Half fan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Now we know that administration could slash the cost of buying DCFC, wouldn't it be great if Wayne led a consortium to buy it? He has the example of his MU pals buying Salford City. But DCFC gives him a proper club to buy. Then he wouldn't have to put up with rubbish owners at Derby or wherever else he plied his trade later. Come on Wayne, you Ram! You've shown your leadership credentials and achieved a mass of goodwill. Now go the whole way please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @Footymum2017 suggested back in late April/early May that Rooney was connected with an interested buyer. Its clear Rooney & Morris haven't been communicating properly for some time & some cryptic tweets from Nixon a few weeks back suggesting it had got very political & petty internally within the club. It would also tally with Rooney sticking around as from a pure management POV, this job is as a bad a gig in the entire League. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnymw Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Maybe wishful thinking, but I think there's reasons why Wayne might want to stay here - particularly proximity to Manchester and his family. If he was able to bring us back from the edge of calamity then into the prem in a few years, it would be an epic story that would do him no harm whatsoever, and he'd still have plenty of managerial years left in him. And there's this story which broke last Friday - although I think that date coinciding with news of the administration is likely coincidental as his liquidation would likely have been planned months ago.https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/wayne-rooney-set-pocket-around-25012530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 He rightly said he wouldn't be that stupid. Why would anyone gamble on football. Its a real passion project because the chance of wasting your money is high. What he's doing and saying right now is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just ridiculous if its the case - must have been a real fallout. Heard a story about Fergie advising ex-players on clubs to manage saying that the key criteria should be the owners & how well they could work with them. Must be a reason why Rooney has gone so clearly against the grain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney telling the world the club had lost its pride and dignity might have been part of the reason. Or could just have been a consequence no surprise MM left it to the club to inform Rooney about the filing RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
