Of course. Wayne is a football man who has made a lot of money because he was very good at it, not a business man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never ever been sure about him from the time he went into the dressing room under Clement. Whatever points deductions are coming, take them all now. Barring a miracle, league one is inevitable. We don't want any more points deductions when we are there. First thing any new owner needs to do is give Rooney a new deal and tell him to take us back up. Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I doubt anyone at the club will have any say in how many more point deductions are coming our way, or when they/it happen(s). If EFL want to play the waiting game, and see how we do in our endeavours to claw back the 12 point deficit during this 21/22 season, before deciding what action to take next, and when, I am 100% certain they will. Covid is still out there, and still a favourite with many, who are looking for "any excuse" for slowing down any procedures! Not that they need an excuse, as it's their playground! Personally, I'll be amazed if we don't get hit with a points deduction during 22/23 season, regardless of what division we are in by then... that's assuming Derby County are still a thing, of course!

RoyMac5 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 "Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Rooney said he finds it disrespectful that Morris hasn't got in contact with him to explain Derby's situation. He claims he has tried to phone him, but no one has answered. He added he rang Morris from the team doctor's phone, to which he picked up." WTF?

Tombo Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Glad he was honest, but also dismayed that it just puts us back in the national news yet again. Gives the media their little soundbites to smear the club's name with. Firmly in Camp Rooney, but let's avoid a public bickering between Mel and Wayne. Suspect what he said is for the benefit of the players, club staff and fans because that's who he's trying to stick up for. But like I said, we don't need it. Rooney says one thing, Mel denies it. We'll never know the truth, let's move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
