BBG83 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That's the feeling I get. Bigger than the manager and the reason why a Sheikh would even consider buying us. Its a tell tale sign that there's even a rumour about Phil Jones dropping down to a team in our position from Man Utd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Is it necessarily a bad thing though. If it provides traction to getting new investment into the club then isn't that a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He's bigger than he should be. In more ways than one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 In any meaningful way, no. Media wise, yes. Investment wise? I doubt it, the guy had been looking at Newcastle before so must've done some research on english football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not where does that leave us? With a manager we can't afford to sack who has a player that rules over him?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Unfit, slow, chubby, balding, but that's enough about my missus. We need to drop him, but looks like we just financially can't. What a sorry state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil62uk Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 No one will ever be bigger than Derby County , Weve been around a lot longer than Rooney will ever be . With luck we,,ll be a round in the next ( HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING ) 500 years ....not that any of us will know ? It's quite plausible in Wayne's head he may think he's bigger than Derby County but what goes through his head is another matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He looked fit at last (no thanks Covid!). He looked our most dangerous player. He could easily 'do a job', for us up front, look at the way he linked with Joz. Ask instead why Cocu can't get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion , i dont think Rooney wants Cocu to succeed , hes smelt blood and a chance to get his foot on the managerial ladder and just like the last manager use us as a stepping stone to get to where the Rooney ego wants to land next . Like i say just my opinion , but something about this football club and Rooney doesnt sit comfortable with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done nothing to deserve that and I feel like his presence is a problem for Cocu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He looked good last night, I mean he had our two best chances and came very close to scoring. Showed good legs on a few runs as well. Is he bigger than the club? A year ago yeah not sure about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only he doesn't have any badges and we are a total poison chalice right now. Plus he wants to keep playing! And after Lampard and Gerrard showing what high profile ex-footballers can do as managers I think Rooney will have his choice of easier clubs, probably ex-Prem. So I think you're very wrong.

Its a tell tale sign that there's even a rumour about Phil Jones dropping down to a team in our position from Man Utd. I think the suggestion Mel and co got him in to raise the profile and marketability of the club whilst trying to secure new investment is definitely valid. Regardless of his current performances and state of fitness, whether people think he’s been average or influential the one think he does bring is publicity and sponsorship and he massively raises the global profile of the club for people and investors overseas who would have probably otherwise never heard of us or wouldn’t consider investing. So in that sense, I think he’s a massive asset to us as a business. I’m not quite so sure he’s proving such an asset to us on the pitch at the moment. However, without him, we’d still be without a win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenBr Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 He is the only one who looked even remotely close to scoring last night. Everyone else seems scared to shoot. I've criticised him in the past and still think he holds the team back, but last night we would have been even worse without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats fair enough mate , theres just something about this whole Rooney thing that im uneasy about , just my opinion but i think hes a big influence in the dressing room and some players may have had their heads turned , we will see how things pan out COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's towards the end of his career, he's also here as a coach - leaves plenty of room for 'what ifs'. #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the question. And from that answer I'd say Rooney is bigger than Derby County then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
