Board Of Directors Response To Open Letter - Blog - Derby County (dcfc.co.uk)

"...In recent years we have embarked on a multi-year programme to supplement our recruitment through in-house developed players.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight and requires patience in order to leverage the playing assets that we are developing. To lose sight of this objective at what is undoubtedly a transitional period would risk wasting the £20 million investment made in developing our Category 1 Academy, its playing assets, and the talented coaches we have recruited and retained.

Wayne Rooney has clearly outlined his plans to make improvements to the first team squad during the summer transfer window, and we will work closely with him to find the right balance of quality, experience, energy, determination, and youth development to again be competitive.

It goes without saying, with various players out of contract and loan agreements coming to an end, that there is significant work to be done to prepare the squad for the start of the 2021/22 season."

"There was the obvious shock of 'is that really Wayne Rooney watching us train?' to the astonishment of being told to sit around the centre-circle because he wanted to talk to them about the importance of big games and the preparation for it.

"His messaging was really strong. He said there could be no regrets."

Rooney sought former Liverpool academy striker Kane Drummond out for a one-to-one chat, which clearly had an effect given the teenager scored Rylands' first and was involved in the second.

Funny article on BBC site about Rooney attending training session at Warrington rylands ahead of the fa vase final. We're also giving them the use of Moor Farm apparently. 

Wonder if he was scouting for new players.... ?

Probably trying to pick up tips from their manager (27 year old part time carpet salesman Dave 'the rave' Vickers)

Yeah, why not? They're going to a cup final at Wembley: "The win sees Rylands make it into the final of the FA Vase for the first time in the club’s history. They will make the trip to Wembley next week on Saturday the 22nd of May. Kick off at 12:15pm!"
