StarterForTen Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 One of the pundits in a newspaper column - can’t remember who, or whether Times or Telegraph - wrote a few weeks ago that Rooney’s manager’s contract was of similar liability to his playing contract. I read that as being what he was owed for the last six months as a player is now what he’s owed as a manager over the reported 2.5 year term. if £5m a year was the correct figure for his playing contract then, that would mean about £20k a week as a manager. Have to say that sounds a lot mire feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I heard when he signed his 18 month playing contract was a total cost of £6 million of which we were paying 25% so that’s £1.5 million or £500,000 last season followed by £1 million this season. I assume that would change when he stopped playing officially. if true £500.000 for last season was a bargain in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodley Ram Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Rooney has impressed me since taking over, it would not surprise me if he did defer his wages, he seems that type of guy. I think he demands loyalty and hard work and in return gives the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Rooney and the newspapers in his career for example monday - he’s terrible look what someone says happened tuesday - what a guy Wednesday- he taken his dog for a walk Thursday - he’s brought a new car Friday - a squirrel stole Rooney’s supper Saturday - Rooney sensational for whatever team Sunday - sensational news next week about Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the Mail is asking to believe is that in extending his career by 18 months, Derby offered to nearly double his salary? No. It staggers me whenever I see someone actually buy the Daily Mail, I cannot fathom it. great for wrapping fish and chips, also if you run out of loo paper.....

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The grain of truth is almost certainly there in terms of Rooney deferring some of the money due to him, and probably he has done that in dialogue with the club because he knows the others haven't been paid. Good man, good leader, also knows he needs the squad to pull together and this will help. The rest is speculative/BS and it's also being painted as a look at how bad Derby are so bad that Rooney is having to bail them out. OK the club are in a bad place, but, it's annoying.

Topram Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I’m sorry but no way is he on 90K a week as manager, as a player maybe but this is his first job no way he earns that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboto Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Matt Hughes is an awful journalist and the Daily Mail deserves him. He constantly sensationalises stories with false/unsubstantiated claims and rumours to divide opinion and create divisions within fan bases. Does any Derby fan seriously think that Rooney is on £90k per week as a rookie manager in the second tier of English football with our current circumstances? He constantly writes articles painting the club/team/board/staff in a bad light, I'm yet to see a positive article from him and won't hold my breath for him to do so anytime soon. The only difference in this MH article is that he's trying a different tactic to soften his usual anti-Derby agenda by saying how wonderful Rooney is to defer wages so that the awful DCFC can pay their players. Do we honestly think that a portion of £90k a week will actually make a big difference across a whole squad of playing staff in the grand scheme of things? For example if he was deferring half of the supposed 90k (he isn't), that would be 45k across 25-30 players - less than 2k a week per player. Not really gonna make a difference to the whole issue is it? Total wasteman of a journalist and now I've wasted a few minutes reading and putting my thoughts down on here so people don't get carried away and believe all the poo.

Rab a dab doo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Smart move getting him to retire from playing, thus saving money but getting as manager on a fraction of the cost with still the same 'publicity and newspaper interest' in the club (all be it at the moment for the wrong reasons).

nottingram Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 HEADLINE: ROONEY ON £90,000 A WEEK article: Rooney will be paid salary over a longer period of time just ridiculous reporting. If he is being paid his salary over a longer period of time then he isn’t on £90,000 a week is he. And that’s before you consider how ridiculous that figure is anyway.

I think most know that the Sun is a rag, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Since Wayne's feeling generous how about asking if he's interested in investing in the club along with one or two of his very rich mates and associates. This could be a short term solution out of this little mess we gotten ourselves into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to give this journalist ( i use the term flexibly) a break .. what is he to do ? He is agitating for a move, life can’t be easy for him, think about his mental health .. he writes for the Leeds United of News Papers, it is a sad existence so I think there is more to this than meets the eye .. I bet his agent told him to write that story in the hope he will be spotted by scouts in America who will put his name forward to the Bastion of truth, The National Enquirer. You wait .. get him there and Derby County will be live streaming matches to Martians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
