and why he hired Wayne Rooney. I've just watched this and I'm puzzled by his response that results don't matter. Maybe he'll be proven right we will just have to wait and see but a strange interview.
Rooney has come across very well in the local media so far - he does appear to value the relationship between fans, players, club and comes across as very down to earth and likeable. Needs a result against Hull this Sat and I hope he gets it. I've not always wanted Plymouth to do well with living here but I really do hope Rooney makes a go of it - if he doesn't there won't be too many other chances at management which he clearly recognises.
I don't get the hate for Wayne Rooney, i suspect its a legacy from his playing days.
I thought he did well at Derby considering how much of the mire they were in, he showed them loyalty when allegedly Celtic/Everton was knocking on the door, he kept them up in the first season and only left once they had gone down to L1 the following season. His time at Birmingham and DC United were a mixed bag (ok it wasn't always great) but he is a young manager learning his way in the managerial game.
Maybe what he needs is a team like Plymouth who will give him more than a handful of games, irrespective of results. It sometimes takes time for people to find their feet in a new role.
I think it’s a mixture of annoyance at people like he and Lampard walking into plum jobs off the back of being brilliant players (which is a bit unfair on Rooney, certainly compared to Lampard), the whole association with WAGs and that bling kind of era, and a big dollop of snobbishness 🤷
I don’t mind the guy, tbh, and thought he was an OK pundit during the Euros. Not saying he’ll be a great coach or anything.

Disagree - he’s pretty much thrown his players under the bus with his comments after one game.
As with his Birmingham team, they look incredibly badly coached (Ruddy gave some interesting insights). He’ll be gone before the end of Sept with another huge payoff.
