angieram Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This could be Rooney's first opportunity to show what he's made of. He needs to give that armband to someone who will take on the added responsibility and lead by example. Can he inspire that in someone? I hope so.

I think the only one that fits those criteria is Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of character it has to be Davies. Given the mess we're in and the need for leadership on the pitch, perhaps that means he's first on the team sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthram Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 If Rooney is running the show, he will start with Bird and give him the skipper's role. He rates him very highly, Davies is not a regular. Nor is Shinnie, so I will be surprised if anyone else will get the captain's armband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilsonram12 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hope it's not bird, he needs to learn the game first, needs to be an experienced regular player out of waghorn, wisdom, Byrne, Marshall or even Lawrence ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleEatonRam Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Maybe it's just me but I've always thought the role of captain has been given overdue emphasis. Ultimately it's just an armband. The general idea seems to be that it's about leadership, but I'd say that is the responsibility of every player on the pitch. They all need to show those qualities at some point. It's a team sport. Captaincy is ceremonial in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just outta curiosity... Why hasn't Rooney got his badges? Has he even got the basic qualifications or ever taking a FA Course? Surely if he "always wanted to be a manager" he could've actually gained something by now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that’s possibly true when the team is full of top players, when you’ve got a team full of average players, young players, and players with little confidence, then a captain on the pitch is vital. When heads drop or one of the young players makes a mistake, the captain is the one who can lift them and refocus their efforts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read somewhere a quote from 2017 from him saying he'd started his badges. If he still hasn't got them after 3 plus years he's either dropped out or doing resits!?

I think he has the basic badges, however you need Continental A or Pro license to 'manage' a team. He is on some sort of fastrack to get one or both now.
