Wouldn't want Bruce either, been there done that and should have done better at times. Thanks for the memories.
Definition of 'damn with faint praise' PHRASE If someone damns something with faint praise, they say something about it which sounds quite nice but is not enthusiastic, and shows that they do not have a high opinion of it. Dominique damned it with faint praise: 'It tastes quite good when you've lived in the UK for 22 years.'
Not exactly faint praise when without the points deductions this Derby side would be comfortably mid-table with a worse squad than the one that scraped survival last season.
One of our PL players will make it as a manager, I do think Rosenior will, potential in Curtis Davies & Michael Dawson?
I don't think Dawson has the interest to manage, rosenior will be a too coach and possibly manager, I see Davis doing the same
Apologies YT and also to CANADATIGER who also qualifies even though he is not a 1938 born lad but makes the 1939 cutoff. I'm not on the ball today!
Rosenior has done more FA courses than Rooney, who would be clueless without him in the dugout, Rosey needs to manage in Div 2 and work his way up, he will be a success, but, as a black man will struggle to get to the top
Tbf FA courses mean nothing, I've done most of them but don't coach or manage anymore.... Rosenior is a very good coach, but I doubt you or I can accurately say what Rooney's level in the dressing room or on the training filed is.
Rooney was appointed because he’s a name, do you really think, given his past experiences with his infidelities, cheating on his wife, with no end of girls and grannies, he took coaching courses with the FA? The **** should be no where near managing a football club
Wow calm down! I don't think I made any comment on the whether he did or not, but fyi as far as I'm aware he is currently doing his Uefa A license which may or may not have actually been completed yet ( it would have been in normal times but the pandemic had really messed up the courses ). What he has done in the past has no bearing on if he can take The course or if he is/will be a decent coach / manager
Look at former players like Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney just being handed jobs, but Rosenior is expected to start from the bottom and 'may' make it as a manager? Think that's being incredibly disrespectful to him from all the nous he has displayed in various roles already.
As far as I’m concerned he is a terrible role model as a man, a father and a husband, and as a manager should be no where near any football club, a great player he may have been, but that’s it.
Lampard I agree, Gerrard has proved he is a decent manager and Rooney took the chance of one last daft money contract and derby played the rules to do it, Rooney didn't go to derby to be a manager or coach, he went to earn money... he's kind of ended up where he is by lucky/default. Rosenior is doing things in the right way ( and lets be honest, he never had the palying career the other had to be handed a job ) by learning his trade and doing things properly... And it's all by his own choice btw. He's very happy doing what he's doing, he doesn't want a head coach role just yet.
I just find it a bit tiresome that it's generally the big name, white managers who have all the 'luck' with falling into plum jobs. If Rosenior is happy in the role he is, then good on him, let's bring him over here as an assistant.
I'd hardly call derby a plum job but I get your point. I'd love him back here, I'd rather it be down the road though as manager
