    Nothing to say really, but he was a **** appointment for Birmingham. Always comes across as incredibly thick, no idea why so many people in football thought he would succeed. Surely that's him finished now.

    He can go in the Lampard & Gerrard camp of managers by 'name' only.

    I’m amazed nobody pointed out to the Birmingham board that it was a ridiculous idea to sack a manager when they were 6th (I think) and replace him with Rooney.

    Oh wait…that’s right literally everyone else saw this coming :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Can only think his appointment was a commercial decision rather than a footballing one and it's rightly backfired

    I have to say I enjoy things like this as they make SAFC look better all the time.

    Ashley Cole and John O'Shea will no doubt join Rooney in the first class carriage of the gravy train.

    Which means the Birmingham players Rooney just blamed, for the latest defeat, will have to sit and listen to this month's manager.

    I don't like Birmingham, and their nasty supporters, but the EFL need to start governing the game better imo.

    " Rooney won just two and lost nine of his 15 games since arriving in October, with the club slipping from fifth to 20th.

    Fans are furious with the manager, as well as the club’s board for their decision to hire him and sack the well-liked John Eustace.

    Throughout the game, the away end called for Rooney to get the sack, while the home supporters also barraged the 38-year-old with taunts due to his connection to Leeds’ fierce rivals Man United.

    While many of these chants were good-natured, there was one that went too far, with a small section of supporters allegedly signing:
    ‘It wasn’t Saville, it was Wayne Rooney.’"

    The craziest thing is that it's nailed on he'll get another job this season.

    All the Fool's Golden Generation are terrible managers because they didn't learn anything about the game outside their own job on the pitch, and the foreign players did the thinking for them.

    they’ll probably throw money at cooper, got some good younger players there, not an awful side for a manager to walk into

    Rooney's compensation will exceed the transfer fee we paid for Jobe Bellingham ffs :D

    They're selling Jordan James for £4m and will still be down.

    He won't get another job for at least 18 months, just like L J, both have knacked their careers

    I reckon Rooney's only chance is Wrexham struggle in League One next year and sack Parkinson...

    That or Salford City
