[@2005Kam]

So Rooney plays a large part in getting a Birmingham team, that should have been mid table at least, relegated and Plymouth who were very nearly relegated and are probably going to be battling relegation again decide that he's the man to take them up the table next season? I can't make sense of it.

[@tom4115]

He’s famous

[@sacred1827]

Maybe they think he can improve as a manager given he's still in his 30s? People can learn from failure.

Absolutely disgusting he is getting this job. He relegated Birmingham and has proven in every role he is utterly incompetent

[@ashwilliams4959]

I keep seeing him blamed for brum but let's be fair, it's over a 40 game season and he managed 15 games. How at fault was he and how much was the club. Eg you could throw pep guardiola at the chelsea and United jobs and he'd fail. Not necessarily his fault but the clubs are run like a burnt out bus

[@Jtggllkyhfff]

@@ashwilliams4959 come on stop being daft. 15 games he did so much damage took them from 6th into a relegation battle and was so bad they got rid. He was awful at Washington 27% win ratio and absolutely awful at Derby. Good players don’t make good managers or leaders and sick to death or people getting free passes for good jobs when no where near good enough.

[@ashwilliams4959]

@Jtggllkyhfff I don't really know much about his career, am actually asking lol I did see more of his time at Derby, but they had massive problems off the pitch, things unrelated to any manager so he was doomed to fail there. Didn't pay attention to his time in USA not interested in soccer 🤦‍♂️ with brum all I know is he had 15 games and lost most of em. but wasnt he there at the start of the season? If so then yeah his prep for the season failed but if he took over while they were 6th sounds like a mid season take over. I'm not giving him a free pass or anything, just a worried plymouth fan trying to understand more about Rooney as a manager

[@Jtggllkyhfff]

@@ashwilliams4959 you should be very worried as a Plymouth fan sadly.

[@theianprender-cast3863]

It’s a real mystery why more of these top line ex pros don’t do this. Of course a few do, but far too many of the big names feel they don’t need this step in their coaching journey. Take a step back, take on a coaching gig, see where it takes you.

[@mrmonkey2214]

And if that is the case he'll be fine. He made a few quid from his playing days. Worst case scenario, he fails at Argyle and he'll go in to punditry work. All the best to Rooney.

[@portcullis5622]

People are saying this is a terrible appointment, but to be fair, Rooney did play a major role in keeping Plymouth in the Championship last season. . . .by dragging Birmingham City down.

[@timewithoutconsequence4611]

Because of Wayne, Plymouth survived.

[@kernowchris]

Awful appointment by Argyle. This had got Neil Dewsnips hands all over it. The Owner Simon Hallet really needs a new DoF as Dewsnip has outstayed his welcome. Only reason Rooney was picked is because Dewsnip knew him from way back, in the same way he knew Ian Foster. Clearly Plymouth have an amateur recruitment policy, no research just scouse mates. A ridiculous way to run a football club.

[@lifeson90]

yeah credit to wayne for the determination and to plymouth for seeing that determination, good luck to the lad

[@Br1xt3R]

Someone tell Wayne about Skim milk.

[@mikesweeney1827]

[@richardpincher8936]

I doubt he's leant anything from his time at my club (Blues). He absolutely destroyed us. We never wanted him and it comes as no surprise to see that the Plymouth fans don't want him either. He did absolutely nothing to warm himself to the fans. He has no self awareness, no man management 6 way of connecting with the fans. I can't believe any club is giving him a chance. I fear the worst for Plymouth. I feel for them and the fans. He brings nothing but toxicity and negativity. KRO 💙

[@paulmcnallyfll8228]

Rooney was a great player but I can’t imagine him ever succeeding at management for various reasons. His best role would be in a coaching capacity. Baffles me apart from commercial reasons & football contacts why any club would take an interest in him

[@richl7910]

Dear oh dear! As a blues fan .. Plymouth steer well clear.

[@mrdeafa25]

Liam Rosenior carried him at Derby and he failed miserably at Birmingham so what on earth are Plymouth seeing in him?

I think Rooney should be a number 2 for a few years. Ease his way back into management see how others handle players man management etc.

`and if you`re fool enough to employ him thats on you`.....! Says it all really, are we (Argyle) so desperate that we have to go for a man that has failed consistantly as a manager? If he wasn`t called Wayne Rooney, and didn`t have a connection with Niel Dewsnip, would he even get an interview? Poor ambition and common sense from the club if this goes ahead, and will probably lose the faith with many PAFC supporters. Maybe we have been knocked back by prefered candidates and ARE getting desperate to get anyone in charge of game day so that Dewsnip and Nancekivell can stick with their day jobs!

Plymouth Argyle are not a yo-yo club like Rotherham United.. silly to make out they are so they can't ever really get established in the Championship which is nonsense. Biggest city in UK to have never had a top flight club. Rooney should be aiming for more than just simply surviving in that league next season.

[@bbdeano]

He kept Plymouth up last season. Maybe he can do it again?

[@Bluejohn]

Wayne Rooney got the job at Birmingham purely because he was a name, not because he was a good manager. Blues supporters were dreading his appointment and were right to do so. He came in and tried to change both the make up of the team, who were 6th at the time and the way they played, even though they had won the previous 2 games. He thought he knew better, he didn't. Birmingham dropped down the League like a stone and when he was sacked we were in a relegation battle. If it wasn't for the name 'Wayne Rooney', he would never even be considered for a managers job.

[@neilgoodyer9606]

Wayne Rooney. Great player and proper bloke. Good luck to the man. Not everyone succeeds as a manager after a playing career as good as his. Everyone’s obsessed with criticising people these days. Obviously as they go back to their mundane 9 to 5! Jealousy and social media, you can’t beat it.

[@Bluejohn]

Obviously his incompetence didn't relegate the team you support.

[@johnhelms8226]

For Rooney, this is a lifeline for his coaching career. As a Plymouth Argyle fan, I think it’s a very bad fit. Argyle has a very limited budget compared to other Championship teams. Rooney will not get the expensive players he wants. He will have to get the most out of the players he has. He will have to use motivation, tactics, teaching, and player evaluation to get his players to overachieve. I don’t see any evidence that he is good at any of that.

[@tonyantoniou9271]

Plymouth are too sensible to appoint him, I have a feeling that Martin would make a good manger should he get the inclination for such a role, Unlike Rooney and Gerrard who have the inclination but lack lack the skill set for such a role.

[@ianthomson6554]

Ball is back in Rooney's court but all evidence shows that he will fail at Plymouth. I am sure that he wants to succeed but he is simply an outstanding player but bad Manager
