Personally I think it is worse as a manager. Being a manager comes with far greater responsibility, he sets the standard through the club. Have our expectations dropped so much that we are ok with our manager getting pissed in a nightclub and allowing himself to be in this situation? Especially given our current situation. We need leadership and responsibility. When you step up to the big role you have to act the part. This isn't that.

Nah. It's more embarrassing for us that it's happened to him now he's our manager, but it's not worse behaviour. His ability to perform his job won't materially be affected by having a few jars on a weekend, whereas it definitely would as a player.

This is all immaterial anyway as he was almost certainly getting pissed during his playing career as well.

Fair enough but he was basically asleep and having the piss taken out of him.

Yeah I know, I was just pointing out that such a premise exists. I imagine they probably told him he had to have been naughty before they'd be bothered! ?

I’ve lost any remaining respect I had for him. Compare Rooney’s  with the gentlemanly behaviour of Cocu. Different class !

Yip, tend to agree with you. 

As manager, you have influence and power at a club. Show weakness and it gives players an out when the going gets tough.

By putting yourself in compromising positions, you are risking blackmail / bribery etc and that can have an effect on the club.

Im not saying that was the end game for the girls, but we've all seen "stings" in the past, and Wayne doesn't seem to make good choices with a beer in his belly.

Talks about bringing pride & dignity back to dcfc and then gets caught like that. 
Terminally stupid hypocrite.

Really looking forward to the takes on this one.

I’m guessing Jason should of been stronger in the challenge and, if anything, this only justifies calls to bring Wayne back into the starting XI?

Is he on a secret hitman mission for Steve Gibson?

(Ok Wayne,do knighty before the friendly and then do the nightclub jig we discussed..don't let me down like you did at the end of last season)

Is that normal? Managers slide tackling their players.

Genuine question - I have no idea what goes on in training sessions.

Christ knows,I've never heard of them actually knobbling a tenth of their own playing squad before though.

The club has officially turned into an episode of Shameless.

The club can't sell the players you want to keep if they're injured

"The incident occurred at Pennyhill Park, the luxury hotel and spa in Surrey where Derby recently stayed for a pre-season training camp, with Rooney taking part to make up the numbers due to the club's lack of players.

It is understood that Rooney's challenge with Knight was a "50-50" and an accident, but it is the 20-year-old academy product who is now facing an extended period out of action."

On its own, Rooney being pictured in a hotel room with women would just be a matter for him and his family. It's embarrassing for him.

Thing is, the timing of this is shocking. We're at our lowest ebb for a number of decades. Both on and off the field. The last thing Derby need is more negative press. We've got an owner trying to sell the club, negotiate with the EFL and deal with increasing debts at an uncertain time for revenues due to COVID. Add this into the mix, on top of this Jason Knight debarcle and you've got to ask yourself, what was he thinking? Or not thinking.

We're less than two weeks away from the first game of the season and our manager thought it a good idea to go and get rat arsed after loosing a friendly. That's the bigger problem for me, I don't care about the photos and hotel room. I care more about the complete lack of professionalism and focus at a critical juncture in the clubs history. Whether its Rooney's fault or not that we're in the mess we're in, he should be making sure his actions are only for the better of the club. His have not been.
