Wayne Rooney | Leaves Plymouth by Mutual Consent

[FrankDrebin]

He's not playing away again is he ?

 

[SilentWitness]

Rumour is he's being sacked.

 

[duffer]

Get sacked, wait a few weeks and then take over at Everton as a caretaker. That is my prediction.

 

[The Urban Goose]

Ermmm....

That would be Eveton risking to get relegated. I’d back Dyche to keep them up rather than Rooney.

 

[SilentWitness]

Ermmm....

Had to happen.

 

[Gazautd18]

Should stick to football podcasts

 

[Lay]

Poor decision to go there. Not sure where his career goes now

pub.

 

[Mb194dc]

20% win rate in line with his other jobs, so shouldn't surprise anyone.

 

[CallyRed]

Ready for United

 

[Wilt]

Sad to see him struggle, though probably for the best.

Hope he does more pundit work.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

That would be Eveton risking to get relegated. I’d back Dyche to keep them up rather than Rooney.

Dyche is about 1000 times a better coach than Rooney. He’s getting jobs based on the fact he was a great player, same as Lampard and Gerrard.

 

[mitchmouse]

Any chance of getting him to play for us!

 

[BorisManUtd]

Dyche is about 1000 times a better coach than Rooney. He’s getting jobs based on the fact he was a great player, same as Lampard and Gerrard.

Won’t go on forever of course.

 

[Crackers]

Don't think he's cutout for management at all sadly.

 

[mitchmouse]

Don't think he's cutout for management at all sadly.

his punditry is pretty good. sky could do worse than sign him up

 

[Norris Cole]

Surely he'll have a nicer life living with his family in Cheshire and doing punditry a couple times a week versus travelling back and forth to Plymouth and getting battered every week

 

[Abizzz]

Ah man. Possibly the last generation of United player I will care for long after they stopped playing. Wish him more luck wherever he goes next.

 

[The Urban Goose]

Ready for United

I'd love a 20% win rate at the moment.

 

[TsuWave]

It’s over

 

[Crackers]

Does he fancy being Holjund's mentor for a few weeks?

 

[crossy1686]

Poor decision to go there. Not sure where his career goes now

He’ll do fine. He takes on projects that aren’t great because he just wants to be involved in football, and everyone seems to think he’s a good manager.

 

[Castia]

fecking hell he just needs to give management up it’s obviously not for him

Needs to take a coaching job in my opinion get involved with coaching for a couple of years

 

[Precaution]

Wasn't he pretty good at Derby though?

 

[Marwood]

Remember this is the lad who after our greatest period ever told Alex Ferguson he was getting it wrong. Now sacked by Plymouth.

 

[DJ_21]

He should probably give up his management career now. He’s awful.

 

[Rex Banner]

Certainly doesn't help himself with his choices. Plymouth was always gonna be a difficult job.

Remember this is the lad who after our greatest period ever told Alex Ferguson he was getting it wrong. Now sacked by Plymouth.

Wasn't that after Ronaldo and Tevez left and we bought in Owen and Obertan? Seems fair to me.

 

[philnguyen1994]

Certainly doesn't help himself with his choices. Plymouth was always gonna be a difficult job.

He didn't have many choices after taking Birmingham from a play-off position to relegation last season.

Also, there's "difficult" and there's "conceding a record 51 goals in half a season".

 

[astracrazy]

Surely he'll realise now management isn't' for him.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Needs to do coaching and take some time as a No2. Aside from Derby it's a managerial career that looks pretty terrible.

 

[flameinthesun]

his punditry is pretty good. sky could do worse than sign him up

On the contrary I think he is also a poor pundit. Although that bar isn't that high.

 

[Strachan8]

Had to happen.

Did Phelan join him in the end?

 

[TheReligion]

Remember this is the lad who after our greatest period ever told Alex Ferguson he was getting it wrong. Now sacked by Plymouth.

Never forget.

 

[Ajr]

Did Phelan join him in the end?

Yeah for 3 games or so

 

[Marwood]

Certainly doesn't help himself with his choices. Plymouth was always gonna be a difficult job.

Wasn't that after Ronaldo and Tevez left and we bought in Owen and Obertan? Seems fair to me.

Don't think it was his place to tell the greatest manager ever where he's going wrong after he's just delivered our greatest period ever. Shortly followed by further success.

Even more ridiculous now we can see his own managerial ability.

 

[Strachan8]

Yeah for 3 games or so

Ta.

When you think about tennis (okay not a team sport) but so many top players are good coaches. Why doesn't Rooney just coach a young elite level attacking talent one on one or become an attacking coach (like in rugby)? Otherwise he will be taking management jobs in Cyprus or the lower half of the SPL soon…

 

[2 man midfield]

I think he loves football too much to not work in it. He’ll be managing Kettering before he gives up completely.

 

[RoyH1]

That would be Eveton risking to get relegated. I’d back Dyche to keep them up rather than Rooney.

Absolutely. Dyche is ten times the manager Rooney is.
