Some managers may have opted against Davies given his age and coming back from the serious injury. I’m not saying we should have but some would. Rooney chose to resign him - he makes the decisions as manager. So to say it was nothing to do with him is plainly not true Nobody did,did they? And Davis was a no brainer really,Wayne didn't have much option to be fair. The point was that he's not bringing in the quality loans that some state he was,with his name.

I think we judge that when he has some money to spend which he hasn’t had during his time as manager Quite a few fans of other teams I speak to think Rooney is doing a great job under the circumstances he’s faced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm judging him purely on his performance as a manager,not on his name and the football I'm watching every week hasn't inspired me,he's not got the best out of this squad i.m.o.

So for crying out loud get off his back and support him and the team. willipa, Foreveram, Crewton and 9 others 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean that on the forum tho that we can't have our opinion on the manager and whatever owner we currently have mate. That's why we have forums,it's to discuss and debate the club and it's goings on ?

I know that it just annoys me when people having a go at him when he has had not a penny to spend on players and had make do on players that no body else wants.

As I say,his name in reality doesn't mean that much over any other champ manager,he just hasn't got the credentials in coaching,yet,that more experienced managers such as Mac utilised to attract talent in. How come if maclaren is so good no other teams want him as manager. Hes made enough money out of us to be able to live comfortly jobless.

It’s Mel who left us in this financial mess! Re curtis - Rooney still resigned him whatever…and the signing of jags was top drawer given our limitations I couldn't agree more but regarding the signings especially Curtis was a good signing but i don't think he took much persuading,he didn't sign because of Rooney, he signed because of his commitment to the club whoever the manager was.

If they've already got the funds too and are going to try and recoup their money through selling crypto shares through fans it could actually be a real thing. Strange that this would come out on Christmas day though. Try getting that passed by the EFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I hope that whoever is announced Rush is not part of the equation. He is tied in heavily with an agency and I simply do not trust him to be able to separate his work there with his involvement in running a football club. He will look after himself and the players first. Regardless of how poorly he may have been treated by Mel, I don't trust him.

Crewton Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Seems that some folk have forgotten about the embargo restrictions that we've been operating under : squad size, wage size contract length, fees allowed (none), loan deals no longer than 1/2 season when most clubs (and the players themselves) want their kids to have a full year out and most don't want them to go to relegation certainties - and it comes across like they're just doubling down on their opinion of Rooney. It feels quite disingenuous. Zag zig, RoyMac5, angieram and 8 others 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All one can hope is that as he is 'good at his job', then if kept on a 'tight leash' he could work well for the club. Mel allowed him free rein, much to his (and our) cost.

It feels quite disingenuous. Absolutely agree here. I also think that Rooney, if he could bring anyone in, wanted experienced, seasoned pros to compliment our own youngsters/be mentors to them in what we all knew was going to be a very difficult season.

In my mind it's like an MP responsible for green energy working for an oil giant or something, clear conflict of interest.
