What I imagine has happened is Rooney has worked with recruitment team to identify players he believes can implement the style of play he wanted and that either Birmingham can't afford them or they're not a big enough pull to attract them and given how the current squad cannot do what he wants of them, the board had to sack him with their tails firmly between their legs. Justice anyway for John Eustace who I hope is sunning it up on a Caribbean island right now.

@seanc6042 4 ай бұрын

Irrespective of future transfer plans Rooney failed with the current squad who previously were getting results so there’s no way the board could back him spending money. Board took a gamble didn’t work out, Rooney clearly doesn’t have it and his statement is so vague that he couldn’t point to any improvements he has made during his brief stint. Professional football is highly paid but you have show immediate results or out the door.

You clearly don't know much about the situation. We cannot spend much this January due to Profit and Sustainability rules thanks to Harry Redknapp being allowed to spend like a kid in a sweet shop a few years ago. This summer we will be far better off, but if you really think that these players are not good enough, how did they get into 6th place in the first place? No one sane thought we would go up this year, but a top half finish was well within the clubs capabilities until Cook sacked Eustace, and then didn't get an upgrade.

Guardiola started with the Barcelona youth team. Conte started off as an assistant at Siena, and earned the opportunity to get a crack at the Juventus job. Ancelotti did his apprenticeship with the national team, did decent work at reggiana, and then nearly won the league with parma before getting the Juventus and Milan jobs. See where I'm going? Former big players today don't do the hard graft. The want decent jobs at either prem or championship level on a plate, without really having properly tested themselves. Rooney should really be immersing himself into coaching first. He should try and join a club as a coach, learn from more experienced coaches and managers and then apply for actual managerial jobs. Arteta also did that.

Rooney is only 38 and has not served his time as an assistant coach and first coach before manager. He hasn’t learnt his trade. Look at the efforts that Harry Kewell has gone through over a number of years, failure as a lower level as manager, and then taken under Ange’s wing for a couple of years. Now off to Japan. Rooney needs a serious high level manager as mentor. Or a different career.

Ultimately it does seem like Rooney's inarticulate ways make it much harder for him to succeed. Nobody can seriously doubt his footballing IQ, which is very, very high, he was a player who clearly had a picture in his mind and a real understanding of teammates. Unfortunately that doesn't always translate to being a manager. Rooney might be one of the best examples of a great player not making a good manager.

@SLSAMG 4 ай бұрын

This shouldn't come as a shocking revelation. Players who have seen success in the sport rarely become tactically astute touchline geniuses, and vice versa, and appointing former players with zero to very little relevant managerial experience will always be a recipe for disaster. It requires a certain level of intellect; players like Zidane and Xavi have this attribute, but they didn't just get tossed into the deep end. They got their managerial degrees, started with the academy, then progressed slowly. The case of Rooney is no different than that of Lampard and Gerrard. Nepotism and favoritism, rather than objectivity, seem to be the mantra in a region that will never become world-beaters on an international level, which explains why Southgate remains manager to this day. Rooney will always have the odds stacked against him.

Rooney had natural talent …in his feet. He’s never had to think about the game as his magic feet’s abilities did the talking. Talented footballers seldom make good managers as they don’t have to analyse the game It just comes naturally, Pick an industrious player that worked hard on coaching and tactics in the team and promote him. After all you are not paying the manager for his footballing skills, you’re paying him for his coaching and tactic skills.

The thing with e players like Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney is surly at SOME POINT reality hits you and you would accept that you haven't got what it takes to achieve anything as a manager? As Simon has said countless times on talkSPORT, "No one can take away what these people have done in their playing careers. But that then mean that they should just be handed jobs because of the glamour'legacy attached to their names." He has a point considering everyone else has to learn their trade in the lower leagues and it can take YEARS to be offered a top job. But for me personally I just end up thinking that if you keep consistently failing at something most people would eventually pack it in. But all 3 are either too proud or delusional to think they have some kind if tangible future in football as a head coach.

Very similar to the Gerrard situation. Great player, but afforded opportunities that should only go to good, proven managers. Major misconception that Gerrard was a success in Scotland. He won 1 trophy from 11 whilst spending the more money than any other club, St Johnstone won more domestic trophies in his time up North… and for his failures, given a massive job with Villa 😂 The exact same mistakes made with Rooney.

Look at what Bielsa did at Leeds. He transformed the team in 3 weeks… 3 weeks! He barely bought anyone and turned a mid table team into league winners. Good managers get results quickly! You don’t need ‘time’ to build if you’re good and have proven tactics. Perhaps early on you do but Rooney has already managed clubs for a number of years. Never should have been appointed.

He's been exposed time and time again that he is a terrible manager. When he was at Derby it was Liam Rosenior that was doing the management and Wayne was the face of the management. It's no coincidence that Liam is doing pretty well at Hull city. Let's just hope that other teams will now be seeing the fact that he is not a very good manager. Just because he was a top rate footballer it does not a decent manager.

I’ll never figure it out. Of the all time great managers in football who’s been a world class player? Ancelotti, Cryuff and who else? Yet you’ve got the Mourinhos, Klopps, Fergusons and Cloughs of the world. All of them grafted through the lower leagues and earned their spots. I’m amazed at how a spot with as much nostalgia and football hasn’t learned a thing from its past.

To sack a manager when you're in 6th place is a terrible decision, and we've seen it before. I agree totally with what Simon Jordan said and have been saying this since his appointment. Do I blame Rooney for the bad performances? Yes. Do I blame him for taking the job? No. Anyone managing in America would bite your hand off to manage in England when, let's be honest, he has never done anything to merit that opportunity and I guess he will never manage in England again. As a manager, you need to take a look at your players and work to their advantage, not your own. Even in the 1st game, you could see the players were not comfortable with what they were being asked to do. Then you have the team selection and the substitutions. If I didn't know about rooneys great footballing career, I would never have guessed he was a footballer because his knowledge of the game leaves a lot to be desired.

What Mr @Herooooo111 says is the truth too The problem with ex footballers is that they’re not doing their apprenticeship first, British managers like Hodgson, mclaren etc started managing at very small clubs in Europe etc to first prove themselves and become good managers. People like Rooney and lampard and Gerard are going straight to high level manager
