Also, was this the season to go with a "trainee" manager, do you think? I was joking. I’m Rooney out and never in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelovebelow Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 This is all down to Mel Morris. He's appointed 3 managers in a row with no championship experience. Lampard wouldn't have done well without the loans. Cocu was risky. He did the same with Clement. We're not a training wheels club. Rookie players, rookie managers.

LittleEatonRam Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Ever since Rooney walked into this club everything has been about him. The media coverage, the fans' attention, the team selection, the decision to appoint him manager. He's had it all his own way. Played like garbage under his manager but guaranteed a start nonetheless, clearly eyed up the manager's job from the get go and, as always, has gotten exactly what he wanted. I'm absolutely sick of this club and its fanbase being in thrall to celebrity players who didn't know or care we existed until we offered them a job. Whoever the new owners are I hope they don't make decisions based on publicity anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Kicks Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Come on Mel, you've got one more sacking in you before you leave. Just bring back Lamps & Jody. I know hiring a manager for a 2nd time who previously binned us for someone else is embarrassing, but you've done it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of his managerial performance he's done ok. I know our current run is dragging us back into the relegation scrap, but if you'd told me when he took over that we'd be out of the relegation zone in late March I'd have taken it. What doesn't sit well with me is that he was given the job at all considering he was part of the coaching team that had us playing so poorly in the first place and his own dreadful form was of great detriment to Cocu's tenure. We chose to reward failure, well it seems that way. We all know the real reason Rooney was appointed, yet another celebrity hire and the desperate hope that it might somehow encourage the fake sheikh to find some real money for the takeover.

Is Harry Wilson taking Cardiff up...fairly certain he’s sat on the bench half the time. Rooney has had Mengi from Utd, isn’t it exactly the same scenario as Tomori? I’m not trying to say he was a great manager as we didn’t have long enough to see, but saying he was a bad choice from Mel is absolute rubbish.

I think most would agree he was a big part of why we climbed the table last season. The problem is that he was also a big part of why we had such an abysmal start this season and why his predecessor lost his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably doesn’t want to be associated with the tripe being served up currently so is keeping a low profile. I wouldn’t want my name associated with performances that stink the place out would you ? That was a winnable game today with the correct approach. I read a post from someone who said he was up to the back teeth with supporters embracing celebrity managers, no problem with that, I got on the Rooney bandwagon because I thought he was going to bring us everything he learned under Fergie, not because he’s a big name. I’m baffled how he does the exact opposite to what he learned at Old Trafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
