Can Rooney keep Derby up?

As a Derby fan, I never thought that WR would be able to take us forward, even before the points deduction!
But he has shown that he is quite shrewd with his management under extreme circumstance. Also he has ably assisted by Liam Rosenior & their backroom staff.

I honestly don't think we will be able to pull it off, as we are still in limbo with the takeover & 2 clubs wanting compensation from us, which is seemingly holding up the takeover, so we cant extend contracts of the likes of Jagielka & sign any loans.
We could still end up being liquidated.

I'm also surprised how well he is doing. He never came across as the most cerebral footballer (though also definitely not the thick character many assumed based on his accent and belligerent image).

Whatever happens, I wish Derby the best in the long run. One of the traditional, real community-based football clubs in England.

Hope he does it for Derby’s fans

No love lost between Leeds and Derby or Leeds and ex Man U players but I for one as a devoted Leeds fan hope Rooney can keep Derby up... It would be real Roy of the Rovers stuff but I think it's definitely possible and probably go down in footballing history as the greatest escape ever.

I can Derby getting hit with COVID and Rooney dusting off the boots for a couple of games along the way.

Thank you genuinely for all the heartwarming comments from across JA’s boards

If nothing else we’ve given ourselves a fighting chance and it sounds like we’ve got positive vibes regarding the takeover.

I hope Derby get relegated and rot away in League 1 - as for their spud-head granny sh@ggin manager - I hope he goes with them

You sap

No wonder you are one of the most hated on here.

Hope you are recovering well from the stroke and you were so strong with that right hand, vvvvanker.

Just ignore the oaf, Igor.

He's a horrible little man, Igor
