drgoodspeak Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yes I’m p1ssed and have just gone through the after action reports, but honestly, how surreal is it still to see Rooney as the manager of DCFC? We know he’s only here for a short time, but fair play to Mel, he’s attracted big names and raised our profile far beyond anyone else in this league.

Rooney was attracted to the club by the Gods of wonga and 32Red let's be frank now. And Morris has raised our profile beyond any other club in the league but in a negative, detrimental way - circus and fiasco would be appropriate words currently.

WR was attracted by the opportunity Derby provided to seemlessly progress into management thanks to the pitch that MM provided. 2. Wrong again. I suspect MM has been working tirelessly to got things done. We have a very well-run Club which will be once again competing at the top before too long. Events beyond our control have had an impact but these things will be sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are asserting that I am wrong so by definition your take on the subject is that therefore your opinion, and it is that, is 100% factually correct?

Millenniumram Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Don’t think it’s that surreal myself. It was when he first started for us as a player, considering what he’d achieved in the game on the pitch. But that’s largely irrelevant now he’s a manager. Apart from the obvious sponsorship and profile benefits, he’s just the same as any other rookie manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just underlined my point that it's impossible to validate therefore improper to progress as hard fact and therefore say I was wrong. Don't mind debating opinions but supported by hard facts if someone is going to venture that statement. As an observation how many people in their career history have sat in front of an interviewer or panel and said I would love to join your company as it offers great career progression, is the best company to work for yada yada whilst eyeing the 20% salary uplift available. I've not come across many if any candidates I've interviewed who have been crass enough to venture when asked why they want to join my company with because I'm going to get a load more money. So peoples true motivates are not always shared for public consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You believe that Rooney has been lying to everyone, on more than one occasion, that he was wanted by other clubs and offered more money. And I'll take him at face value.

And the second point of the original post is conveniently being ignored too which I was wrong on as well, I don't see any other Championship clubs apart from the Wendies having to sell their own stadium to circumnavigate FFP rules so that to me does not smack of being a well run club.

Where’s your evidence for your opinion? I didn’t say your opinion is less valid than mine - you did. I also believe you are being hugely disrespectful to Mel Morris who is the architect of a great many of the very positive things about Derby County. I wince when I read statements like yours and wonder what MM must think when he is so unjustafiably berated on here. Don’t confuse gutter press hyperbole for facts. The reality is far more complex.

I was waiting for that. You've asserted that I'm wrong but you are unable to progress that statement with hard facts. You made the assertion in the first place, not me. And don't then try and muddy the waters by then saying I'm being disrespectful, it's obvious that my statement irked you hence your reply which is a totally separate matter.
