It's surprising eh? That's why I like polls. Gives the silent majority a chance to 'voice' their opinion. Though, judging by some of the comments, it may include a number of people who want Rooney gone but feel we have no choice. Also, I wonder about the number of jokers(?), the mavericks(?) who think this is fun and who want to extend his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I do think the results would be different if there was a "money is no object" qualifier on his sacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in that group, I think it'd be risky to spend the money to sack him so we have no choice to keep him until he resigns. Could add an option for "ask Rooney resign/leave by mutual consent with low payoff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave him a chance when he first took over as manager. But his tactics, substitutions, results etc were appalling. Now it's just the media circus. The club needs a reset. Ideally with a new - football/club focused - manager. You need another category ‘would sack him for footballing reasons but recognise we can’t currently as we are skint’….

Igor Igor Whats the Score? Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 We fired Rush & Keogh for alleged contractual breach…….a few legal challenges later and we apparently had to shell out significantly in compensation to them both. I think Rooney has to walk otherwise we are stuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernRam Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 A few weeks of pre season for a new manager isn’t ideal, but it’s much better than having to bring someone in to fix a sunk ship come January after Wayne has finally walked. Byrne, Jozwiak, Sibley, Bielik & Knight (when fit) are players that can be immense under a manager that actually knows what they’re doing. Hopefully we can let him go by mutual consent, give him a small payoff and let McClaren sort this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite enough to sack him for the weekend antics though it brought the club into disrepute the day he'd talked about restoring pride and dignity. He should've been sacked for footballing reasons last season. Despite the mitigating circumstances, his performance as the manager was very poor.

rammieib Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 As a married man of four, just why the heck when you have a spare night would you choose to go clubbing and stay in a hotel in Manchester instead of spending it with your wife/4 kids, especially when you have the worlds media looking at any chance to jump on you. I simply don't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sacked him for this he would appeal and the circus would continue. Currently he is unsackable unfortunately…..very very lucky in my opinion…..

Ambitious Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Rooney can do what he likes at this point and until he gets bored, we've all got front row seats to the show. We aren't sacking him. He may go the first three months of the season without picking up a single point and he would still be employed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
