Two and half year deal will he last that long ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55646923

No - although having Liam Rosenior as assistant and Shay Given as first team coach may result in Rooney lasting longer than he should.

I bet Liam isn't too chuffed having been busy putting in the hours to get a managerial opportunity. Wonder if Rooney has done the same?
"The directors of Derby County and Wayne Rooney have agreed that it would be in the best interests of the football club for Wayne to relinquish his position as manager. We would like to place on record our appreciation for all Wayne's efforts over the past five and a half months and wish him all the best in his future endeavours."

Should have got Allardyce in to start with

Exactly my thoughts, being a great player doesn't necessarily lead you to becoming a success as a manager, as we all know.
Then again neither of them have been properly tested as coaches yet, so only time will tell.

I thought Liam went there as youth team coach so assistant manager is a step up?
To be fair to Rooney, since he took over as caretaker manager, he has only lost 2 games out of 9, so he hasn't done too badly.

How soon is now?
He only has to keep them up, and this season that will be a success.
Rosenior has been on a slow upward trajectory since he started there, so this appointment is a good one for him

Bad results? An incident involving at least alcohol? Both?

Rosenior joined them as part of Cocu's first-team coaching set-up.

But if Rooney hasnt spent time doing badges etc then Liam would have been expected to be ahead of him in the queue for the job

did Rosenior want the role, at this point? seems this is formalising what has been the arrangement for a few months.

I imagine as he was there before Rooney that he would have hoped at that time to get a shot at the managers job in the future. Rooney pitching up would have moved him down the pecking order so maybe he accepted that at the time but who knows
I realised this was a spoof when I read 'The directors of....Wayne Rooney'. I mean, what do you take me for. Cah!

Derby are in financial trouble - there is talk that they will have to sell Jason Knight to pay the players wages.
And by the way - Jason Knight is someone Potter should have a look at - get in before Burnley.

Liam was interviewed as box-ticking exercise, but Wayne got the job. This is 'The Rooney Rule' done the Derby Way.
