The man is just class. I can't think of anyone who would have turned down an interview at their boyhood club, a Premiership club, to stay at this total car crash of a football club. It is an unbelievable decision, it defies logic but it proves that he was telling the truth when he said he wanted to restore pride to this club. 
Whilst Rooney deserves every single platitude coming his way, I think we should all remember loyalty cuts both ways. This club will get back on its feet one day & at that point, expectations will rise. Don't want to see any kneejerk 'we've lost 3 games in a row, he has to go' nonsense - he deserves more leeway than any manager we've ever had. Because at our lowest ebb, he stuck with us & he didn't have to ?
p.s. @RoyMac5 you called it - Chapeau

We're an old and illustrious club with more glory to look back on than most clubs...and yet Rooney will be able write his own chapter in it if he manages to keep us up, this might not be the most glamorous job in English football at the moment (to say the least) but I think Rooney knows how big it is to keep the Rams in the Championship, despite all odds. The world will be watching if he does. Achievement wise it is better level of performance IMO than Pep winning the Premiership or guiding Everton to midtable obscurity. If he manages the Great Escape he can seal himself into a Derby folklore immaterial of what comes after. The guy then could take any job and leave this club with legend status (hopefully later rather than sooner).

I was born whilst Roy McFarland was manager, and in my conscious time supporting this Club, I think I can now say that Wayne Rooney is my favourite manager we've ever had.
I was too young to fully appreciate Jim Smith. I started going to watch Derby regularly when he was manager, and some his squads will be players I always remember (Mart Poom was my first football idol), but I was still too young to think deep enough in to football to see the influence of managers and the impact they have on squads.
Wayne Rooney isn't a manager who has produced the best results I've seen like Davies or McClaren, or produced the most eye-catching football (McClaren), but doesn't stop him coming out on top for me.
I think when all of this is done and we emerge on the other side, those who stood by us and supported us will never be forgotten, likewise with those who did the opposite. No matter what happens, I won't forget the loyalty that Rooney has shown us, when it would be so easy for him to do walk. I don't have enough fingers to count the number of times where he could've turned his back on us and you'd only be able to say, "yeah, fair enough."
But here he is inspiring younger players, breathing new life in to veterans and getting this Club pulling together as one to get results and performances we really have no right to get in our situation. Then when the opportunity comes to possibly manage his boyhood side, he doesn't think twice because he's fully invested in the project and the battle we have here.
How inspiring must that be for those at the Club? I couldn't think of much worse than having someone preach to you week in, week out, only for the same person to just jump ship at the first opportunity. The fact he hasn't done that makes me confident that this squad and the supporters will be invigorated even more. If we do manage to retain our Championship status, he'll become a legend. But if not, I don't think I'll ever underappreciate what he's done, and what he's doing for us. I wanted him gone towards the end of last season, even after we scraped survival. Thank god I'm not in charge hey? And mostly, thanks Wayne.

Imagine if a new ownership group came in and said they were replacing him..
Pitchforks !!!!!!!!!

What a guy. Roooooooooooooney.

Rooney:
"I've just come off the phone with them (administrators) five mins ago. Where we are at, there is no big update I can give you.
There will be no players leaving.
They have reassured me Tom Lawrence will not be going and that is pleasing because he is a player I want to keep.
Everton approached my agent and asked me to interview for the vacant job which I turned down. I have a job here I am doing, which is an important job to me and that means me getting the team ready for Sunday."
 

Does this all mean we wont be signing that german center back ??............i will get my coat . 

Im sorry but this is ridiculous we are now given another month to kick the can down the road rather than focus the bidders on a deadline its getting in an absolute farce . 

One thing for sure is the word " imminently " has forever taken on a different meaning between Derby supporters .

Is that the great Gatsby you are referring to? 
When the music stops Ashley will be sitting in the chair, and McClaren will be sniffing round him, but at all times denying he has any interest in Rooney’s job. 
 

Oh i know, im very much in the never should have got rid of him camp

Have you seen what he is doing at my local MANSFIELD  !!  won last 6 or 7 games  scoring for free . Whats more depressing is we will almost certainly be playing Mansfield and prob losing to them next year . 

Usually in US if you can run for republican senator you are loaded unless one of our US resident fans can correct me. Just because you havent heard of them doesnt mean they're not rich.
 
Not aimed at you at all just generally but looking at this thread tonight cant get over how picky some suddenly are. It may not work out but we have an actual bidder. an actual formal bidder. Can we not just enjoy that thought tonight and analyse the amounts that will cover, why some with no knowledge seem to have taken against them already etc etc another time. I really thought the claims were going to see everyone off.  We have a bidder. Imagine the mood in Parry Towers, Gibson's grotto and other one's tacky mansion ????

Spot on im afraid we are . And the hits keep on coming .
