Jimbo Ram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Think he deserves his chance. Would rather an initial contract until the end of the season mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be so humble, it was a very good typo. We are proud of you, TP. Proper banger imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Announced on the 15th too... Pay Day, by all accounts! Might not be an official announcement as such, but I strongly suspect everyone is now up to date with their wages too, and the local press will be tweeting such "rumours" before nightfall?

rammieib Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just imagine that a bloke who doesn’t own Derby County and hasn’t a pound into the club authorising this. No I’m not being facetious this is exactly what I think has happened! Anyway, I’m happy with it and hope somehow somewhere his hands are untied.

Ram-Alf Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The only certainty this last few months was WR was getting the job, Madness to get someone else in, Congrats WR, I've seen enough to know this was the right choice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 6 minutes ago, Ibby said: Risky appointment. Parachuting a new manager into *this* situation, halfway through January with no money to spend would have been risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 No disruption in appointments so there must be good working relationships. Seamless appointment. The only way is up. WELL DONE MEL MORRIS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Rooney knows the club with all the issues and he is delighted to have the job. He knows the players and the staff. Speaks volumes. Whirlwind signings would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't an official announcement about not paying the playing staff, so I doubt there will be an official announcement about us eventually paying them. I hope we have though and this saga is coming to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Can't believe I'm saying it...but I think this is very good news. Shows he believes there is a future where all the best players don't get sold and there is money to bolster the squad. If he was unsure, Wayne Rooney could just say 'I will wait and see thanks' before making anything permanent ....he knows a relegation on his CV would strangle his managerial career at birth. Second...I have to admit he has done much better so far than I expected, he deserves a chance now. I'm letting go of my preconceptions and am going full 'Rooney fan boy'...no choice but to enjoy the coverage he brings. 'Gordon / Knight is best youngster/prospect ever' is not a story, unless its Wayne Rooney saying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just sacked a footballing legend who won multiple titles. Few people would have assumed that was risky, but look what happened. It’s a complete lottery, but what he has done so far has been positive, so let’s give him a chance for now and see this as good news. There will be plenty of time for negativity and told you so’s in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give him 13 months. Just over a year from now, our annual February slump has seen us drop from upper mid table to not far above the bottom three, everyone's miserable and the new ownership group of Peter gadsby, fawaz and John sleighthome decide action must be taken.
