RoyMac5 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It's a rehash of the Telegraph article and not but alleged and supposition. "Derby County manager Wayne Rooney and his coaching team are thought to have marginalised Steve McClaren from the first-team decision-making process in recent weeks, according to The Telegraph. The Telegraph have reported that Rooney has decided to not involve former England and Derby manager McClaren as much in terms of the decision making on team selections and tactics. While the report adds that although he is the club’s technical director and not on the coaching staff, he has still been marginalised at a crucial period in the campaign."

Maybe, maybe not. I just think it was silly to put McClaren in such an ill-defined role. Or if it was well-defined, then it was silly of McClaren to step over the mark.

I must admit that I have no idea what he does but I doubt he was brought in and told to just hang around in the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Mel loves the publicity, so Rooney fits in with want he has always done, Mel has stars in his eyes, not a football thinking man at all But yes Steve Mac had the experience we needed at the time to get us out of this mess.

Coneheadjohn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Let’s all make things up! Maclaren was sidelined after he demanded the first 2 signings are Chris Martin and Richard Keogh.

May Contain Nuts Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Maybe baalocks, maybe not. Given Rooney's defensive reaction when asked about McClaren's role previously (when things were going quite well), and his increasingly stubborn character in recent interviews now he's really up against it, I wouldn't rule it out.

Comrade 86 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Lots of folk keen to dismiss this as 'speculation' but does anyone actually have any grounds for doing so? Were it untrue, you'd think the club would be keen to dispel the rumours. We'll probably never know, but I'd not be surprised either way. It's very hard to look at the way we've set up and played in recent times and say it's in any way reminiscent of a McClaren side, that much is clear.
