Wayne Rooney opens up about the challenges he has faced managing Derby

Anyone dealing with that level of turmoil at a football club would be forgiven for thinking "Sod this", but he's stuck to it and made the best of a mad situation. Hats off.

I think Rooney's experiences at Derby will be what gives him the edge over Lampard and Gerrard as a manager. Yes, both the latter have faced huge challenges, but compared to Derby's situation they've been quite fortunate with the squads and the state of the clubs they've entered. He may never become a great tactical genius, but I definitely see him becoming a Harry Redknapp or Roy Hodgson sort of figure, managing in the PL and being a steady pair of hands for a long, long time.

He’s done a good job for what he’s been given 👏

No surprise to see Wayne piling on the beef 🥩 now he’s no longer playing 🤭

If it weren't for the point reduction, Derby would be safe from relegation. In spite of it, it is possible for them to remain in the championship. I think this speaks volumes about Rooney as a manager.

Fat granny admirers

Cant believe this man is younger than christino Ronaldo
Shish

This alone even if it doesn't work out will form a brilliant piece of experience that no other manager ag this moment in time has had to go through looking at the details. This will be completely invaluable to him later on in his career when future goings may get tough. That there is worth much more than inheriting a club born into ready made success. Well done Wayne Big respect and top job being done.

erm

Chalenge 1 your being relegated fingers crossed.

Wayne has added a whole new chapter to his legend. Hope they stay up – it will be a huge achievement if they make it.

Wayne Rooney in (for Manchester United job) who's with me? 😀

Rooney doing an excellent and extremely professional job under the most testing of circumstances. Proof if it were needed that men with square heads can excel.

Errrrrrm

I take my hat off to you Wayne. Well done mate.

Some key things said there that gives me hope he'll stay with us, whatever happens we'll always have a special place for him at our club 👑

There’s something particularly heartbreaking about hearing this situation from an insider trying to keep it functioning.

I’m not sure if Derby’s problems can all be linked to the owners, previous or otherwise.
But it just makes the fit and proper person test revamp feel all the more necessary.

Right now, it’s a sick joke.

Rooney still has a strong championship squad at Derby, compared to many others like Barnsley or Peterborough. Yes they (rightly) were docked 21 pts and u can add them on to see where they would have finished, but others have weaker squads.

Never liked the bloke at all but I do have massive respect for him for sticking with derby and the phenomenal work he's done!
Really hope they stay up, they deserve it!
YNWA! <3

Wayne Rooney Manchester United manager treble winner 🏆 next season

Good

Forest fan here, and I tip my hat to Wayne, the club, all the staff and even the fans. Showing huge fight and passion and I hope the club survives. Gotta keep that east kids derby alive!

Great lad Wayne. Love to see Derby stay up. Unbelievable achievement. 👍👍👍🇮🇪

everybody body praising him saying under the circumstances what a brilliant job / manager he is doing must be blind. he has a decent squad of players has good has half of the other teams in that league. just look at is record since taking the managers job its absolutely awful stats don't lie.

too many pies wayne

Please give him a role at Manchester United.

Could’ve easily gone to Everton, fair play to him

Deluded comments derby will be relegated hahaha

I love this man, with so much going on around him, players leaving left, right centre, administration have no idea what they are doing, so many uncertainties and still manages to put a team together to try compete. Also to the players for not giving up when those who were running the club have cowardly disappeared. An elite example to all would-be managers. Keep fighting DCFC.

I think hes done rubbish take the points deduction off derby wud only be a few place up in the league last season they shud of been relegated if not 4another points deduction hope utd get him lol

God bless you Wayne

Great win for reading 😁welcome to league 1 derby 😂😂😂

Goat

errm

Watch your weight Wayne it’s so easy to put on but NOT so easy to get it off.
Hope you don’t mind some friendly advice.

Can't believe United haven't given him the job.

Don't Rooney fancy buying the club?

I'm a Forest fan but i wish Derby all the best.I hope they will stay in Championship!

I'm sure Brian Clough would be happy how Wayne Rooney is dealing with the problems at Derby County.

im happy he gave Morrison another chance at professional football

One thing il say about rooney he is loyal. The way he has saved ravel Morrison and got him playing well is poetic.

Literally nobody watched skinhead Rooney and thought, "he'll become a great manager". But he's on the way there

He will be a top top manager like he was a player

I actually really enjoy listening to Wayne Rooney

Fairplay Rooner

No questions about Frank? 😉

Hats off to Wayne he seems such a good decent man. I am Arsenal but I love Wayne he's an English hero and not many would stick around at Derby he could easily go get another job but he's there still working with scraps instead of money what a humble man 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

What he's doing is great. Fair play, says alot about his character. Come on Wayne 💪😁
