The Verdict

It has been a difficult season for Derby both on and off the pitch and the sooner a takeover is concluded the better - Mike Ashley's re-emergence though could delay things.

Wayne Rooney wants to stay at the club as manager and soon he will need to start making decisions if he already hasn't on his squad and who he wants to offer contracts to when he is able to do so.

At the age of 29 now, Roos needs to be getting first-team football somewhere as he's always been a bit-part figure at Derby and never the undisputed number one.

With Ryan Allsop more-than likely getting a move to the Championship this summer though, that could open up a vacancy for Roos to stake his claim if Rooney still wants him - although the England legend could go out and find his own new number one.
