A number of Derby County supporters have been left worried after seeing current manager Wayne Rooney linked with the Newcastle United job.

A number of names – ranging from Diego Simeone to Eddie Howe – have been reported as potential replacements if Steve Bruce ever gets the sack from the new Magpies owners.

Now, Rooney has become the latest man to be connected to the role. Indeed, as reported by SPORTbible, a reliable source close to both the new board and the former Manchester United striker claimed that he is being lined up for the managerial position.

Naturally, the news made its way onto social media, and it didn’t take long before some concerned Derby supporters were expressing their opinions.

Here’s what these Derby County fans said…

“No way, that would be the nail in the coffin if Wayne left us!! Don’t want to even imagine it!!”

“That would be a bad move for both parties, so likely to go ahead.”
“Here we go, wouldn’t blame him tho.”
“I really hope not although, the owners have treated him awfully at @dcfcofficial so I don’t blame him.”
“Oh no.”
