What changes? He took over when they were 6th!
Rooney is already sowing the seeds of his next managerial failure by not acknowledging his own shortcomings.

I think in Rooney's case, that is a bit a daft thing for him to say. He did not go into a club in relegation battle, he went into a club not that far away from the play-off picture, but landed them into a relegation battle in pretty quick time. His point would carry more weight had they already been massively struggling when he arrived and he felt like he hadn't been given enough time to turn the corner. Unfortunately, it was him who created the corner in the first place that they're now struggling to turn around.
"On 9 October 2023, Eustace was sacked with the club citing the importance of the board of directors and management being fully aligned on the culture of the football club as the reason behind the decision. An impressive start to the season had seen the club sitting in sixth position with eighteen points from eleven matches."
The sacking of Eustace was an instance I was referring to.

Gerard, Lampard, now Rooney - each has proven that excellent players do not necessarily make excellent managers ...
If only he could speak more eloquently he might have a career in punditry - nah. maybe not!
Off to night school then young man ...
