I wouldn't mind Rooney. Warnock inspires the players in one way because of his long managerial career and I think Rooney would inspire them in another way because of his playing days. Would certainly tick the boxes when it comes to raising the clubs profile at home and abroad. I was actually impressed with the way Rooney conducted himself at Derby..not the 'hothead' we've been led to believe, but calm and considered. Under the circumstances he showed calmness and loyalty..so yes, he ticks some of my boxes too..

Rooney would just be another massive gamble. Did ok at Derby in a unique set of circumstances, and he's been naff at DC United. Not what we need, even if it'd being a lot of publicity. Probably a little bit of context needed in his time at DC United. Took over comfortably the worst team in the whole of the MLS at the back end of last season, they finished bottom in 14th place seven points adrift. This season they're currently 9th in a 15 team league. Not a massive improvement but I don't think anyone expected them to be challenging at the top end. They already have more points than last season with 5 games to go.

Nothing about Rooneys managerial career says ‘hire me’.
This club.. i struggle to comprehend how we manage to get in the situations we do.

Always a bit simplistic to judge a manager on a win percentage, particularly one just starting out his managerial career when the sample size is small.
You can have a comparatively low win percentage but be overachieving. Which under the circumstances was what Rooney did at Derby.
I'd rather look at attributes, can they command respect from a playing squad, do his teams look well coached etc.
I'm not necessarily crying out for Rooney and the 'Wayne Rooney's Huddersfield' would get fairly tedious but we could do a lot worse.

If it was Rooney, who does he usually have as his assistant? I suppose that would be a key element of it working or not. I wouldn’t be against the appointment if it was true.

I'd take Rooney here in a heartbeat. High profile and exactly the type of up and coming manager that would take us forward. It would make commercial sense. Anyone saying they wouldn't want him I truly don't know who they would expect us to get that's any better.

Love him or loathe him NW has done a great job here and i was hoping he would retire after he kept us up. The players have obviously taken to him and that is my one concern with a new manager is they all have their own ideas and man management goes a long way. I wouldn't be disappointed with Wayne Rooney but lets just hope it's not some "Look at mw and what ive done in the game Manager".

And if we had the sort of money he’d be demanding I’d rather we got a striker

They already have more points than last season with 5 games to go. they didn't spend much in the season before. They've spent on a few players (i.e. Klich and Benteke) now and have still been bad since LOB left. Terrible to watch and haven't adapted tactically at all throughout the season even when his tactics (such as playing the keeper almost as far out as the CBs) have been found out. If we took Rooney, Warnock would be back in February.

Warnock is probably the closest weve had to that this season, if success is making us a decent mid table side which it could be from where we were. Last manager we had before him that I thought..'yeah Im very confident he'll be a success here' was probably jacko back in 2003. With Rooney id be confident the players would be inspired by him and have a deep respect for him, which is half the battle as proven by Warnock. The players love playing for him and I think they'd be the same with Rooney, just because hes a genuine legend of the game.

If our players are anything like me , they’ll look at the state and think how the chuff was he such a good player

No. If she couldn't spot that her husband was a nonce, she won't be able to spot that an opposition team are susceptible to conceding soft goals from short corners. It's a no from me.
