Yarrgh
Player Valuation: £70m
I actually agree with everything here with the caveat that he needs to prove himself far more than for a season with what is a basket case situation for Derby.In fairness to Rooney , in his written articles over the past few years he’s always come across as a knowledgable coach with great analytical skills, all I think he currently lacks is managerial experience which will come.
He’s really done a fantastic job at Derby with a bunch of free transfers and Academy products, anybody who thinks “ but he’d only be mid table even without the points deduction “ clearly has no knowledge of the situation he’s been in. Take a look at the Derby fans forum, they’re firstly amazed that he’s actually stayed around and even more pleased with the job he’s doing. It’s rare that you see almost 100% backing for a ,anager.
I think he’ll come back and manage us one day , and by then he’ll have had more managerial experience and Bill and the current boys and gals will be long gone, so he at least has a decent crack at our job.
What amounts to 13th place with a set up like hehasto work with is testament to him and the players. At the rate of point accumulation he will probably have them safe and would be far and away make him the manager of the season in England.
