Because at this point they are one of three relegation places taken up. Don’t see what concentrating on us does considering we have no impact on how well we do on the pitch.

Wayne Rooney: Derby County boss says he will not quit but demands signings before new season
Wayne Rooney says he will not walk away from Derby but demands signings with start of the Championship season in two weeks; Rams currently have nine registered senior players, two of whom are goalkeepers.
I watched this video, and Rooney looks a broken man.
Derby don't even have 11 first team players (7 outfield + 2 gk), with only 2 weeks to go until first game, and can only get freebies....and some on SBT are complaining out Cov ??
Derby could be on for a record low Championship points total...to go with their record low Premier league points total (11 - 07/08)

Rooney could be in for a whole lot more pressure judging by some pictures of him with some boilers that are circulating on social media
If they're up to date he'll be in another shit storm

People are comparing him to Giggs and Barton which seems massively over the top

No. They made us give a very loose commitment and we blagged it accordingly. Should’ve given us a smarter objective
Well I mean they are aren’t they? I don’t think they should be based on a stupid cup game where they would’ve forfitted if it was a league game because of a global pandemic. They should be restricted to whatever the short term signings are that they would be allowed.

Worryingly for Derby their early fixtures are against teams who might be expected to struggle - Huddersfield (h), P'boro (a) and Hull (a) are the first 3 league games. If they haven't got themselves organised early on, then surely they would sooner have faced the Fulhams or WBAs of the division, which they would probably have lost to anyway. Lose to the former type of opponents early on and the die is well and truly cast.

Never rains but it pours. Couldn't make it up, could you? 2-3 months you put one of your better players out for, when you're short of players.
Not particularly fussed either way but it does feel like someone,thing,life is out to get him atm

Always going to be the way because of his profile. Typical English media.
Said it last season that he's under qualified for the role but Derby's problems are far, far bigger than him.

I feel really sorry for Rooney
But tbh he shouldn't be going to nightclubs any more

I do wonder whether Derby have set Rooney up (assuming he's on a long contract)

He looks happy enough in that picture but she looks a bit younger than his normal type

Shit position for Derby to be in, but selfishly it’s great for us. Hopefully one less team to worry about. Saying that, the players they have left are all pretty experienced and decent enough, so it’ll only take a few signings to get them out of their mess. Also not a bad pre season to be able to sign frees, they’ll be more around than usual.
Really feel for Rooney, he’s a young English manager who I’d like to see do well. He’s also showing some loyalty to a team he has no affiliation to.
People are always out to “get” celebs, he really should know better. Gutter press everywhere.

I’m going to go the other way on Rooney I think he is getting an easy ride (no pun intended) from the press I heard somebody say today he is obviously going to be a great manager and had an unfortunate run at Derby and will easily get another job.

Is he asking her if she is available on Saturday for a game?

Not that he necessarily needs the money, but you'd think any new job offer would be at a lower level/smaller club than Derby. So walking seems pointless (his managerial reputation is already low imo, so staying at least gets him loyalty points)

With this long term injury, they are down to 6 outfield and 2 GK (senior players).
They are restricted to free transfers and very modest salaries apparently.
Rooney is in the shit upto his neck both professionally and domestically.

Said before the last EFL verdict being demoted and getting their slate wiped would have been the better option for them, the championship is tough enough as we saw last season but with a squad needing a complete re-build is almost impossible maximum loan usage is 5 in a game so it looks like they need another 6 players just to have a full match day squad.
As for Rooney not sure.
John Terry is looking for a managers job ??
