This is the same wife and kids he had when he took this gig. As you say not a good look. It's been a baptism of fire for sure. Even so , saying you need a break after only 18 months in management, well doesn't sound to me like he will be able to handle football management long term. Wasn't it more a case of "Taking a break after 20 years in high profile football"? ?♂️ Miggins, Kathcairns and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Mel told us that Stretford contacted him to offer the services of Rooney and it would be a massive money spinner. Mel went for it.Did he know about Stretford’s ambition to own a club? Strange how everything unravelled after that. But in the end did Mel try to help us by not wanting to deal with Ck/PS/Wazza ? It’s the FA investigating now not the EFL. What will they find? RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously we don’t know yet hence the debate on whether they should be cheaper than last year, due to our relegation, the same as last year or increased. I’d be amazed if they go up and will be quite happy with a price freeze. Due to the Covid situation many of us didn’t have to pay anything last season and I can’t quite remember how much it was the year before. £500 and something for where I sit I seem to recall. dcfcreece1601 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has spoken about it but I think he was originally aiming at a lower level. He and Rooney have a company worth millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just covering their backs to avoid being sued. Doesn't mean it's not the reason. RadioactiveWaste and jimtastic56 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester Ram Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm in two minds about him going. First off i get that he's been through a lot in the job and it's been stressful and don't begrudge him salling it a day. HOWEVER, the other part of me is very dissapointed. He made quite bold statements about how he was committed and wanted to build something here. I can't help thinking he's bottles it and doesn't back himself to do a job in league one with no excuses to fall back on. His stock is pretty good right no, he can say we would have been mid table with next to no squad or funds last year so great achievement. Maybe he didn't want to riak being average in L1 and loosing that Kudos. Heard rumours about time with family and doing his badges etc but if he backed himself he would have stayed and built something IMO. As a caveat i am of course grateful for one of the best and exciting seasons in my living memory and wish him well. Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His win rate was terrible and as for his loyalty - I don’t think he showed Cocu very much. Stretford has had a re-think and getting Rooney’s coaching badges is the way to go. We have a new owner and he will decide who is manager. I am looking forward to getting my season tickets and glad the circus is over. I'm happy you are happy in what appears to be a minority feeling towards the guy. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you spend loads of time in the nice warm concourses while switching the heating off at home you could probably make money on the deal.

londonbridgeram Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I may have missed posts earlier but ... Isn't the 32 Red deal ending now. And isn't the 32 Red deal been helping to finance Rooney's time at Derby. And, just think that the last season might just be the most important season in Rooney's managerial career. I thought the same about Lampard and so far I'm right. If only the lad wasn't so ... And so wondering. Could we possibly pay Rooney so much. Of course not. Any money we may have needs to be directed elsewhere. Austerity is back. With or without Rooney we need to rebuilding with youth (if there are any left) and 3 or 4 f those old troopers who will love the chance to get stuck in. Football, being their game.
