Rooney Turns Down Everton

[chunkyshanhawk53]

It doesn't always work like though. I'm not saying it wouldn't like I said originally. The club would obviously have to be managerless for kick off. Everton are one of the clubs that has a massive budget.

Imagine he keeps Derby up stays with them and they are mediocre as it gets next season. Would his stock be so high?

Lampard only got the Chelsea job because he was a high profile ex-player like Rooney at Everton. Would Rooney be in with a shot of the Man Utd job next season - obviously not.

What does the quoted sentence mean?

I like the lad myself. Has an usual proclivity for old hookers etc but seems a
Decent bloke really. A tremendous player and hopefully turns out to be a cracking manager

Probably carried through into his management style: a mix of seasoned old pros and younger players.

I wasn't trying to deny it. I didn't read your post properly.

Derby still have to provide proof funds to finish this season. I don't know what he's thinking about tbf.

 

[faith brothers]

Showed loyalty to Everton in the past by f***ing off to Man Utd asap!

only cos Mags stepped aside!

If they've got any sense they'll go for Potter - that'll upset the little Brighton girlies.

No chance he will go more chance Brian Potter will take it!

Regardless he’ll get a good offer next time. He’s high profile, he’s done a good job.

Let the dust settle and see if Everton actually confirm this

They won't come and say they got turned down, that's clubs in enough chaos without them saying owt

He’s doing a bloody good job at Derby given the circumstances. 21 points deducted and still got half a chance of staying up.

That said, turning down a move to an established PL club, especially when your current club might go bust is a bizarre decision

Regardless of whether he would have been 1st choice, 4th choice, or whatever it is refreshing to see him wanting to try and finish what he has started at Derby.
I thought he would be an unmitigated disaster as Derby boss, just as i thought Viera would flop at Palace and West Ham would struggle this season.
At least i am consistent.

I like managers that back themselves instead of taking jobs too early. He will be a premier league manager at some point, I got laughed at a while back saying he's a clever bloke who I would love here to replace Lee Johnson. Lampard took that Chelsea job too early, he should have learnt his trade a bit more.

 

[admwil]

He’s done a decent job so far. Good on him

 

[Roy Cropper]

He‘s doing a cracking job at Derby. Many a man would have walked away.
