Maybe because there might genuinely be a rebuild and we can judge Rooney with a proper team. Based on the Alonso takeover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clough took over in January in 2008/09 after 26 games had been played (just over half a season); Edited April 24, 2021 by LeedsCityRam Nuwtfly and Deej 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry have gained 6 on us. Forest have gained 2. All that across 32 games. Sounds bleak if you think at best we could gain 1 point on Coventry. Sounds ace if you think we could have(at best) a 19 point gain on Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course three of those teams were promoted from League One (all with small squads) & Wednesday have been a FFP/managerial basketcase all season. Take the effect of Bielik away & the 'Rooney bounce' looks even less impressive. In addition, in the 8 games we've played with Rooney in charge against those 5 sides, our record is W1 D3 L4...which shows a clear inability to get results in 'crucial matches'. Desperately need to buck that trend today. ramboy63, Carnero, May Contain Nuts and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case surely all those who were calling for Cocu to be sacked, many very vocal and subjecting him to ridicule, should be wanting the same for Wazza too?? If they are being consistent???

Cocu's overall record in charge is better than Rooney's, yes. 32.3% win record for Cocu v 30.3% for Rooney. To be fair, can only think of one very vocal Rooney fan on here now who was also very anti-Cocu & as we both know, he's now adopting the Donald Trump approach to inconvenient facts..
