Wayne Rooney… A simple yes or no?

[mccole]

Wayne Rooney's Derby

Hmmmmm?

 

[brieverton]

A huge ask and burden on him. He is not ready. No.

 

[barneygumble]

Just said to my mates there…

When the pressure was on Derby, the finished last season with 1 win in 15 games.

That terrifies me, absolutely terrifies me. He’d be daft to leave Derby before end of the season, but scares me that people think he’s the answer.

 

[The Trinity.]

It's a yes from me. Nobody knows if he is ready or not. Only one way to find out. Koeman....Anchelotti and Benetiz were all ready ( experienced). And look how that all panned out.
but first for me it's Duncan Ferguson for a few matches. See if he can recreate that atmosphere and most importantly that result that he got against Chelsea a few years back. Ball boys get ready. Brace yourselves.
Now wouldn't that be something. Ferguson getting a win against Villa.
so it's a yes from me about Rooney. Assisted by Ferguson. Bet that Ferguson then won't have to sit quietly on the bench. He'd be a proper assistant manager. With proper input. Bet it wasn't him who insisted that Rondon always played. Or that Coleman played at left back.
Up The Toffees. Ferguson's soon to be Toffees. Then Rooneys Toffees. And if that don't work.........I'm beat.

Wonder if he did come in we could get lingard till the end of the season

I think Rooney would be a worse appointment than Martinez. No experience, no real pressure on him this year at Derby, defying expectations yes but I thought the aim was moving away from this ‘old boys brigade’. If he was anyone else then wouldn’t even be an afterthought.

Give this week to Ferguson.

He's dealing with worse at Derby

The more I think about it, the more I think it fits the bill right now.

England Striker done it all at club level in the modern era. Dom and Ricky can learn from him.

Straight away, you get Someone who loves the club, and not just because he played here, but because he is a blue.

Could have jibbed Derby and no one would have blamed him, getting rewards from his players for fighting with them through adversity, exactly what is needed here in the short term.

No other manager can keep Duncan if Duncan doesn't get it.

Think Rooney has a greater impact on players than Duncan would, on name and reputation alone, that is in the management of and retaining and recruitment side too.

Would have something to prove, clearly wants to progress, and would probably want to turn around the doubters that he has always had since he left us as a kid.

Follows the trend of ex-players to manage us that win a trophy as a manager, one for the omen hunters and romantics.

Didn't want him back as a player, but right now makes the most sense to come as manager.

But it’s risk free.

Derby are expected to be relegated. There’s no pressure.

Meanwhile the Everton job is the biggest poison chalice in British football.

The way we're run I expect us to be relegated anyway

 

[Chewbacca]

It’s an absolute not yet from me

 

[greener]

I fear Wayne lacks the skill set to succeed in the job.

Though it would be entertaining, which would be a nice change.

Don’t do it to Rooney then.

I personally think it’s too soon. This season he’s done nothing but impress me, I just can’t shake the notion that it’s because it’s no pressure.

Every game is a cup final. Would love him to be a success here, but right now? It’s too risky.

Too early. A few seasons if he does well.
