    The football Rooney and Rosenior managed to have the team playing, and some of the results achieved, under the circumstances of having a squad comprising mainly youth players and veterans, was remarkable.
    I'll go as far as saying that if we'd been allowed to extend Jagielka's contract, we'd have stayed up. Whether Rooney would have stayed on in that event is questionable, as is whether he would have been any kind of success had he continued, but dissing what he did that season is utterly churlish.

    He's already had two seasons in the championship where he was mostly excellent,he will actually be better in a league where there is a little more football played imo

    Why couldn't people just stay in the stands so everyone could see and enjoy the presentation and a lap of honour by the players and management instead of that embarrassing moment in the directors box when nobody knew what to do. Then some people went back, some stayed, so some others went back on. It was chaos just because people can't behave and do as they are asked. 
    There, I seem even more boring and joyless than you.

    Personal grudge against him?
    We played awful football under him,we were relegated and he then cleared off as soon as were.
    He also embarrassed the club at the worst possible time....and as far as I'm.l aware,he's a grown up,not a 18 year kid straight off a housing estate.
    Great footballers are not always great coaches or managers and Rooney's record,here in the states and at Birmingham is an illustration of that.
    The original question was about Plymouth taking him in as manager...do you honestly believe he's going to be a success given his managerial history?

    I wouldn't personally say that getting caught in a hotel room with a couple of girls who then proceeded to take photos of him smashed,whilst our manager,was particularly great conduct to be honest.
    Add that to the previous season where he manufactured Cocus departure by playing so badly and getting so out of shape whilst a player at the latter end of the season and my respect for him as a gaffer dropped even further.
    Plymouth are going to have a hard time with Wayne at the helm.

    That's up to you,I won't be applauding a manager who took us into relegation and promptly cleared off.
    I'd imagine that Birmingham fans are equally as appreciative of his efforts in taking them down into the third tier and he managed that one without a points deduction which is progress I suppose.

    Correct....
    I'd imagine that one of the reasons he came here was to be able to build a team that could compete in the championship.
    Every other time he achieved promotion,his players were largely sold off without suitable replacements for the division.
    This will be the first time he can actually start to compete and hopefully show his true ability to manage in the second tier.

    Without living in the blokes brain, I have no idea if he fancied Cocu's job.  That 30 minutes he had against Blackburn was however, the most singularly revolting performance i've seen, so at that point, in particular how he should have been playing at that level, he clearly didn't fancy keeping himself in the relevant shape or mindset to carry on playing. Any dedication or will to win was gone.

    I don't think you entirely read my post....
    I'm a proper petrolhead and have driven the smoothest diesels and petrols you could ever find on the road but none of them,including top end luxury performance cars match a EV in terms of smoothness,refinement and performance on a public road.
    A 8 speed gearbox is great but when compared to a new EV which doesn't have gears,there's no comparison.
    And,as a person who now delivers cars all around the country,I'm in a great position to actually speak from experience in respect of the charging infrastructure.
    In respect of many of your other comments,you appear to be quoting directly from the daily mail and they are simply nonsense for the most part.
    EVs are inherently more reliable than combustion engine vehicles,they simply have far fewer moving parts and batteries are proving to last longer than was ever expected...there are Tesla's out there on huge mileages on their original batteries.
    Car batteries aren't like phone batteries,they are completely different!
    As I say,whether you are a luddite or not,go and get a 24 hour test drive of a modern EV and you will be amazed.
    Very,very few people ever go back to fuel burning cars after living with an EV.

    Since I retired,I've delivered new cars on a part time basis (about a 50 percent mix of petrols and electric cars,very,very rarely a diesel) and despite my initial scepticism,I've found that the British charging infrastructure is actually now very good and improving on a weekly basis.
    I regularly deliver from 150 to 300 miles away with just a comfort break every couple of hours which allows a 30 minutes top up charge whilst I'm there.
    The trouble is,that the media are perpetrating myths that don't stand up anymore about ev's but it's all the public have to go on
    I started my journey with a plug in hybrid three years ago but having found that I use electric 90 percent of the time,we are moving to a full EV in a couple of months (polestar 2 or Hyundai ioniq 5 most probably as they are my favourite cars to deliver)

    Well,just like in a combustion engine car,the more you put your foot down,the more fuel you use.
    It doesn't effect the battery life however,if that's what you mean.
    The only thing that can reduce a batteries capacity over a long period of time is doing rapid charge after rapid charge,over and over again over a short period of time (rapid chargers are ones you finf on the motorway etc that charge the car in 30 minutes or so,most people charge at home or work on slower chargers which take longer)

    No. The optional maintenance extension seemed prudent, as tesla will charge thousands if anything breaks. Then the really attractive Apr wasn't available so the rates went up. And because it was PCP I thought it sensible to pay for the bodywork package, because they'll shaft you on the return of the vehicle.
