Wayne Rooney - new manager at DC United (P55)

I know it's slightly off topic but I've always wondered, exactly how close was Rooney to joining City back in 2010? Or was it all a ruse?
I have read that it was a ploy by the pisscan and Gill to persuade Uncle Malc and his spawn to award the follically-challenged one a bumper new contract

About as close as he was to going to China within a couple of minutes of us beating Monaco 5-3 in a fantastic game of football. - 24 hours later more football had been played, our game was forgotten by the media and Shrek put away the soy sauce.
 
The only ones I feel sorry for are his sons. The eldest is now old enough to access social media. The kids in school could give him a hard time. He is also old enough to understand what this must be doing to his Mum and definitely old enough to know right from wrong and to realise what a stupid old man his father is.

The only sort of saving grace is that school is out for the summer, it’s a 9 day wonder and the furore might have calmed down by September.

Poor kids.
Totally agree Eccles
 
They deserve better.
It was pretty obvious from his first press conference that Rooney would never make a manager. So many brilliant players are disasters as managers. I think it is because many of them play with such focus and intensity and tunnel vision in their own role that they never see the big tactical picture. Some of his comments as a pundit have been absurdly stupid. People like Dean Saunders and Stuart (get in his face) Pearce are the same. Derby must have been mad to recruit Rooney.
 
He will be adored by the youngsters and nervous to be in his company as he’s still Wayne Rooney.
Think it's the mother's and grandmother's that would have more need to be nervous in his company

Completely agree, intelligence he simply does not have and the events of this week simply are unacceptable to anyone in management, I simply cannot believe Derby did not sack him immediatly.
