Tyler Durden Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 28 minutes ago, Ramarena said: It’s certainly possible that it’s a strained relationship given the takeover falling through. It also wouldn’t surprise me if he walked away/lost interest. We all saw the Rooney that came back at the start of the season, unfit, lazy, unmotivated and seemingly disinterested. Not a good reflection on him and gives serious cause for concern. It's the hope that kills you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Actually thinking further on this article. Sure it’s speculative........but didn’t we see this sort of thing in the build up to Rooney’s appointment? We had lots of stories of Cocu losing the dressing room, Rooney talking to players behind Cocu’s back, Rooney preparing a coaching team ready to takeover, etc, etc. Back then Rooney was built up as the saviour to wrestle the club from the clutches of Cocu. Now we get the first story of Rooney’s strained relationship with Mel. Will the stories accelerate from here and how will they portray our club? This story is already treading the “poor little Rooney” path. What will be next.......and like last time......who’s doing the briefing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recollection of his time at Derby was a disaster , poor football , signing of Anya ( took another year for Vydra to come good ) and his sacking was for undisclosed disciplinary reasons which Pearson never appealed. Rumours of disciplinary reasons at Watford as well. Nothing to do with Mel’s ego more Pearson’s if anyone. He is known as a strange character and lives up to that. No success anywhere apart from Leicester , he did well for them no doubt but he would not have been one at Derby and I very much doubt he will be a success anywhere in the future. So no I wouldn't prefer him to the current manager who I will judge next season not this. You using the term idiot to describe Rooney Is very disrespectful That's not true. Leicester did all their big spending between Pearson's terms. In their promotion season their wage bill was falling quite rapidly. He was really poor at Derby, but his Leicester record was superb. From what I heard, Mel had no choice but to sack him. I still feel that it's a shame as I reckon that given time he would have taken us up, but he forced Mel's hand.

24Charlie Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 It wouldn’t surprise me if Rooney has briefed a friendly journalist at the Mail to get an excuse out there to pin relegation on rather than have it tarnish his own fledgling managerial reputation.

I’m hoping it’s just a one off random report. But we’ll see in the next couple of weeks if anymore come out. The feel of this was definitely Rooney’s being let down though so a bit of a concern. And here’s the problem with the celebrity appointment. Loads of poo follows them around and they attract too much attention. Even if Rooneys side isn’t briefing, these kind of articles could have a very negative effect if it gets into the heads of the players! Why should I work for this guy if he’s planning his own exit? It won’t help our performances whether he’s instigating it or not unless it’s addressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yani P Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 So another BS apparently baseless story in of all places the Mail and some are quick to want to believe it..just reads as more click bait based an nothing at all by the looks of it.. same as the BS stories when he was playing..none of those stories were ever proven to have any foundation whatsoever yet regularly get quoted as if they were fact..not even shoddy journalism..its worse than that..

So knows what he is doing. Giving this a bit more thought,and having read up on him, there is obviously character and man-management issues, especially when you brag about voting for the BNP. And finally, I do concede to your point on being disrespectful, and apologies for any offence. No, excuse but a tad irate at the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill health and other bits and bobs, NC made sure they could support all the above without it impinging on their training or playing.

lrm14 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 On 27/03/2021 at 00:49, Ibby said: ROONEY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH Derby OWNER STRAINED Wayne Rooney's relationship with Derby owner Mel Morris has become strained following the collapse of the proposed takeover by Sheik Khaled earlier this month. The former England captain had received repeated assurances that the sale of the club would go through before he took the manager's job. The uncertainty surrounding the club's ownership has added to Rooney's problems as he battles to keep Derby in the Championship, with four players sold to raise funds during the January transfer window and more likely to leave in the summer if Morris remains in charge. Rooney has also had to contend with players' grievances at not being paid on time on several occasions this season. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9407797/AHEAD-GAME-Manager-Graham-Potter-faces-inquest-Brighton.html A hit piece about Derby written by Matt Hughes?

Pearson may not have spent the dosh but he benefitted having a squad they couldn’t afford ( a bit like the stadium they got by going bust ?)
