I think his enthusiasm and ‘name’ will have a positive impact on the squad. Not sure he will play much, if at all but his influence in the dressing room may make all the difference.
I think he'll do ok.
A great player to have around a football club by all accounts, great with the youngsters and used to go out of the way to get involved and encourage others even when injured or dropped.
Down to whether he can accumulate the necessary tactical nous and coaching skills.
Good luck to him.
Speaking on camera and on the training ground/in the dressing room is very different. If you ignore the media portrayal of him he comes across as quite intelligent in in-depth interviews.
I always think Steve Gerrard looks & sounds bored beyond belief. The interview at the weekend after there rout didn't seem to leave him very enthusiastic.
At present Rooney keeps saying 'hopefully' when I hear him...which is progress from 'errrm' & 'you know like' from players of the past...but I fear it is a cash generator in the main from Derby's perspective & the fans will be taken for mugs
