Derby fans react as Newcastle reportedly look at hiring Wayne Rooney

Newcastle U🐼nited have reportedly considered the option of hiring Wayne Rooney, raiding Derby County – and Derby fans have responded on Twitter.

Rooney, 35, is cur⛎rently learning his trade at Championship side Der🔥by County. However, it has been anything but plain sailing so far.

Going ꧋from player to manager, England’s leading goalscorer has won just 13 of his 50 games in charge. Derby have been handed a 12-po🐓int deduction.

It leaves the Rams rock bﷺottom and six points adrift. Had🦹 the deduction been avoided, Derby would sit in a much healthier 14th place.

That has seemingly caugh✨t the eye of Newcast꧑le’s new owners. They are reportedly expected to replace Steve Bruce in the next hours or days.

What are Derby fans saying as Newcastle eye Rooney?

Rooney has come off well when talking to theꦬ press on numerous occasions. In the midꦺst of drama, he has coped well – other than a couple of incidents.

But he is lacking in any kind of big experience, and is yet to manage in the Premier League. So, would he really﷽ get a job like the Newcastle role?

The Toon would be better advised to go for a manager🌸 with more experience. One with the know how when it 𒀰comes to a bid budget.

Derby fans have reacted to the news that Rooney is a name on Newca♈stle’s shortlist. It is a 🅷mixed reaction – some are happy to see him go north.
