If they have wad of cash then they don't need a Rooney type appointment to generate interest and I doubt they'd leave their newly acquired investment in the hands of a novice. Their appointment will be an interesting indication of their ambition. Unlikely to be Rooney you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England Ram Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 No. He has in no way earned the right to manage a club yet. Not even spent time as an assistant or as a manager of an under 21 side to show he has something about him. I feel it would be the wrong move for us in a big way. If he was an assistant to a more experienced manager then I’d take that to give him time to learn and support. I just hope the new owners don’t see his name and think he will be some kind of saviour.

Jourdan Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think the trouble is that he was too involved in the previous coaching set up and their failings. The timing would be awful, especially given all of the media speculation in recent weeks. It wouldn’t be a good look whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondest Goat Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 If he does well he will be gone soon just like lampard. Probably even if he doesnt do especially well just like lampard. Not an appointment for the long term at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 6 minutes ago, Gritstone Ram said: So who are the two? RoyMac and? I think I was number 2 (though others have voted the same now as well). To be honest, I'd actually prefer not him, but I anticipated what the overall consensus would be, and wanted to add some balance. I think there are positives and negatives, and might be a bit of a gamble. But I don't think it is as bad as some are making out it would be.

I remember Fawaz went into f*rest said they were gonna appoint an iconic manager then poached odriscoll from Crawley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I think it stems from who the most likely interim/caretaker manager is. This is almost always someone already at the club, with the contenders (IMO) being: Rooney, Rosenior, Walker, Wassall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Rooney could go on to be a great manager and it would surprise me. He's a winner But we aren't in a position to let people practice managing. We are in the poo poo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Since Rooney cannot even identify his own best position (he seems to have been determined to play centre mid for the past few years despite being bang average there) there is no way on earth he'd be a capable manager.

BondJovi Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Why would you let a guy who couldn't inspire his teammates on the pitch be in charge? Other than his first few games, I have seen zero leadership from Rooney on the pitch, at a time when we desperately needed it. I loved the idea of Rooney here, but since lockdown the whole thing stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots of newspaper interviews being quoted when we signed him by respected names in the game - memory to crap to quote, sorry. He certainly isn't an 'traditionally' educated man, but lots of football managers aren't. There's quite a few comments from the current squad expressing their 'admiration' for Rooney, probably more than there are for Cocu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
