Birmingham City Thread - 2023/24 | Rooney sacked after 15 games

[discopop]

He'll probably get a good gig out in Saudi on name value alone

Rooney in Saudi with his drink issues? I’d actually pay to the that story unfold.

 

[Whether or not]

Haha Wayne Rooney is clueless but no doubting just like Frank Lampard some club will give them another job. Sometimes even good former players turn into shit managers. Crazy why they sacked there other manager for that clown in the first place.

I think it is possibly a bit unfair to compare Rooney, who is utterly clueless, with Lampard. The latter got Derby into a play off final, managed Chelsea twice, first time in a transfer embargo, with COVID on top, and second time in the post Ukraine sanction period in a season where they imploded. His effort at Everton was no worse than others there and he kept them up. I’m not saying he is the next Pep by any means, but I suspect he brings a bit more than Rooney.

The scruffy **** will be running a pub and weighing in at 25 stone in the next 3 years

Only if he goes on a diet

Not seen any headlines to the effect 'Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City sack Wayne Rooney'. There'll be copy editors all over the country crying into their Cheerios.

He's come out with a statement saying he doesn't feel 13 weeks is long enough to change anything.

13 weeks is a short time, that's true. Taking a team from 6th to 20th in just 13 weeks is incredibly bad.

He should think about that flipside instead of feeling hard done by.

Cant believe Gary Cook was involved, got 3 years of his contract left.
More money than sense.

3 and a half year contract. Nice work if you can get it

That last sentence is one of a complete lack of self awareness.
He believes he will get another job as manager!
