At the end of last season, I wanted him and the associated media circus out of Derby, but he has galvanised this club and I have thoroughly enjoyed this season (on the field I should add). If he goes to Everton, he goes with my good wishes and gratitude. Exactly. Last half of last season was painful to watch, put simply we were abysmal. Some of the worst performances I have ever seen. However, as you say , against all of the odds he has galvanised the squad, we look like a team, we have momentum and if somehow we can keep most of the squad together, who knows. He has done remarkably well ??? LeedsCityRam, Van der MoodHoover and Wistaston Ram 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I was critical of Rooney last year, but crikey has he won me over. This season he’s shown he’s got what it takes to be a top class manager. Through all the adversity he’s built a team that, in my opinion, would do anything he asked and he’s got the fans on side.

PistoldPete Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 He is a rubbish manager and he tells me he hates Everton couldn't wait to get away and move to Manchester. Manchester is a much better place than Liverpool so he tells me , but nowhere is better than Derby. Caerphilly Ram and kevinhectoring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 He’s done well this season and deserves the credit. Its strange that he’s doing better with a weaker squad, but maybe that’s down to the inexperience he had last season, which let’s be honest was utterly dire. He made progress at the start of this season but there were still obvious improvements that could be made. It wasn’t till Morrison was suspended that it finally seemed to click in his head what this division requires. Since then he’s really upped his game and has us playing much better than expected. He may have stumbled across the solution, but he deserves credit for recognising it and sticking with the new approach instead of going backwards. He’s made us solid, got us playing quicker and finally ina style that works in the Championship, we are now a dangerous team to play against. Well done Wayne.

Chester40 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Looking at their comments, almost all Everton fan are interpreting what he said as a 'come and get me plea'.... If he stays, I think people will judge his efforts at rebuffing advances more kindly that Steve Mac! Strange old times, the manager not being poached, the local Derby and a relegation dogfight...all seem like things to be hopeful about but not to be too concerned about either.

I agree with you - remarkable and a completely unforseen turnaround with largely the same set of players.

I didn't want to mention Curtis because I really hope Rooney stays. He deserves to bring us out the other side of all this heartache. Rooney - and the players, especially Curtis - have been immense. But I do hope that Curtis - in whatever role - stays with the football club for a very long time.

Comrade 86 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Wanted him gone after last season and made no bones about it. Also said that if we kept him another season, I'd be 100% behind him and the team. Watching some of the passing movements in recent games I was reminded of some of the gorgeous one touch football we played under Mac1. That's pretty high praise for someone who appeared completely lost last season and has a threadbare squad made up of talismanic, but creaking old warriors and kids who probably don't shave yet. Honestly, I think the personal growth of Rooney, Rosenior and critically the team itself has been astounding, especially given the backdrop against which it's manifested. Will he go? My hunch would be that he would if asked, but I don't think he'll be flashing his knickers like Lampard did. He's worked hard, learned from his errors and is now starting to impress a style of play on the group. What's more, he seems genuinely happy at the moment as does Liam which did not always look likely. Obviously I'd be gutted to see him go, but he's owes us nothing at all. I don't think there'd be any of the acrimony associated with Lampard's departure at all, indeed I think most Rams fans would sincerely wish him well. What is comforting right now is the knowledge that should Everton indeed come calling, we have a ready-made replacement in Curtis Davies.
