That’s clear, but he has so far shown the ability to motivate players, if not to organise them well. The bizarre position we are in is, his agent Stretford seems to be lining up our next buyer. So we’ll go from having an owner who was trigger happy when it came to managers to one who has no gun. I think it’s quite possible Derby will be the only team Rooney manages. And that he might do it for quite a long time Kingpin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Obviously nothing will change while we are in administration. But Rooney’s hopes of staying in situ with a new ownership in place look to be receding by the game. We have a very tough run through November and December. The way things are trending, we might not win another game in 2021. Blackpool at home, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Rooney is the main attraction for potential new owners. They've heard of him. Owen87ITK, RoyMac5, Chris_Martin and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 You can moan and pick fault, but the problem with Derby is obvious. We do not have an out and out goalscorer. This was a problem with the club for about 3 seasons now and you can't blame Rooney for that. Lets hope we get bought and the new owners can supply some monies for the January transfer window. Rooney being a prolific scorer should be able to identify a young striker possibly from league 1 or 2 because i don't think we will be in the market for a Premier or championship standard player. Then in March onwards will be the time to judge him and his coaches uttoxram75, Ramifications and Miggins 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Tup Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Rediculous post. Without Rooney we could have given up before the season started! Possibly the worst squad ever to play in the championship and suffering the demoralising 12pts, who could have done better? uttoxram75 and Owen87ITK 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 If Rooney was as switched on as people suggest, he would have brought in his own people when he was offered the job permanently. We’re always bemoaning the lack of a goalscorer. How did Luton find Adebayo? How did Blackpool find Yates and Lavery? How did Swansea find Piroe? Personally I think coaching is the biggest issue but it has to be said that our scouting and recruitment is very uninspiring, restrictions or not.

Andicis Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 It's pathetic our fans turning on Rooney. Absolutely pathetic. We have a threadbare squad and have been overperforming. Now we inevitably start to struggle with our lack of options and immediately some fans are throwing the toys out the pram. Get real. Nobody we could appoint could get more out of this squad than Rooney. He's doing a good job. bcnram, mr kia, jimtastic56 and 10 others 7 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can say for sure, we have a really thin squad with pretty glaring holes up front and in the centre back position. Who, with Derby's none existent budget, would you propose could do better?
