Last game before Rooney played Derby were 17th, 9 points from the Play Offs and 9 points from the relegation places. After the midweek defeat to Bristol City, Derby are 13th, 10 points from the Play Offs and 13 points from the relegation places. So safer from relegation but no better off in promotion race.

Oh no, miles off it. I think that they'd have kept going down the table rather than up it if Rooney wasn't there though. He's steadied them but they're still pretty rubbish.

Who knows what is in his contract. Derby are very ambitious and maybe thought he could get them up this season. But maybe has a release clause. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ll keep dodging that bullet somehow. They’ll sell the ground again, rent it back, pay Rooney with hair transplants and get him to pay all the players wages with sauna visits or something.

Bull's-eye Posted February 21 Rooney was superb tbh. Derby clearly not going for promotion this season according to Phillip Cocu. Seemed confident saying it and obviously expects to be given time. Bit of financial doping gone on at Derby though so I hope they crash and burn. Seen Rooney live a few times, brilliant footballer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
