TommyCraig Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just seen an interview given on SSN where he says he was offered an interview for the Everton job but turned it down. Says he has a job at Derby and its important to him. He believes he will manage in the Prem one day. I think he's realised he's not ready yet. I find his attitude refreshing and good on him.

Too early for a job of that size though and I think he realises that. That restraint gives me the impression there is more about him than many think. He's doing a good job at Derby in very difficult circumstances. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t fathom how he can be a good manager - whatever he’s doing he’s doing something right Thick as f00k and can barely string a sentence together in interviews 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets me that some on Owlstalk assume that everyone will automatically move for more money. Rooney appears to be planning his career wisely and by investing in himself will probably earn much more over his entire career. Not really a fan but beginning to respect him.

Ever the pessimist Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 He’s done very well in difficult circumstances at Derby. Must admit I thought he’d walk by now. Wise to turn Everton down… timing is very important for taking managerial gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Of course he turned down an interview But I bet you any money he wouldn’t have turned down the job offer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo hippy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Win win situation for him at Derby. He's not expected to keep them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Or is it simply that a lifelong Everton fan doesn't want to be remembered as the manager who was in charge when they got relegated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganowl Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 id have thought that losing rooney off the wage bill and picking up 3 million compo to derby would be more important , and they have some sellable assets ie tom lawrence this kind of money would keep the tax man etc away from the door longer . if they stay up it will be a more incredible achievement than leicester winning the prem league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Probably a sensible move long-term. With Derby, he almost can't lose can he. Club is on the brink of ceasing to exist, will be an absolute miracle if they do manage to stay up. Everton a proper poisoned chalice at the moment. Go there and it turns into a disaster like it has for a few managers, all with much more experience than Rooney at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Its he dream job “Wayne, do you want to leave Derby and a job you cant lose in, for an interview for a dream job that you might not get…pretty much runing your current work if you don’t get it” vs ”Wayne, we’d like to offer you your dream job. You in?” Edited January 30, 2022 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
