Very strong speculation, that Derby County could be about to appoint Wayne Rooney as the Clubs new player/coach. That would be a good move for them, especially because of the numerous contacts he has in the game.
He's only going as a coach if so, not manager. Could be a decent punt. Not keen on him myself like but has a lot of experience.
Ah didn't realise. That makes more sense, although I'm not sure he'll provide value for money on his wages
Correct, so it's most likely Rooney's debut will be against us with massive media attention. Just a shame it's at Pride Park, not Oakwell.
That's right. Been announced that initially, its an 18 month deal. Be very interesting to see where he plays for them and what he decides to do when he quits playing. He's made no secret of the fact that at some point in the future, he wants to be the Manager of a Club.
What I would give to see Wayne Rooney running round ANY pitch after a week on the ale, turkey, Xmas pud and NYE celebrations.
