Could be managing them, or helping Southgate understand basics of football.
If Wayne was still playing he'd be a £150m footballer
Rooney and Ronaldo was probably the best strike pairing
I've seen in Premier league. They were telepathic at times.
Rooney would improve any team as a player in his prime.
£150 million would be cheap.

beckham and teddy sherringham was fantastic and when ted went back to spurs beckham and van nistelrooy was a perfect replacement....
Rooney & Ronnie. There was one picture of them in the off season. CR7 was fit toned and bronzed ready to go. Roo looked like a cross between the michelin man & eden hazard.
Ferguson used to say it took Rooney 5 or 6 games to get up to match fitness at the start of a new season for Utd.
Which just goes to show...
All those times he rocked up at a world cup or euros for ingerlund, especially off the back of an injury, they might as well have left him at home.
Nothing ever changes with england does it...

This thread hasn't quite turned out how the OP had intended
Agreed Duffy..but while we are on Rooney thought he did pretty well as a pundit. Just watched Ian Wright - I like him...but...he is getting very slack now as apundit...nothing to add whatsover tonite in fact found wanting for any insight or preparedness whatsover...possibly on the jolly. Ange was good.
For as long as Ian Wright has been a pundit, he has alway been made to be the third leg, always stuck on the end, always left with the crumbs, that's why he once left matach of the day back when Hansen was there with Shearer, he said there was nothing left to analyse after they were finished. Nothing's changed then. Why does and Irishman in Keane get first dibs on England matches for example ffs, ask the Englisman first, Kind Regards.
I have to say that as much as Keane is my favourite United player, he's not on the panel for his tactical analysis is he, he's there for the occasional blow up, what he contributes by way of "effort" "passion" etc etc etc, we kind of know already.

Which makes him compelling viewing, Duffy. He’d say the things others wouldn’t dare say.
Yeah, I agree, I was just saying, horses for courses, we know what he's there for, nothing better than most of United's performances over the past few seasons when he's been on the panel, particularly when he's rowed with Carragher.
well that didnt start well did it?
Long hard struggle ahead for wayne if he lasts beyond the Autumn

sacked in the morning.

2/1 with the books. I can’t see many being tempted at 1.07 today!
indeed it will settle but the 9/4 before the game will have well gone
He's going around the divisions like a serial killer ffs

Tevez was massively under rated in their CL winning season. Tevez work rate and technical ability was top class.

van nistleroy wasnt too shabby
but the pairing was pretty good for sure

Why is Mr Rooney in management? He was pants at Birmingham (relegated because of him). A 4-0 drubbing by |Sheffield Wednesday. His team is 15/8 2f to be relegated come 2025. No doubt he'll be gone again before for another manager to correct his management mistakes.
What price would they be for relegation with a different manager? They are one of the worst teams in the league. They be relegation favourites no matter what.
Seems to have inspired them.
Can he maintain it, or, will he be poached!

We knew they were going to be in a relegation battle all season. A fantastic comeback today, decent home form.
A couple of wins and they’re mid table! A bit early to be calling for his head.

I hope he can make a good fist of it at Plymouth and defy all those queuing up to hope he fails.
I imagine it’s mainly Liverpool fans and United haters who want to see him fail.
u imagine too much kenbo... the guys a crap manager
he ws a great footballer when he was young

That’s why he’s managing a crap.
Why are you so eager to see him fail?

tbh im not eager to see him fail ...if he turned into a great manager i wd be the first to appluad him.. fact his he just aint got it
I don’t think he will be a great manager. I think anything other than relegation this season would have to be seen as a success though.
I think he’s probably doing it to learn his trade. It used to work fairly well in the past.
he is not bright enough to be a successful manager end of
if i owned a fc i wd never ever employ him as a manager.
i wd defo employ him to teach younger playes how to play football for sure

He speaks well about football.
Proved to be a decent pundit too.

There is a lot more to being a successful manager these days than giving good team talks.
Not bothered if he does well or not and Rooney's spoken English has improved over time but he is never an orator never mind a great one in an industry where communication skills are paramount, he's there based on his name not his record, doesn't have the personality to be a leader of men and could never make it as a Premier League manager, your level of intelligence does need to be multi layered and multi faceted to deal with an array of differing situations and more importantly, people, Fergie was a genius at getting the best out of players by understanding their personalities and knowing how to press their buttons, some players he went for in the dressing room knowing they could take it and knowing they'd want to show him on the pitch in response, others he knew couldn't so left them alone and put an arm around their shoulder instead, this all based on stories of ex United players years later. Rooney seems a good egg but at the same time, a simple guy who doesn't have all the mental tools necessary to manage at the top. The Plymouth owner employed him to attract more attention to the club, get them on TV more, better players to the club and improved sponsorship deal, same as Birmingham. There's no way he would have been the best candidate to hand his CV into that job when it came up. Kind Regards.
I'll be honest, he's lasted longer than I thought he would. But, it all be over after the Bristol City game. Will they take Steven Schumacher back? He was doing a great job before he left for the Bet365 money. I suggest they offer him the job but they put in a clause that another club would have to pay a substantial amount to Plymouth if they wanted him as their manager.
Plymouth are now bottom of the league after Portsmouth win over Coventry.
Not looking good and home to Boro today

4-0 defeat by coventry and remain bottom of the league conceded 21 goals in last 6 games and 3 points from last 8 games -dead man walking for sure
..another defeat.
shipped 51 goals at the halfway stage.
won't see the new year in the role if the club has any sense.

He’s like Henry the Eighth. But with multiple relegations instead of wives.
left plymouth my mutual consent ...surely thats the end of his managerial career
He could reignite his career in women’s football like Phil Neville did
Putting aside Rooney's lack of credentials - not quite sure where people had Plymouth finishing...they were 4th from bottom last season and just a point off relegation, not aware they spent any noteable money in the summer in fact appear to have sold more than spent..so until very recently was doing about par for the job..
Feel for Rooney, what a way to see in the New Year. Your wife is more famous than you. You lose your job. Hopefully he got a good pay off.
He'll get plenty of work as a pundit if he wants it as he's good.
I think if he wants to be a manager he needs a better
staff around him, and a team with a chance of
progression, he rather set himself up here, but he gave
it a go.

dont reckon his wife is more famous than him ....smarter yes
Plymouth were playing like a side that hated him though
Wasn't taking training, the players looked baffled as to what they were suppose to be doing
Schumacher shouldn't have left them for Stoke as well, he should just go back and start a fresh

Shame for both Rooney and Plymouth.
I imagine he will still get offers from similar clubs in the future. An ambitious chairman wanting to make a big name managerial appointment to give his club fifteen minutes of fame.
His name will probably crop up every time Everton and Utd are managerless too.

Rooney hasn't picked the best opportunities to kick start his managerial career. Top players wanting management have to be more careful.

S.Kenbo no way! Rooney has totally failed in 2 Championship jobs, and didn't do much in his other 2 tries, no chance he gets another chance anywhere near that level. And he will not be mentioned for Man United or Everton anymore than Tony Adams gets linked with Arsenal.
So ,effectively best player England ever had,won every throphy,can’t manage.
Ex players,who aren’t very bright,just offer ,repeat loop style management,basically copy repeat.hoping knowledge from their playing experience can win the day.
Or
You get a maths professor who’s never seen a match,solves problems and hope he can adapt and solve it.
The idiots aren’t the players,but the idiots who own the club,who seem to have no business nouse to create a successful team,business.so how the hell did they get so wealthy that they could buy the club.

Rooney had his chance at Brum all he had to do was keep them in Championship with promise of money to spend this season Says the players unfit then gives them 2 weeks off in int break told told Jay Stansfield he wasn't a goalscorer asked Bilik to play as box to box player who is now the best defender in league one It was always the players fault when they lost. Boxing day last after boring nil nil at home said he didn't care about fans just wanted a clean sheet Too lazy to do apprenticeship deserves every bit of criticism he gets
Hopefully for his own self respect he will realise management is not for him . Its not as if he needs the money or stress.
in no other walk of life would a total failure at a job like this guy or Gerard or Lampard be given a total nauseating wind up his hole article like this

Gary Rowett (former Brum manager) once said he didn't care if he was sacked as he'd walk into another job 2 months later

Clearly you don’t follow ftse companies board room changes.
Dido Harding is seen has a top ceo.
Your record is irrelevant,your just guiding a business,for 3 years ,average length of employment.where your pension fund covers the loss.
Talent,suitability for role is irrelevant.

Nothing can be as bad as Tim Sherwood.
This is the level of managerial appointments.
Why didn’t George weahs fake cousin,blag his way into a job.
This is the true scandal.
Has footy fans we see the chaotic appointments at board room level.
These are nothing compared to the FTSE companies,which aren’t as much in the spotlight.

Rooney should have joined a wealthy club in a sh1t league. eg my club York City.
everyone seems to like him having read recent reports on how he was with fans and players but i think he just doesnt have what it takes
maybe he should be a coach rather than a manager
maybe he should be a coach rather than a manager
Strange thing is apparently he does very little of the coaching, possibly would be suited to a director of football over him although would he expect lower league players to be able to do the things he could?
I read Rooney doesn't take charge of coaching.
Rooney was an inedible player from the age of 15 or 16. He needs to work with young players, get them behaving like proper pros. Get them able to make the giant leap from academy to 1st team players.

Rooney has potential to be some sort of mentor, been about the only manager who has been able to understand the pitfalls of Ravel Morrisons character. Maybe do some coaching at one of those second chance centres where young lads been released at 17/18 . He definitely needs to be kept somewhere in the game.

None of that stopped Rooney being an absolute monster on the pitch.

Wayne and his brothers were good amateur boxers
His brother lost to Travis dickinson in quarter or semi final of aba
and Travis went on to beat George groves in final.

my advice to him wd be to work alomngside a really really good manager for a few years and really learn the trade--still not sure if he has the intelligence to be a successful manager
It didn't Norbert and he was a terrific player with a great attitude, however even he'd admit his lifestyle choices weren't the best and he could probably have been even better if he'd got that right..
Sound advice the dragon, I think he does have the sporting intelligence to succeed
but working as a no 2 to Moyes or the like would have helped.
He's seen fergie first hand, plus numerous others, so should have learnt a fair bit all ready.

true yhtl but not quite the same as when you are a player as you have a differrent focus
id like hime to work alongside the newcastle manager for a few years as hes seen football at all levels and i think he could learn from him

Howe is more off road, imo
Maybe rafa would be a better mentor, or a foreign coach working in uk
adapting to different challenges. (no not amorin)

He's a good pundit, great understanding of game.
Plenty work there, but it's not direct involvement, which he seems to want.
