RoyMac5 12,992 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Quote Rooney said: “When I first arrived back in the United Kingdom I was completely blown away by the potential of Derby County Football Club. The Stadium, Training Ground, the quality of the playing staff and the young players coming through and of course the fan base that has remained loyal and supportive. “Despite other offers I knew instinctively Derby County was the place for me.

HariboWest 150 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Can’t work out if it’s deflection, or signs of completion... either way, it’s a good move. Two and a half year deal.... who was the last one to stay that long? Link to post Share on other sites

Leicester Ram 8,011 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Well deserved, despite what’s happening off the pitch right now, Rooney has definitely got a firm grip on what’s happening on the pitch. We’re solid defensively but are still positive going forward, this team is working really hard for him and I feel confident he’s going to keep us up. He’s earned this appointment now, he didn’t get it purely for his name and reputation. Good news at last. David Graham Brown, Rampage, Ellafella and 6 others 6 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

LeedsCityRam 3,533 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Something must have moved for this to have been announced today. If we were as skint & doomed as some of the media clowns believe, there's a) no way we'd have offered a multi year contract deal for a new manager & b) no way Rooney would have accepted if he thought the recent upheaval was going to be a recurring theme. I'm still far from convinced of the merits of Rooney as a permanent manager nor do I think I'll be warming to him as a bloke anytime soon but would still wish him the very best & hope its the first highly successful step of his managerial career. Assuming McClaren sticks around also & with the continued presence of Rosenior, Given & Walker, he's got more chance than most rookie managers of making this a success.

Hopefully an announcement on that shortly too then. Either that or he's got fed up of waiting for his future to be clarified, demanded security and threatened to make an official complaint over unpaid wages so we've panicked into giving him the role full time.
