Derby County - Rooney leaves with immediate effect (p69)

[Grassland Blue]

Probably County now Wayne's Derby has gone.View attachment 47913

I suggest he doesn't go anywhere near anything SHARP...!

That’s no more coverage of Derby just like Oldham, Valencia on Sky sports. Probably needs some fresh grannies

Well that's a relief. Whenever I go down to Pride Park with my Derby supporting son it won't feel dirty.

Signed as a player and we all knew the manager would end up getting sacked with him taking over.
That happened and he made them worse. Then he was very fortunate to avoid relegation with Rotherham having to play what seemed like every 5 minutes and then took them down.
Rag press will no doubt be hailing him as a success and ignoring he finished much lower in his 1st season than the previous manager they sacked and seems to me he was managing with zero expectations on him the last 2 years due to the off field issues but if the takeover goes through, he would be under more pressure next season to succeed so walked away

I watched a lot of them. He did well. There's a lot of talent in Rooney as a man manager though his tactics are a bit simple

England assistant job lined up

Derby have the best looking Copperess’s looking after away fans. Was gutted when Derby were relegated.

The truth is that Rooney, like so many talented players, is not a good manager. Just watching him as a TV pundit shows that he will never make the grade. He spent most of his playing career (mostly brilliant) in a very rigid formation where he played a very specific role. On TV he is not smart tactically. He reminds me a bit (though not as bad) as Stuart Pearce whose solution to everything was to "get in their faces."
When you add his addiction problems to the mix it is obvious that he does not have the skills to be a leading manager. And he doesn't need the money enough to plough a furrow in the lower leagues.

I seem to remember a Clowes from years back who defrauded mainly pensioners with dodgy financial products.
Perhaps Rooney thought this Clowes had a long list of grannie contacts and resigned when he discovered there was no new talent from this Clowes.
It will be interesting to see how they pronounce Clowes.

No, no. The unlikely West Mids Police at WBA had a cracker in the match where snow nearly abandoned the match. The coach had turned right towards the ground and someone spotted this lovely looker shouting 'hey look at her'. Everyone went to the right side of the bus which leaned right over. Thought it was going to tip
The young lady smiled sweetly and visibly blushed as if it was the first male attention she had ever had. No way.
