JoeDerby Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 To think this time 2 years ago, we we're all upset because Rowett left us for Stoke - what a bunch of idiots (myself included)! Exciting times for Derby County! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Mel probably made some errors in the first couple of seasons, like anyone does in a new role but like any great leader, he has learnt from experiences and continues to try and progress the company. Very appreciative that we have this guy at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimmerman Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 It's gotta be great for the future commercial aspects of the club as well How many young kids will follow Derby now because of this? And potentially become a fan of the club because of signing Rooney?? A masterstroke I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Utterly mental times. Imagine someone telling you a couple of years back that we’d have Lampard and cocu as managers and Ashley Cole and Wayne Rooney we’re gonna pull on the Derby shirt... you’d have been laughed out the room! Let’s just hope the big names live up to it and finally get us up! It’s been a bloody long time coming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 The unnamed player that text Jim White used the right word, phenomenal. Whilst some may not agree with all of his decisions, Mel's ambition since walking through the door cannot be questioned, to pull this off is an incredible coup for the club both on and off the pitch. I understand some may not appreciate the "Brand Rooney", but this is football now, you would be mad to ignore the commercial side of the game and the revenue can bring the club. Appointing Lampard last summer was a ballsy move by Mel, without last season I don't see Cocu or Rooney here, so whilst some may still be angry with Frank, I will choose to remember his time more fondly as it could be the start of a new era at the club which is exciting for sure.

Leeds Ram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It is genuinely difficult to believe that we've gone from Rowett to Cocu in a matter of a couple of seasons let alone having Cole at left back and now Rooney leading the line. The commercial opportunities i imagine are quite large especially when it comes to televising games. I'd also imagine tickets would be far harder to come by if we were going well by January and Rooney came in ? All in all it's a great deal for the club as his record in America has been consistently good and he was a solid player for Everton when he was played in his best position.
