Sam "fiducary duty" Rush. I'm not seeing too many ethically sound benevolent billionaires wishing to aquire Derby County. duck it, do just say to Fawaz, go on then, have a go.

The unstoppable force of GSE's tight fistedness meets the imovable object of Sam Rush's fiduciary duty. One thing would be for sure, Nigel Clough would not be involved.

So the answer to your question is ‘no’ I've heard this a few times now & starting to wonder if Rooney is looking to replicate David Beckham's club ownership role at Inter Miami but closer to home. Rooney knows his strength of his brand. He knows the power of this to leverage interests particularly in a social media/influencer age. He knows we're an underperforming club with potential to be bigger & successful and with all the infrastructure in place. Similar sized clubs to us are profitable in the top division & one is in a Champions League spot. We're also close to his usual stomping ground in Cheshire. How would that dovetail with his managerial ambitions? Not a clue, assuming that's actually what he still wants to do. He knows the likely pressure when crowds return. He also knows that Lampard struck lucky with the Chelsea gig but got unceremoniously dumped 18 months later. Might Rooney actually be more interested in a club building project as a Director of Football/co-owner, managing the overall club rather than just the first team. I just don't ever see him as a world class manager/tactical innovator & that is the level he would need to reach to manage top Prem clubs. Something is making him stay at Derby despite the constant turmoil & unpaid player wages...he certainly doesnt need a manager's wage & his path to a top job is a long long way fron where he is now.

Gringo Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 My local MLS team is Charlotte FC and the CEO is Tom Glick who for those recent fans, was the CEO at Derby County some 10 years ago, before moving to the same role at Manchester City Charlotte FC share a 75,500 capacity stadium with Carolina Panthers the local NFL team, both are owned by David Tepper the richest owner in the NFL with net worth of $12 billion. I can only hope that Tom Glick is keeping an eye on the Rams sale situation with an eye for a bargain. r_wilcockson, ariotofmyown, David Graham Brown and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting theory. Rooney must by now be aware that neither the current owner nor any of the jokers who claim to be in a position to buy the club offer anything, other than making the current situation more dire than it already is. Maybe there is something else attracting him to the DCFC, which to outsiders must be looking increasing like a basket case of a football club.

He and his acolytes will probably figure his job as manager is most secure if he has the owner in his corner. Don’t think Alonso is a guy who gets in anyone’s corner, except in order to punch them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
