JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 He's saying and doing all the right things at the minute. The sooner we can sort our poo out and start supporting him properly, the better. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11696/12194185/wayne-rooney-Derby-manager-insists-he-wont-quit-even-if-takeover-collapses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we could do something similar if we were in League 2 with Forest as the only other significant team there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 The 'Rooney way' has certainly tightened up the defence. In our last 10 league games. we've only conceded 4 goals, as opposed to 21 in the previous 14. That's comfortably the lowest in the league. Considering we lost 3 of the 10, that's remarkable. Okay, so we only scored 9 in that period but it's brought us 4 wins and 3 draws. Considering the state we were in when he took over, and the on-going problems (EFL, take-over, wages, Covid, Keogh), that's amazing. He must be very focused.

Thanks for this, some really good points raised on here. Liked the comments about Schteve not been too involved, liked the comments on simplifying it all and liked the suggestion that Wayne is implementing some of the ways of working he got from Sir Alex. Heartening listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it’s given a bit more insight into Mac’s role. Far more involved with the footballing side than I first assumed, but not involved enough to take any credit away from Rooney.

I thought it was one of the best Monday Night Football shows when he came on. You could see he was a student of the game. I just hope his teams have the personality of Wayne Rooney the kid, not the Wayne Rooney who got older and smoothed over with age. I know you've got to be articulate nowadays, but I hope he's like a Diego Simeone. That's what he was like as a player and as a kid. A team that is aggressive and ferocious." #ComeonRooneysRams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 There is no doubt Rooney is determined single mined character, you don't achieve what he has without having that drive and inner believe in yourself. This, however this is total new situation. On the football pitch he could physically influence things through his own skill,mental strength and physic. Now he can only in-part he's ideas and message on to others to 'hopefully put into practice what they have been in told. While all the time membering they maybe be lesser morals when it comes to speed of thought and skill level. It is a challenge but one he want's. I sure he will be ultimately successful, hopefully at Derby (provided we give him the time, resources and backing) to be so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney's not going to want any credit going anywhere else but him (as you would expect) and Mac doesn't seem to care,he just loves coaching and being involved. It's not as though Steve has been making any comments whatsoever about the team,club or indeed anything else,it's the press who are probing his role and input.Macs kept his head down since he came here. Surprised Rooney was quite spiky in his reply,it just shows a player/manager of his standings ego being slightly put out by the suggestion it's not all down to him I suppose. Fair enough and as long as we are progressing who is bothered by who does what,it's all to the good of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
