    Allsop is better in every way. A proper keeper.
    Most importantly he is calm in what he does and keeps his defence calm.

    This ⬆️⬆️⬆️. What is done is done. MM has to live with what he’s done to the club he ‘supports’. Let’s resolve the stadium and move on that’s it. There’s hatred and vitriol towards MM, answering the other questions won’t change that. We as a fan base have been a class above throughout all this and long may that continue.

    Davies and Bird for me, absolutely no questions about it.

    Take Davies out of the team and you're left with Stearman as the only senior CB. Bird has been the senior CM throughout the season and has played excellent, removing him would leave a huge hole as shown during his suspension.

    Davies and Bird (hands down!).
    Bird IS still a young player so judged be judged fairly against the others on the "qualifying players list".

    It's right up there with Gregg's and Carling as a "why is this a success, it's terrible" question of the world is wrong wondering.

    The housing situation is disgusting at the moment. 
    I left home at 18 in the mid 90's, and even as a poorly paid manual worker I could just about manage a mortgage on a 3 bed semi with my then girlfriends wages. 
    No chance of that happening today, my lads 22 and is in a similar position, but despite 6 years of savings he's nowhere near being able to move into a home of his own. 
    Buy to let has completely distorted the market, alongside the lack of new stock.
    I know steps have been taken to make BTL less attractive, but these steps have just made it slightly harder to be a new landlord, rather than discourage the practice altogether. 
    For me it's simple, you own one house you actually live in, and no more.
    Let investors risk their money on the stock market, or other Investments, and let property be the essential thing we live in, not an asset to be plundered.

    EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to davenportram in Rooney shouldn’t be allowed to bring in the players he wants   
    I want the opposite. I want us to have Rooney’s passion, ideals and philosophy.  For this to work he needs to bring the players he identifies in, within the business plan limits. Any structure that stifles his player recruitment will hinder him doing his job.
    the rebuild is from the ground up. Rooney is a scholar from two clubs with history - both had success under long term managers whose philosophy ran through the clubs veins, through the players and fans. Obviously one had more success than the other, but he knows the importance of stability and a vision of how the club should be.
    CK will know this too, as he is apparently successful in his own right in business. 
     
    success is about having the right people in place, any structure has to support the Manager, not designed to hamstring him. 
     
    we have a chance now to build - build a club, ethos, vision and structure that will breed success.
     
    I think Rooney will stay with as as long as he can build the club in his way, will he leave us in the future? Possibly, but why would he if we are successful?

    Rooney will have better contacts/respect than the majority of people in English football. Every young lad thats grown up watching him will want to play for him, I think we'll see some gem loans like the lampard season and I'm all for it!

    Completely agree in the long run, but Kirchner said the other day that we literally don’t have a recruitment team right now. It will be on Rooney this summer, so let’s hope he finds some gems like he did last summer.

    EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to LeedsCityRam in Rooney shouldn’t be allowed to bring in the players he wants   
    There's merit in the underlying principle but the title of the thread is probably going to get some folks' back up.
    Given what he has to had to put up with this season, Rooney deserves the opportunity to bring his own players into the club in a stable environment. Lets not forget the club has been hollowed out & so there is a massive job on to rebuild the first team & under 23 squad...Rooney's connections and draw will be crucial to entice players here so we can hit the ground running in League One. This is absolutely not the time to put restrictions on him other than a budget.
    Going forward, yes it would be wise to have a Director of Football who recruits players on a manager's behalf but that appointment should only be made with Rooney's full buy in as a faciltator, not a restriction. The key point though is hiring a manager (when Rooney goes) who plays a very similar style of football to Rooney...it is the idiotic idea that you can bring in a manager with a totally different playing style that wastes money & necessitates squad rebuilds/wasted players.
