Mostyn6 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Rooney had it tougher by a long way, than Nigel inherited. Yet Nigel credited with “saving” Derby from relegation when they were never in danger! There are some curious folk suggesting bringing Nigel Clough back to replace Rooney! Rooney HAS actually saved Derby from relegation. He deserves more respect than he’s getting and certainly should be judged at least equally, if not better than Nigel Clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the point is, it could've been done a lot sooner. But today isn't the time for that argument, let's just wallow in relief. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardiff saved us from relegation and the boys having passion today because I saw no management tactics on display there.We just ran around a lot and for once it worked out into a draw. We have not won in fifteen games mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwram1973 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 It's been a terrible season but it's done now. Rooney will be manager next season so lets see what he can now do. He's already said after this season we'll play a certain way and not the game to game tactics of this season. He needs to have backing too and get his own squad together.

jimbo jones Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I look forward to first home game next season where everyone can turn up to give Wayne a good booing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Dhabi Ram Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Sorry, I need to add, better than Nigel Clough. The man who brought though Will Hughes and Jeff Hendrick?? Show some respect!! Wayne has, in my opinion done the complete opposite of Clough and seriously damaged the young talent we have. He had, Sibley, Bird, Knight, all touted for bigger things and they have regressed massively under Rooney. this maybe the poorest post on here for a long time.

Oldben Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The team requires a gigantic overall or its going to be a huge amount of loses under Rooney next season. The teams who beat us season still have better players and managers than Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He sounded like a frightened child before that match ) I honestly don't know what to think, its been an horrendous run. To be honest sorting the managers position is the least of our worries, if Mel doesnt sort out whats happening behind the scenes i dont think it will matter whos in charge next season, it will be another struggle. The most important change this summer wont be the manager...its whos in charge, either someone who can take us forward, or Mel deciding to give it another go. Obviously my reference to us going up was somewhat tongue in cheek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has not had a good end to the season. He might not be the manager to take us forward but the one man to blame for this mess is the man at the top.

Oh I agree completely that Mel needs to shoulder his share of the blame but that doesn't mean Rooney shouldn't have done better with the squad at his disposal. Cocu unfortunately had a style that didn't suit the league or the quality of players available in this league, however his philosophy was clear. This Derby squad is the worst we have had for quite a while, but even then is better than the results this season show. Rooney has demonstrated no philosophy, nor any tactical ability. I hate to say we have played like a one man team but if we didn't have Bielik, we would have been down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
