Cheating is a very emotive word. All of the benefits we have gained from our Machiavellian attempts to circumnavigate the rules such as selling the ground have resulted in zero gain from us other than pissing off other clubs and now the EFL who are now gleefully trying to do their best to get their own back on us. 

The joke about all this is after all all the time we have been allegedly cheating look at the benefits it has levered us.
So Morris couldn't even get that right.

If they're his best endeavours then the mind boggles with what state we would be in if he was really trying to do a totally inept job 

Who's panicking? Rooney nearly managed to get us relegated to League 1 last season I'm sure he'll succeed this time around.

Paradoxically he seems to play better against international calibre players. Which isn't difficult however judging his past seasons performance. Unfortunately for him the Championship ain't gifted with a glut of quality players.

I hear all that but look at what you're saying - Bielik isn't certain to be fit at the start of the season, Waghorn isn't certain to be be here at all. So a lot of the reasons or excuses or whatever you want to call them for the atrocious end to the season will still be incumbent next season, does this mean then it's OK to expect the same outputs from Rooney again?

There's the idea and then there's the execution. 
The dismal thing is that it's pretty certain we're going to have to tolerate whatever Rooney comes up with until we either get a new owner or Morris realises that the club is going to be an even lesser attraction to buy plying it's trade in League 1

I have had my issues with Mel regarding the Academy and the 5 player dictate .
It was a statement he maybe would have been better not making .
It is naive to think the Academy project has all the answers but there is no doubt it has kept the club afloat though recently by us getting big fees for the likes of Bogle,Whitaker and Lowe. 

The issue is that as soon as statements are made like that, whether it be a vision or a misson goal, then they quite rightly are taken literally - why else would you not? Again I think Mel Morris has been guilty of making bold statements with the best intentions which unfortunately ultimately he will and should be measured against. Not as a stick to beat him with but as an indicator of his success in his role - would be the same for any MD of any company coming in whom maps out their three year, five year plan etc. If its not delivered on then quite rightly questions are then asked. Of course Morris doesn't have any shareholders per se to answer to but he does have the club supporters.
But to agree with some of the other comments made am not sure exactly how realistic this statement was in the first instance but can't fault the guy for having grandiose ambitions.

I had an encounter with cryptosporidium a few months ago, was pooing through the eye of a needle for a week.  

Does Rooney know himself? That's the more pertinent question.
If he did say that the picked his teams style of play on a game by game basis which I have to say I don't recall him saying but not calling you a liar then in itself its such a ludricous and worrying comment given our measly points return for the last quarter of the season.

I have zero expectations so perhaps I will be pleasantly surprised ?

Given it took 12 months last time for him to start back in first team (and a little bit longer to get back to full sharpness/fitness) I'd have said its pretty much certain Bielik won't be fit at the start of the season.
That's my default assumption I have to say. I guess the confirmation will come when the report back for duty happens on July 1st.
