eccles the ram Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Was in London on Thursday and spoke to a couple of Rapid Vienna fans in town for the West Ham game. I wished them good luck and said I was a DCFC fan. Their response was 'ahhh Wayne Rooney coach. Minus 12 points. Good result yesterday 1 0'. If it wasn't for his name and status worldwide I don't think these fans from Austria would have known anything much about our club! Says it all really.

Says it all really. Many, many years ago, I was holidaying in Tunisia, when I went into the Souk to buy a leather bag, and there on the wall was a picture of Derby County. When I told the proprietor I was from Derby, he said, in very broken English, "Ah, Cloughie, Rams, very good, very good". I got a huge discount on the bag as well!! Our club, players, managers and reputation, name it what you will, began many years ago, way before Wayne Rooney or Frank Lampard, as Steve Bloomer was in demand before WWI and was coaching in Germany because of his reputation as a great footballer.

We got off of the ferry at Los Cristianos and my boy was wearing his Rams shirt. One of the staff stopped us to say “Derby County, Wayne Rooney, Up the Rams” followed by a thumbs up and a round of applause. Made my 8 year old boys day. The Wayne Rooney effect is immeasurable ?????? LeedsCityRam and Inverurie Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) From the interview in the Dutch press via Google translate: "Did you have such a bad relationship with Wayne Rooney at Derby? He would have cut your chair legs in his role as player/assistant coach, we read around your dismissal. "Well, I can immediately debunk that. I was one of the reasons he wanted to come to Derby. Fine guy, Wayne. We are still in regular contact. He aspired to the coaching profession and the question came up if I wanted him as a player / coach. As a footballer, I thought he was a giant." "He is also struggling as head coach at Derby. The club has gone 'into administration', say the preliminary stage of bankruptcy. Then you immediately get 12 points deducted. In my time, I was already sitting with the chairman around the table with three parties who wanted to buy Derby. Three times it didn't go through.''

Mucker1884 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I once saw a sign on Blackpool prom that said "BEWARE OF T'RAMS". I thought that was rather nice of the northern seaside resort folk.

Because it makes you proud and it's nice to be nice and it's great when outsiders choose to be positive about our club. There are a lot of wonderful people out there that don't believe all the gutter press and all the negative and nasty stuff written and spoken about our club. D.C.F.C.

rammieib Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 My genuine worry now is once he starts getting linked with other jobs, the ‘vibe’ around the club starts to drop. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Wouldn’t be surprised,he would always be tempted away by a premier league club once one came knocking..even before our nosedive into receivership. He is an ambitious sort,they all are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
