I'd expect so, so if there's any truth in this story it suggests we're looking for a way to have him leave without a payoff. And, as has been said, if we try to force the issue we're more than likely to lose as we've such an appalling record in the courts. Everything is a mess. Maybe ask him to resign. Failing that suspend him, then ask him again, nicely of course ? jimtastic56 and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 In isolation, I'd normally ignore this as 'former football player now manager being a little silly' nonsense. A consequence of selecting the likes of famous types as managers. Likewise with the Knight incident. It's been sensationalised, and in isolation, chances are it was something that could happen anywhere. If it was two players, it'd just be frustrating and a slice of bad luck But it's just another poke in the eye of Derby fans that are only receiving bad news associated with the club at the moment. As others pointed out, he spoke after the Salford game about restoring some pride and dignity to Derby County, only to then put himself in these types of situations. Adds to the sense of disillusionment that I know I'm feeling, and I'd be willing to bet some other people are.

Suspending someone for 'no reason' - falling asleep won't do it I'd suggest. Plus asking them to resign. Well that would be seen as constructive dismal. ?

DCFC1388 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 IF Rooney goes this close to the season, surely we need someone lined up ready to come in? What happens to the triallists? They're here because Rooney wants to sign them, a new manager may not and that will set us back even further. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I would like to blame Rooney for everything...the squad, team, tactics are as threadbare as I have ever seen. It's an absolute disgrace how we have been stripped back to almost nothing. Last season I didn't see how CKR could carry the team yet somehow we are much less equipped this season. So, I kinda agree we need some stability to try and create some kind of team but I also don't think he is the right man. Anyone coming in is going to have very little to work with, but then again it's not like they are going to be rocking the boat...it's a sinking ship with massive holes in it and the captain keeps blowing more into it!

MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I don't want him here. Never have. The last thing this club needs right now is an inexperienced manager learning the ropes. On the flip side, if we said him now. What happens next? Most of, if not all, the trialists will go too. Leaving us even more screwed. No manager in their right mind would take the reigns of this club at the moment. Unless a takeover is sorted and players are allowed to be bought in. Sacking him would make no sense.
