    Rooney Gone?

    Doubtful, Mrs F dexcribes this guy variously as a 'gobsh*te', an 'eejit' and 'The Kenny Burns Of the North' (I pointed out that KB is also a jock but I get her point)

    But you never know...

    It's just someone having a guess, not surprised that this kind of thing gets published as news.

    But the truth we all know, is that if Wayne does well, he'll get a better offer, if he doesn't do well, we're in the poo. Either way, if he doesn't get quick success, we lose, such is the way of such appointments.

    Shouldn't the thread read Rooney going? As I know your a stickler for accuracy.

    Doubt a word of it is true.

    That Daily Record article dates from January 12th. A time when Lamps was still at Chelsea.

    There might be a grain of truth in it but I doubt it. The stereorypical view of Rooney was always that he is a thick, unintelligent Scouse dumbo. IMO he has shown that he has a head on his shoulders which he puts to good use. That would point to him staying a while to get more experience before dipping his toe in a bigger pond. Just mebbe, we could go up next year, he stays, we do OK 1st year and improve and he decides to stay for the long haul...........

    fair point about the date, more of a reflection of the depths the press will plunge to that anything actually happening

    MA is right to draw attention to the fact that two scaremongering articles, one about Rooney the other about vaccinations, are both about six weeks old. Context is everything.

    On the subject of Rooney...he’s a high profile football figure who has turned the bottom club in the Championship into one of the three ‘form’ sides. Unfortunately that’s going to see him linked with everyone from Newcastle and Palace to Celtic until their situations are resolved.

    Fortunately, agreeing with MA again, although WR might not be a candidate for Mastermind he seems to have an abundance of common sense and a real football brain. With a son on the books at Man. Utd and a very desirable house and settled lifestyle in Cheshire I think and hope that the proximity and potential at Derby might keep him here for a while yet.
