If only the FA could do their job properly a manager wouldn't have to go above and beyond to pay the staffs wages.Tweet

Or, Derby had players on their books already and the financial situation deepened to the point whereby players were going to stop being paid so Rooney put his hand in his own pocket to make sure they did?So it sounds like to most people here it's fine with off the books money doping when it's from a beloved character to a Championship club, but not when it's City doing similar things.
He essentially was trying to artificially inflate Derby to a level above what they could do on their own, so he could keep better players/staff and have them stay motivated so in turn he himself could look like a better manager if he kept them up.

I stand by this. I would have loved to see him join Ten Hag’s staffIt would have been good to see him as part of Ten Hag’s staff. Rooney might think he’s above being a coach but I think it would have been a really useful experience for him to work under someone who’s coached at Bayern with Pep’s methods and has then gone on to have his own success at Ajax.
Rooney has said before how highly he rated Van Gaal’s methods and think he would consider himself to have the same principles as the likes of Ten Hag/Pep.
I don’t see it happening now though as Ten Hag has assembled his staff and also not sure if there is any friction between Rooney and Ronaldo after their recent tiff.
How did they manage to sign Rooney in the first place? Surprised he didn’t sign for the ‘flashier’ New York/LA teamsSeems there is talk of Rooney coming to manage DC United. As a DC United supporter, I really hope Wayne doesn't do it. DC United is where dreams go to die. They have cheap owners who don't care about the game. Unless the job include a massive amount of money to invest in both the team and the stadium, he should stay far away.
It's really a mystery. They still had him for 2.5 more years at 3.5 million a year which makes me think he knew how shit we were (which really makes me question the probability of him coming back). There was certainly an energy he brought to the team (and to DC United in general) but he deserves far more than what he will get here under this ownership group. Granted, he was at Derby so maybe we look like a dream job.How did they manage to sign Rooney in the first place? Surprised he didn’t sign for the ‘flashier’ New York/LA teams
He mentioned early on that he liked DC because he could still have some anonymity (as could his family). I imagine he has to get out of England for that.Didn’t Rooney say he preferred a less glamorous city so he could have a more normal life?
