[Football] Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth

[Giraffe]

Not the best start for WR Plymouth Argyle.

 

[WhingForPresident]

A bit conflicted as I like Plymouth but it's funny seeing Rooney continue to fail. Absolutely insane appointment.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

Christmas at best?

 

[GT49er]

But another clean sheet for our wunderkid between the sticks!

 

[Han Solo]

Too early to tell how that will work out.

Sheffield W are likely to be promotion candidates though, they've built themselves a good team.

 

[Driver8]

They were dreadful.

 

[Right Brain Ronnie]

He could be deliberately stuffing it up so he gets the England job, before Carsley gets too many good results!

 

[Professor Plum]

I like Wayne Rooney. He seems honest and humble. Unlike Lampard and Gerrard he doesn’t seem to expect to be handed top jobs just because he was a great player. I’d like him to succeed though that looks unlikely at this point.

 

[Durlston]

He's just not cut out to be a manager. End of.

Plymouth have got themselves relegated, which is a shame as they're a nice club.

 

[essbee1]

The bloke might have been a good player, but he needs to accept that as a manager he's
dogshit.

 

[Hometownglory]

Really not sure why they went with Rooney seeing as he basically relegated Birmingham.

Agree with that and thought he did a phenomenal job with Derby.

He's taking awful jobs though which is a quick way to ruin a manager career.

I wish Gary Lineker had asked Rooney on the BBC when he was part of the Euro 2024 summarising team if he was looking at property in Devon.

"Yeah, I mean, there's some good 'ouses to burrrrgle down derrrr" "Oh. I mean, what's the point - I'll be sacked by October anyway".

Too bad for the lesser clubs that appoint him

Also, fixtures! https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/wayne-rooneys-plymouth-argyle.408155/

This. It was the classic 'they were lucky to get nil'

When will Argyle start offering discounted ticket prices for female OAPs ?

"Yeah, I mean, there's some good 'ouses to burrrrgle down derrrr" "Oh. I mean, what's the point - I'll be sacked by October anyway".

"Burrrgle"? I see no reason or evidence that Rooney has or should have attempted to learn to speak West Country, like the Wurzels. Maybe there's some other point you're trying to make? Is there some trope or other that I'm missing?

They already do, and have done for years, given concessions to the over 65s.

 

[The Grockle]

I feel like I should dislike Rooney and wish him to fail but I find myself rooting for him. He's not exactly picked easy clubs to start his managerial career and felt he conducted himself very well at Derby in challenging circumstances.

 

[The Wookiee]

Tough start with Beadle about
