Get Rooney before United

He's doing a good job really, and dismissing it as 'oh derby would currently be only midtable without the deductions' is really unfair an dismissive. Will be interesting to see where his career goes.
 

To me he is doing a fantastic job. With this patchwork squad of kids and some older players. Seems they would run through a brickwall for him. He knows what is possible with this team. Solid in defence with a outstanding centerback pair of Jags and Curtis Davies and grab a goal and it is difficult to beat them. Will be a high achievement to stay up.
 
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.

He has galvanised the team , the club and the fans under difficult circumstances. Not saying we should get him in but that is exactly what we have needed for the past 5 appointments , it’s not easy to do
 
My thoughts exactly.

50 mil is apparently the asking price, which includes the stadium and takes them out of debt.

Wayne is worth approx £122 mil.

Why would he want to be a chairman? He is set for life , knows nothing about business and I’m assuming if he wants to be involved in football at the top level again, he won’t want to be at debt forever. Buying a club like derby could potentially wipe out his entire fortune pretty easily, I mean , they have literally just gone bankrupt
