Re: Derby County - Imploding!

Can they afford to fire him? Is he another millstone around their neck?

No don't fire him, leave him there , it just adds to thier misery .

Re: Derby County - Imploding!

Can't believe Rooney is still in a job, and not just for getting caught with young ladies of dubious morals. His management skills are less than zero, and fifteen years in the public glare has taught him nothing about public speaking. Why the hell doesn't he hire a speech coach? But he's on a massive salary, and if he quits, he won't get another job in management. He can't do anything else, his wife will divorce him, and he'll be on a slippery slope, and end up doing a Gascoigne. Sad, in a way.

That's some prediction.

Their players have been asked to sign contracts by noon today without any financials or durations on them, in order to register to play Saturday!

I dont think he will ever make a decent manager.

I dont see comparisons with Gascoigne though.

is that their existing players being asked to sign new contracts? or new players they're bringing in to be able to complete their fixtures?

Re: Derby County - Imploding!

Absolutely nothing to do with the football but his Mrs is a proper bit of crumpet!! All the curves in all the right places!!

but yeah, going back to the football, they are in deep shizer and to be honest its 50-50 with Rooney. Either he's there, committed and really wants to prove himself as a manager, grabbing the challenge he faces.......or they just can't afford to pay him off. Either way he'll come out smelling of roses, he always does.

Re: Derby County - Imploding!

With the season a few days away, Derby still have not got a sale sorted out, have still not reached agreement with the EFL to sign players (some more linked with moves away) and have given players contracts to sign (so they can play on Saturday) with the wages box left blank!

They have had 8 or 9 free agents training with them for weeks or months - most of them past it or trouble - but are operating under an EFL squad and salary cap that makes their chances of adding them to the squad remote.

At least Rooney hasn't put any of them on the treatment table with ruptured ligaments for the next 3 months - like Jason Knight.

Mind you, after FFP abuses and snowgate, I will take more than that to make me feel sorry for them!

After Snowgate , ffp and the following anti welsh comments their forums were packed with at the time i hope they drop don the leagues like an heavy sack of shit.

Is that even allowed?

As a player I don't think i'd risk it

Re: Derby County - Imploding!

Yet the last time I looked on a Derby messageboard, it was all about the EFL’s anti Derby agenda.

didn't realise it was as bad as this.

According to this, they currently have no centre backs, one striker who is 34, and only 13 senior players, of which their two most valuable are out on long term injury.

Krystian Bielik apparently they paid over 7 million for 2 seasons ago.
Max Bird, Jason Knight and Louie Sibley are all fairly highly rated prospects.

It's a fustercluck for sure.

Re: Derby County - Imploding!

Apparently if they fill the matchday squad with youth players tomorrow then they have to register them as professionals and thereby reducing the amount of senior players they can bring in in the coming weeks.

All has to be sorted by noon today so players registered in time to play.
