"Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle''

[Crooked_rain]

What I don't get with Rooney is he must know that he's a shit manager and will only last a few months therfore damaging his reputation and legacy why do it, he can't be short of money.

But people who have become top level in sports often don't have that mindset. To become a top level pro, you often need level of drive, motivation and obsession that's far beyond most people. It's more than just ability. Then you have to factor in that people have been getting smoke blown up their arse for decades.

I think some of them still carry that mindset/delusion into management, despite their management skills being nowhere near their playing skills.

Argyle are currently secretly bottom of the Championship, with a goal difference of -21, ten worse than any other team in the division.

Most of the fault lies with the people who keep offering failures like Shrek and Steve Bruce regular employment.

These clubs would obviously be aware of their track records with former teams, and yet regardless of how abysmal they have been they are still offered plum management jobs, thus costing the club millions. It's like some tax-evasion scam, offering lucrative wages to known failures.

I don’t think Bruce can be categorised as a failure, as much as I hate him.

Often, he has taken teams from the Championship and won promotion with them, into the far superior Premier League, where it is always a struggle for promoted sides.

His tactics and style of play are fucking awful, on the whole, he has done pretty well with what he’s had to work with.

Shrek, on the other hand, is fucking useless.

Then, iust like that, Plymouth Argyle become Plymouth Argyle again, instead of Wayne Rooneys Plymouth Argyle. Funny how the sycophantic media drop these names when these teams turn to shite.
