    That says rather a lot about Plymouths chairman.

    Any club owner who appoints a manager, primarily on the basis that it will get them more media coverage, probably shouldn’t be a club owner.

    A manager should only ever be appointed based on his ability to successfully manage.

    If you want to increase a club’s profile in the media with someone you bring in, it should be a player, not a manager.

    I agree, but some clubs/owners want the fanfare rather than fan appreciation.

    Oh well
    At least if you’re a Plymouth fan you can get over Rooney leaving and look forward to the New Year
    That’s right…just turn over your PAFC calendar tomorrow morning and it’ll be a fresh start…

    What an unknowledgeable twot Merson is? cannot even get his codes right. Everyone knows Henry was a brilliant basketballer....watched him once singlehandedly destroy RoI in a game of hoops.

    I love to hate Rooney, but sometimes it's difficult.

    He’s sort of your likeable rogue. Fantastic player in his prime, now looking for a calling, not sure management is it… he’s loaded as well so respect for forgoing the pay off.

    If he wants to stay involved then It should either be a step back into coaching at top level, management at a much lower level or buying into a sleeping club in non league with potential a bit like Savage has done

    He's got the cash. Vardy's missus has pretty much paid for it already.

    He could easily go into punditry, but part of me wants him to be better than that.

    It's weird really.

    I don't know why.

    Probably the 'shags who he wants' chant to be fair.

    And he looks a bit like Shrek.
