Jourdan Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Good luck to Rooney. Let’s hope it works out. Championship safety this year, mid-table in 21-22, play offs in 22-23 would be a good trajectory to follow. The club needs time to dust itself down and get its affairs in order. Maybe Rooney and the club could grow together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I am normally cautious with new managers but I have this nagging feeling that he might do very well indeed I also like the ruthless streak he is showing ( Marriott - we had a chat and it’s best he sees his future back at Sheff wendsday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay they are up. Two amazing managers and two failures.... lets hope he falls into the same category as the first two and not the second two.

Geriatram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 It's a little concerning that SP made the announcement and not MM, I hope Mel's alright health wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we have though and this saga is coming to an end. Totally agree, and not expecting one, hence my hint that there "probably won't be one", when they do get paid. I do however, expect some form of "leak" to the usual twitterazzi bods. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Think it’s the right decision and he deserves his chance I’ve seen enough of a change since his interim appointment to think he can turn it round we just need the takeover to be finalised now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramley Apple Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 The only reservation I have is that if he is successful here then he'll be off to a Premier League team soon as and we'll be back to having to find a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 This seems to of taken the the notice away from the takeover they’ve done a good job in doing that ? I really wasn’t sure on Rooney at first I thought we needed experience in the position we are in but he’s changed it a lot, unlucky to lose late on to Preston and obviously should of been 2/3 up at Wednesday so hopefully if he gets the chance to build a side still unsure he will but hopefully if he does it’ll work out for us and him and hopefully if it does united don’t make the call so early like Chelsea did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I was very excited when the news broke that Rooney was joining the club as a player, and his immediate influence upon properly joining in January 2020 was massive. My opinion of him at our club then swung when he seemed to thwart our side. The unsubstantiated claims started flying around that we contractually couldn't drop him, and I felt like his reputation was strangling us and holding us back. However... since he's stepped back from playing and focused on management, he's been fantastic. He's taken a side with poor confidence, poor performances, and disastrous off-the-pitch events and turned us into a team that are exciting to watch. Confidence has improved and individual players are rapidly improving. It's just nice to finish games debating who deserves to be man of the match, rather than deciding who was the least poo. He's clearly a very intelligent and passionate football man, even though that might not be so obvious at first glance. I'm also thrilled that we've got some stability finally. To go without a permanent manager for 2 months in the middle of a season is poor. Hopefully his commitment to us means we have stabilised considerably off the pitch too, because if a takeover is announced in the coming days, then the fortunes and prospects of this club will have improved astronomically in the space of a few short days.
