RoyMac5 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 5 minutes ago, RAMesses III said: I think a frustration for me is that he hasn't spoken out more often during the terrible run this season, if you are captain there are responsibilities and one should be dealing with the fans and media, did he do any of the pre or post match interviews this season so far? When the club is sinking like a stone, the manager is under pressure, what can a captain say that would have made things better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIllyD Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 51 minutes ago, Andicis said: The difference is, Rooney was Cocu's captain and was part of the problem under his management. It's a bit different a player/coach under Cocu coming out and saying a change is needed, and fans saying it. How long has Rooney been thinking it? Has he been trying regardless? If you think it's the same thing, I don't know what to tell you. Had PC still been here then I'm sure the answer would have been different, however he's not, he has to find a way of getting the best out of these individuals, starting tomorrow. What would you have rather the answer, a change wasn't needed it's the players fault, that's a good way to motivate. Players need to do better ? Well that's obvious isn't it, once again as a manager do you want your first interview to be questioning their ability or attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure nobody though Frank really cared about us prior to him don’t the bounce. Look we’re that got us. Oh right, I missed that sorry. Fair point. If Rooney does end up getting the job and starts the bounce infront of a completely empty south stand he'll immediately win me over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad who was linked with Spurs in summer ? If that's his best position then he should hang up his boots. He's detrimental to us in that position. Yeah, the lad who still plays for Watford, in this league, who has 18 months left on his contract, who still loves this club and a club which is about to have new owners who could easily splash £8m on Will.

Red Ram Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 2 hours ago, mwram1973 said: So what's he said that is so wrong?. He wasn't responsible for cocus sacking, he was learning from him, I very much doubt he had any input into tactics and who should play. 99% of folk on here said he needed to go, nice guy but not good enough and a change is needed. Rooney's just saying what everyone else is saying. Nothing more. It's disrepectful and shows a complete lack of class. Whatever Rooney's personal views, there was no need for him to make them public. Cocu has only been gone a few days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksRam Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I for one am on tenterhooks about both the takeover and manager position. In terms of Rooney running things short term, I'm good with that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was fairly hamstrung whilst Cocu & team were in charge. You could see his frustration on the pitch regularly. Same for a lot of the players who I bet wanted to get forward, play more attacking football. But couldn't. One thing Rooney is, is a winner and an attacker at heart. I'll be really interested to see how his (an LR) being in charge changes our shape, and more importantly our mentality. We have some cracking players. They need to be unleashed, not restrained like they have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I can't think of many situations where the coaching team left behind go on to be a success......clear the lot out bring in Ralph Rangnick or someone who's going to know what he's doing ..............and his own ideas/coaching team...fresh owners fresh management team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on the pitch he has a great brain. But off the pitch he appears weak and gormless, and he's often described as divisive . And it's worrying to hear in other threads of the sorts of people who surround and influence him. I think Rosenior has a very difficult role in the coming weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody really knows if it’s a bad idea or not, what we do know is they have Saturday to impress both on and off the pitch. That could be as far as it goes, for now though I’m right behind them. If we lose and Martin scores the winner, I might take a hammer to my router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rosenior has a very difficult role in the coming weeks I'm not his biggest fan, but I've never believed him to be a bad character in any way (bit of a ****** perhaps, but not outright bad) - you're right, he does just seem kind of gormless and a bit thick off the pitch, I've always put that down to him hating doing media stuff though. I think someone earlier in the thread said, a lot depends on who is around him and how they work together. If Rosenoir can work with him and it's a collaborative double act it may well work. Cocu came across as intelligent, but he didn't get the team playing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lander Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 When he said "we need to bring back simplicity". It really hit home. Lets hope this simplicity can be the difference between winning and drawing/losing at the moment. It sounds like we've maybe been trying to focus on every little detail previously, which as we know, with footballers doesn't always work. Onwards and upwards! COYR!

Let's face it, none of us know how Wayne Rooney will turn out as manager or player manager, so if he's appointed why not judge from there That's not the Derby way.
