Simon Jordan blasts "fool" Wayne Rooney for quitting as manager of crisis club Derby

Simon Jordan has blasted Wayne Rooney for his decision to walk out on Derby County.

Friday saw ex-England and Manchester United skipper Rooney end 17 turbulent months in charge of the Rams.That time had seen the 36-year-old contend with a myriad of issues such as administration, transfer embargoes and a never-ending takeover saga. Relegation from the Championship last season was largely as a result of a whopping 21-point handicap placed on the club.
