So we are close

The delay could be lots of reasons; dealing with the admins at Derby at such a busy time for them, waiting on our media team doing their stuff or wanting to choose a date that suits LR. I'm sure he'll not want to snake off from Derby and want to do the right thing by Rooney, the other coaches and players.

Delay down to Rosenior wanting to tell Rooney that he is officially off

Or maybe Rooney has said he’s off to Rosenior and that he’ll get the top job.

No disrespect to Derby but the managers job at Blackpool is currently a better option for any aspiring manager.

Everything at Blackpool is currently positive not so at Derby.

Feel sorry for their fans- a decent lot.

Derbyshire Telegraph is running a story. Says Rosenior will take up the manager position at Blackpool but wants to speak to Rooney first. Sorry I don't do links but I'm sure someone will.

Your're right , but it could have been the Devvy Arms.

it was the devvy ,i saw her.

 

[tangible]

Seems a classy guy, so it's the natural thing to do for him, not wanting Rooney to read some press statement that he's left.

 

[SeasideKurt]

It's weird seeing people acting with a bit of class. Been devoid at the managers position recently.

A bit odd, you would have thought he’d already have spoken to Rooney, if not, don’t they both have mobiles?

Perhaps wants to find out if Rooney is staying or not. If not he may want the job there.

Can't see it.

Pictures of the Rooneys on holiday in Dubai maybe waiting for his return to speak face to face rather than a phone call.

Perhaps Rooney’s on holiday at the same ‘no signal’ resort as Critchley?

Definitely not disrespectful, most head coach roles are a more lucrative option than being the assistant regardless of the club. That is why Critchley leaving to be assistant at Villa from being a head coach in the Championship is bizarre.

Most Derby fan reactions I've seen are positive wishing him well, how its a big loss for them but a great step for his career to show what he can do. They seem a classy lot!

Or maybe Rosenior is poaching a back room coach from derby to be his number 2. maybe needs to say to Wayne " sorry mate I've taken the Job at Blackpool" oh and I'm taking ( coach) with me too, to be my No2.. sorry!!
