @David but could we have a vote on whether we remove the “Wayne Rooney’s DCFC Fans” from this forum?

Give him good footballers - see what he can do then. 

I’ve seen the glory years under Brian, Dave Mac, Arthur, Jim. All legends
i followed the rams in the bad years, and never would have given up
 Now I’d  just like to see a decent team showing commitment and heart and winning a few games here and there
 disillusioned with the club and sick of the so called coaching team. This is isn’t a team I respect and don’t want to waste any more emotion or time on them

He needs to play in a better team or rather for a better coach who can get the best out of him and develop his talent.
The same goes for Sibley,Knight and others.
Rooney couldn't get water out of a tap.

Looked handy and by far our best attacking threat. Rooney had to take him off if we really want to be serious about relegation... I think that's the main reason Sibley is on the bench as well.

Thought he was brilliant today. Took up great positions, made theatening runs, took people on, fast direct passing. Did a real shift in defence, too, and saved us a goal. And while others jogged about and scowled at each other and looked like they thought they were too good to have to try, and hard-done-by by the universe, he played like a pro.
You can say 'yeah he does all that but no end product'. But come on: if the likes of Lawrence and Waghorn (and even CKR) did their main jobs as well as he did his, we'd have won today. You can't blame him for not doing _everything_ when some others don't seem to be doing _anything_

He’s just come on for Poland and scored 2 minutes later.....

Is it bad I hope Jozwiak plays and scores against England?

On this day March 23rd 1946.

Fancy a coffee, anyone?
March 20th 2004...
 
 

Loved Baiano and Eranio, two top class players, lucky to have seen them in Rams colours.

Happy days. 
beating notts and a great reminder of what it’s like with a crowd in the stadium
 

They certainly like to tempt fate in their commentary. Good to have proof of the demons they can unleash!!!!

Yes, so we will carry on playing Waggy instead then, who is doing so much better......
Give Sibley a run in the team and he will not only create chances, he'll score his fair share too.
Frankly, I don't think we will see it for Derby as he will be off at the end of the season. I might join him.....

The Sibley thing is representative of how the club has lost it's way. We were supposed to be building up to 50% of our first team being academy products. That was a great plan! The fans were buying into it and it was working. 
In today's line up we had one. And we lost anyway.

He’s lost my respect

Its wrong  and very poor man management. Losing what little respect I had for WR

Its starting to change my opinion of Rooney on its own. Think how excited we were after that hat-trick ironically against Milwall. 

Sibley scored a hat trick v Millwall 9 month ago. It was declared that he was the player money couldn’t buy. Mel had searched Europe for a manager that would be great for the young players. Rosenior was the telly pundit that was the expert that had the knowledge of the championship. I’m sorry to say the management team has not been good for our young players especially Sibley.
