ollycutts1982 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I wasn’t overall happy when Rooney took over and last season didn’t do much to change my mind. Fast forward to today and I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have. The way he is conducting himself throughout all this is commendable. You can hear in his voice that he cares for the club, players and fans and he has the desire to stick it out. Well done Wayne keep at it, we need you more than you need us. ??

Derbados Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Just now, Woodypecker said: Rooney not heard from Mel since August 9th. No phone calls, no text. A disgrace, no respect from MM, but Rooney remains fully committed to the club. And yet Mel had the nerve to sit there praising Rooney in his interview the other day.

Woodypecker Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It's still a shock to learn just how duplicitous and negligent the ex-owner has been for month upon month. Miggins, RadioactiveWaste, r_wilcockson and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he will have to sell them probably to a new owner or we won’t have a new owner We know who owns the stadium and the administrators - who have indirect control over it through MSD - have told us the club will not be separated from it. So I don’t think that should be a great concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodypecker Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 'Mel wasn't sincere, wasn't heartfelt enough, wasn't honest' - Wayne's comments about MM's meeting with him this week. It seems MM spoke to them all for 45 minutes, but WR says we need to 'put him behind us....'

Miggins Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Wayne thanked the fans for their incredible support and the pride that they given the team and all at the club. Players are so grateful and are playing for the fans. They may not win every match but they will not stop trying. He also said that he will put up two league tables for the players, one showing where we are actually and the other to show where we would be without the 12 point deduction., so they keep their spirits up and can see how well they are doing. How lucky we are to have him. TheresOnlyWanChope, Ram-Alf, Crewton and 11 others 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 My worry with what Rooney has said is that he will plan for League 1 if we get more points deductions, which makes sense, but he also said the EFL wont want that as it may discredit the rest of the Championship season - this may put off the EFL issuing us the additional point deductions this season and may wait until next season Ramarena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamUltraRam Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I think I love Rooney It's now only coming out what he's had to deal with over the last 10 months Also he admitted when asked, but with dignity, that he HAS been paying for some things himself Respect Edited September 23, 2021 by SamUltraRam Miggins, Andicis, Papahet and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggins Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 It's a priority for him to get behind all the staff, to chat to everyone and to be available to answer everyone's questions. He will engender a spirit of faith, trust, pride, openness and honesty at the club. He believes in the importance of clear and regular communication and has asked the administrators to maintain a daily talk with him about what is happening so that he can give answers to fans. What really came across was his care and concern for all the staff. He really is a star and he will not leave us in the lurch. A genuinely good guy, so much praise for others and so much dignity and self control. My hero. Zag zig, Alph and RadioactiveWaste 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 43 minutes ago, RadioactiveWaste said: They've taken on that discussion now as they control the club. The situation is as it was before, it needs resolving. Going from Mel's interview on Sunday, we have at least 1 breach of £4m which also protentially affects things in other periods - hence the words about being punished for the same thing multipul times - but I think it's inevitable we get more points deducted this season. The key thing is going to be digesting everything that's coming in this season so next season we at least start on 0 without deductions hanging over us. They obviously can't say anything other than what they saaid in the presser at the current moment, but my bet would be on us getting the -9. If it is true that the EFL knew we had changed the way we did the amortisation change and accepted it which was legal then all the common sense would suggest any point deductions related to that should be a suspended point deduction to not do it again? And in all probability that’s all it should ever had been. There is an opportunity for the EFL to call it a day.
