It was the manner in which he left that stung a little more than the fact that he did, but as I said, it's not really something I dwell on, especially given what the club nad us fans have been through since.

LazloW Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Lampard to Rooney = Frying Pan to Fire. Rooney did an OK job for part of last season when he managed to make the most of the siege mentality and feelings of being hard done to and got us believing we could get out of the mess. But once we got that sniff, we faded away. Not pulling trees up in America and managing another struggling team without any clear sign of getting them out of trouble (unless things have changed recently and I’ve missed it). So question is, apart from his name, what justifies his name being linked with Everton? Nothing at all. And there is nothing in his CV that suggests he could get them out of the mess. Still, matters not a jot to me what Everton do… but would like them to come down to burst that entitlement bubble there fans have.

I enjoyed Lampard's season at Derby but as a lot of us felt at the time, his decision to go to Chelsea was a huge risk at that stage of his managerial career. He's suffered for it now. Subsequent events support the old adage that great players do not automatically qualify to become great managers as history has shown. I think Lampard suffers from a shortfall in motivational skills; like Bryan Robson before him his head goes down when results aren't going his way. He looks to players to meet his own high playing standards but few are equipped to do that. I think he was wrong to part with Jody Morris who seemed to provide a good interface to the players. I think eventually Rooney will exceed Lampard as a manager as he has more natural managerial qualities but going to Everton in their toxic turmoil, most managers will be on a hiding to nothing. Rooney should go and give it a bash at a stable Championship club first to establish his credentials. I never have understood the leap back to Washington if he is looking for development. I hope we are playing Everton next season. Edited January 23, 2023 by Brailsford Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Rooney's performance in Washington I suspect Everton are best steering clear of him as well. After watching us for the first few games under Rosenior I am totally convinced that Liam was doing most if not all of the coaching. Rooney was a great face for the brand and a figure to rally around, but when it comes down to being out on the grass and shaping a team I strongly suspect he needs an awful lot of help.

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I love Rooney for what he did with us, but I really don't think he's all that as a manager. But Everton make terrible decisions so it wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing at all... Well, there's the city of his birth. The club he supported as a mucky kid. His 6 year youth (playing) career. His FA Youth Cup Final goal, where he revealed his "Once a blue, always a blue" tee shirt. Becoming Everton's second youngest first team starter, and their all time youngest first team goal scorer (*At the time). Becoming the youngest Prem scorer (*At the time) whilst wearing an Everton shirt. "That" goal that put a stop to Arsenal's 30 match unbeaten run, (plus others), and the onset of his pro career. His return as a playing messiah, and "That" goal from his own half, v west ham. Don't get me wrong, I'd agree with those who opine that he'd be foolish to go back there now, as things stand... but to say there are no links between Wayne Rooney and Everton FC are equally as foolish... in my opinion.
