Think there might be something in that Stenson, alongside Swale’s suggestion that Rooney really wanted a Kirchner takeover, for whatever reason, and doesn’t support the Clowes news.

I’m disappointed because I thought Rooney had really bought into Derby and that he would be a bit of a ‘magnet’ in terms of attracting players to join our potential ‘resurrection’ from League One.

On the other hand, we can’t be certain how many of the good things we saw last season were down to Rosenior rather than Rooney and it still seems strange that LR seemed to walk away from what looked like a nailed on appointment as Blackpool’s manager right at the last minute.

Personally, despite all the big names allegedly in the running to take over from Rooney, I’d be happy to see Rosenior given a chance, possibly with Curtis Davies as assistant.

Of those other big names...some (eg Steve Cooper and Frank Lampard) are obviously total nonsense...but Sean Dyche might be a good fit
