Nice, I like Rooney.

I'm sure Gerrard will be one of the very first to congratulate him.

Best of luck, Wazza.

 

[Nerf Herder]

Seems like a basket case of a job to take on at the moment.

Obviously been promised a fortune when the takeover is finally completed.

 

[HandsomeHead]

“Current and prospective owners Mel Morris and Sheikh Khaled are impressed with the 35-year-old's record.

Derby are 22nd in the Championship.”

 

[macdonut]

You end up on a hiding to nothing in jobs like that. I'm surprised to see Rooney take that on to be honest. Good luck to him though.

 

[Hagi9uk]

Thought he was destined for the mhanks!
Oh well.....

 

[TN8]

Bit risky for him surely. They're a shamble.

 

[Raymondgers]

Thought he was destined for the mhanks!
Oh well.....

Gerrard best mate I think. Only had to look at the interviews gerrard backing him up and arguing with england fans in the 2014 world Cup pal

 

[Johnny Quid]

Crazy considering how shit they are at the moment. Rooney seems a decent guy but it's not working for him at Derby.

 

[TimzRFudz]

Depends on what targets he's been given. If it's a case of "stay up whilst we sort out the mullyins to spend in the summer" then its a reasonable challenge.

 

[Carnager]

Thought he was destined for the mhanks!
Oh well.....

I know he's a bit thick and supports them, but not even he would be stupid enough to become their manager.

 

[Kathmandu]

He’s only 35 ffs he looks much older

 

[Scaramanga]

Hopefully it goes tits up for Shrek

 

[Gios_Gillet]

They don't all turn into Gerrard's. Can't see this being a great success but what do I know.

So much for him joining selik then, granny’s can relax

 

[TheWorks]

He’s a mentally challenged and a bit of a fanny

worst of luck to him

Good work from his agent planting stories of Scum interest to get WR a permanent deal. Pity I would have have liked to have seen him there - pretty certain he would have had the Roy Keane impact and be gone after 1 season. I like Derby and do not see this going well.

 

[robo2]

i dont mind rooney but he always came across as incredibly thick, be intresting to see how he does

 

[AzorIbrox]

Good luck to him.

What a player by the way. Frightening what he'd be worth in today's money. His Man Utd debut - a Champions League hat trick. Legendry.

Is this a rumour that I missed?

 

[St Andrews Bear]

Mega dislike of the prick.
In my all time non c****c hated XI

 

[wother1690]

This won’t end well. Thick mentally challenged tramp.

 

[sheddensbear]

I worked beside a bluenose who was going to an OF game at Ibrox. He bumped into Rooney before the match. His grandson wanted his photo with Rooney. He said Rooney couldn't have been any nicer to the both.
I thought he would be the next Ceptic manager (they've seen the Gerrard effect, and he would shift STs).

Didn't do fat Frank too bad all be it he's struggling a bit at the moment

 

[Amstel]

Benian Fastard

 

[Diego Maradona]

Won’t end well. Rooney isn’t intelligent enough

 

[Arminius]

Doomed to failure. He’s as thick as mince.

 

[Coisty09]

Preseason friendly? Gerrard v Rooney

 

[The Golden God]

Don't think Wayne Rooney has it in him to be a football manager.

 

[Kathmandu]

Is this a rumour that I missed?

A rumour lol, Wayne has a penchant for granny hookers and was caught shagging 50 years old hookers when he was at Everton.

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

I wish the potato headed granny shagger nothing but failure.

 

[Balogun1]

He’s only 35 ffs he looks much older

He obviously played a lot of football at a young age but he looks like a bit of a boozer.

 

[Balogun1]

Won’t end well. Rooney isn’t intelligent enough

This is how I see it. Inter-personal skills and self-awareness are paramount requirements and I’m not sure Rooney is particularly blessed with either.

 

[Neilstonger]

Wonderful footballer but not someone who is blessed with the intelligence to be a top manager - in my opinion.

 

[Kit_]

That fat granny shagger would be better suited as a striking coach instead.

 

[Beckhambear2]

Has he done any of his coaching badges etc?

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

I don’t think he has the intelligence to be a top manager.

 

[Jonathan E]

I don't have a well-informed opinion - just the opposite - but from what I've seen of Rooney and the little I've heard him speak, he seems one of the least likely football people ever to succeed in management.

 

[GF7]

Can't see him as a manager but I hope he proves me wrong. He was up there with Messi and Ronaldo when he was at his best.

 

[subversive_bear]

For a period he was one of the most exciting footballers on the planet. Such a shame that his levels dropped-off so relatively early in his career - but he did not too bad.

I don't really see him cutting it as a manager though.

 

[Scaramanga]

Can't see him as a manager but I hope he proves me wrong. He was up there with Messi and Ronaldo when he was at his best.

He was nowhere near them.

 

[interbear]

Can't see him as a manager but I hope he proves me wrong. He was up there with Messi and Ronaldo when he was at his best.

He really wasn’t. Rooney was an excellent player in his prime but nowhere near as good as either of them. Messi and Ronaldo are genuine world class. Rooney was very very good. For a much shorter period of time too.

 

[lwl]

Who do we see as the next Gerrard type in English football, to go into management with the following Gerrard like traits...

Iconic
World-class as a player
Universally respected
Quiet and Conservative off the field
Intelligent
Nice guy but one you wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of
Has winners medals from his playing career.

There's non left of the 'Golden Generation' (maybe Defoe). The only one I can come up with that comes close (but is nowhere near Gerrard in most of those categories) is Jordan Henderson.

 

[Jasetheace]

World class footballer but never liked him, refusing to sing GSTQ et al. Darren Farley doing him with the American Football helmet on when he went to the MLS was class, tells you all you need to know, about as bright as an eclipse.

 

[GF7]

He was nowhere near them.

Opinions are like arseholes, we all have one

 

[GF7]

He really wasn’t. Rooney was an excellent player in his prime but nowhere near as good as either of them. Messi and Ronaldo are genuine world class. Rooney was very very good. For a much shorter period of time too.

I don't think anyone argue he has had the career Messi or Ronaldo have had, likewise only a madman would argue that Rooney was not a world class footballer at his best.

 

[Queenstreetloyal]

Rooney was obviously world class

Messi and Ronaldo are at a whole new level only a select few have ever been at
