Happy Christmas everyone ?
One of my New Years resolutions is to try and become more tolerant on here and not act like an old curmudgeon when someone is obviously spouting poo but that's still a few days away so ?

That wasn’t what I asked - you’re talking as if you KNOW the details of their bids whereas actually you’re just throwing a wobbler because your own preferred bidder has backed out……if CK was so clearly offering a better deal then he’d have been named preferred bidder by know, but if the admins prefer one of the other bids ahead of CK, then it suggests that the others do have the required financial muscle to take over….
CK has been playing a game in the media where he’s tried to get the club by getting the fans and Rooney on his side - it appears the admins have followed due process and considered all of the bids and decided he doesn’t offer the best way forward - maybe they told him he needed to up his bid- whatever, it seems they’ve called his bluff and he’s folded.
If he was the only bidder I’d be expecting a fire sale, but while there are other parties still involved then there is still hope…..

Shows he's a good judge of character though which is in his favour

This succinctly sums up the whole manner of his tenure

Yes made the exact same point over a week ago and weirdly was shouted down that fans are not entitled to any information from the administrators as that's not their primary function.

I don't understand why the administrators keep setting themselves deadlines if they aren't going to meet them. Surely if you're not sure, don't commit yourself to a time frame? 

Touche. But point still stands. Why would we expect contrition from other clubs owners when our ex owner has shown very little in that way for the mess were in?

No, he just left the mess he created for someone else to clean it up.

I agree. I would like posters to know when I am laughing with them and not at them

When can we review/rationalise the current set of reaction emojis please?
In my humble opinion the like and clapping emojis are too close to each other in meaning, the angry emoji hardly gets used (not complaining about this btw just observing) and the laughing emoji gets muddled up between finding something genuinely funny and being used to deride the opinion - perhaps an eyes rolling emoji additionally as I've suggested before. 
I find myself using a lot of GIFs now to replace emojis sentiments that aren't existing or appropriate to use, not sure if this is meant to be the way forward. 
Would be interested in other people's opinions too.

Big Vern, 2nd best character after Paul Whicker the tall Vicar, imo.

Happy Birthday ?

Representatives from BAWT have been in touch with the WWFC board regarding the ongoing legal case and have received a supportive and encouraging reply. Over the coming days, we hope to engage in a positive dialogue and explain the fears of #dcfc fans if the case is pursued.

How many managers are there in charge of clubs in the football pyramid then on top of that how many managers out of work.
So not one of those vast numbers just in the English League alone would be able to do a better job that Rooney. 

Yes agree that the tactics selected more often than not choose themselves with the players Rooney has at his disposal.
Though I did listen to a recent interview with Ralf Rangnick regards CR7 allegedly being unable to press and he said that the players you have at your disposal dictate your manner of play not the other way around. 
Think this is where Rooney trips up sometimes as without singling players out Roos is never going to be comfortable with the ball at his feet so just don't adopt this style of play. 

Just read the comments from Wayne about Curtis (36 years old) and Jags (39) playing higher up the pitch. Just don’t get it. It has goal ‘from counter attack’ and ‘ forward running in behind’ written all over it.  Like Liverpool playing a high line without Virgil vD. Clean sheets is what we need if we are to perform this miracle and we can deliver them if we give our star defenders a chance 

Yeah, fair point.
I meant in terms of motivating individuals.
Teamwise, I think he's having to keep things tight, simply because we lack firepower up front.
Even though that's true, given that we won't be able to add to the squad in January and we're effectively down anyway, I'd like Rooney to be more adventurous. Let's just go for it 
Let's play attacking, flowing football. We may be down but let's do it with a bit of entertainment.
(That's where I still think there's questions against Rooney - would he play a more attacking style even if we had a goalscorer?)

Agree with most of your post but not sure how on one hand one can say that Rooney is far from being a tactical genius but on the other then say he is generally getting the most out of the players he has. 
I think it's a safe bet that another manager could do better than Rooney but how much better is the imponderable and as you quite correctly say is impossible to definitely prove anyhows. 
I have been impressed by his professionalism during the whole crisis which does belie his years.
