Maybe United will give him a job as a backroom coach for one of the non-first teams. I imagine he's the type that'll just end up fading into obscurity and in 20 years time kids will know about him as a player but have no idea he was a manager as well. A la Neville brothers, Gerrard, Lampard. With the talent he has at his disposal at Plymouth even staying to the end of August could be terminally damaging. If him being around makes Whitaker and Mumba amongst a couple others get twitchy and get their agents looking for a way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argyle have already turned down offers for Whitaker and don't intend to sell unless for big money. However, Wayne has already thrown the players under the boss after the game yesterday. Just like he did at City. Way to get the squad on side. Seriously hope he's sacked before Christmas and they have time to get a decent coach in.

They would have stayed up comfortably without the points deductions as well. However, he's been a disaster ever since. Maybe he needs to take a leaf out of Neville's book and realise management isn't for him. The Derby job looks more and more like it was down to Rosenior and not Rooney. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree to an extent, especially tactically, but I think Rooney definitely got the man management side that season spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of the situation, backs against the wall, nothing to lose etc he played it right with Derby. I agree, it's been shambolic since. Nearly as bad as Gerrard's was here.

He was on the overlap if I recall and says he sees himself as a manager and not a coach (ala Gerrard) I think England ex players are the only people who think you can get paid 2m a year to let somebody else do your job. It's bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Field Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Usually, I find that even the most questionable decisions in football have some sort of explanation or reasoning behind them. However, hiring Rooney as manager, especially after his time at Birmingham, leaves me so perplexed that I simply cannot find a logical reason for it (except maybe that he's a friend of the directors?). He's an abysmal manager and comes across as an abysmal person and an idiot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an abysmal manager and comes across as an abysmal person and an idiot I guess the only thing he brings is his name. Maybe it brings sponsors and social media coverage. It really doesn’t look good value though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Quote "I've told them after the game if I see a performance like that again from any player - whether they've been at the club for a long time or whether they've just come into the club as a new player - they will not play," Rooney told BBC Radio Devon. "From my point of view you can lose football games, that happens, but you have to do the basics and you have to make sure you run and you tackle and you're getting to the ball and that wasn't there. "The players know, they understand they have to be at it every game." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cewlxr1drw8o.amp **** me, it's Stevie Gerrard.

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 As a side note it is a bit rotten that there is a Liverpudlian stranglehold on Plymouth jobs all stemming from the director of football. Can't be good corporate governance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Foster appointment being such a disaster has lost a lot of the good will and was then followed by this idiocy. Add in how he's handled stuff like the Cooper sale and he's not overly popular right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
