    Rooney anyone?

    Derby kept fighting to the end even though it was mission impossible.

    He could have walked and even stuck around when his boyhood club came calling.

    Fostered a real fighting spirit at the club
    Mind you horse to water in our case maybe

    What do we think?

    No point, we’re stuck with too many poor underperformers and a dreadful owner. We need to be rid of Lai before we bring in another manager.

    I don't believe Sandwell has enough Granny *** workers to attract him.

    In the old days Rooney would have loved it at the back of Rackhams in Brum centre! The granny would not be able to understand his lingo for the 20 quid 😭

    I’m not sure about Rooney.

    I think there’s more intelligent in plankton if I’m honest.

    Derby’s squad wasn’t that bad and it’s easy to bang the drum in a “backs against the wall” scenario.

    I can see him going elsewhere and being a massive fail.

    I’d rather have a Gary Rowett type who puts sides together for peanuts and really knows how to manage.

    I think we are a poisoned chalice.

    I think you are spot on boingy.
    An employer will look at the history of a potential candidate and decide on yea or nay.
    A potential employee looking at our management history.....would do the same.
    Let's be honest.....from top to bottom....it has rapidly become a shambles....
    MR Peace may have been more accurate in his conclusions on Albion's true standing.

    Better than Bruce so yes, would love a total change with Scharner as director of football and a young hungry manager in charge of the first team.

    I would like a young up and coming coach from the continent with fresh ideas.
    But it doesn't really matter who we want, we know we are stuck with Mr Potato head for at least another season, as well as good old Jake as captain.
    I have lost all interest to be honest. As for paying for a season ticket, I can't be arsed to walk to the pub to watch them anymore.
