Last time I was bothered to look Rooney was worth an estimated (wait for it)...£170 million......Even half that and I'd be content....Not sure if I shall shed any tears, not when you think Birmingham will contribute another £m to his fortune. Not bad for a kid from a Liverpool council estate who lets be fair isn't the sharpest tool in the box. Good luck to him....Btw...Great player on his day.
Yes,he was a decent player but his efforts at transferring that into management have failed miserably. It happens frequently and in Rooneys case,his C.V is tainted now and I'd be extremely surprised if he gets another chance anywhere near Championship level.
Well, a lot speak 3, 4 or 5 languages. How many do you speak? Frank Lampard is well educated. Dowie has a degree in aeronautical engineering.
Lampard, Gerrard, Rooney et al got some pretty big gigs based on their playing reputation alone. Like any young manager, and quite topically given its criticism directed at our own gaffer, they need to spend some time as understudies, learning the job before they're thrown in at the deep end.
I agree,but Rooney obviously knew what he was getting into (as did Birmingham giving him the appointment).The danger is that when you take one of these jobs on and flop spectacularly,it's difficult to find another opening? I think most of us ,at the time of his appointment,questioned it?...It defied logic as they were doing reasonably well at the time.Under Rooney it nosedived spectacularly. Won 2,Drew 4,Lost 9 is a pretty abysmal attempt at taking them forward and improving them? Rosenior frustrates me at times but I firmly believe ,and the indicators point to, him being here for some time.He seems to have forged a reasonable relationship with the owner and that owner trusts him and backs him at every opportunity.
Aeronautical engineering,Dowie? Obviously designed the MCAS software system in the ill fated 737 Max...Silly Focker
I reckon Rooney will give up on management now and go back to his ambition of becoming a lawyer. He isn't the best speaker but I'm not convinced he's as daft as people think. https://www.skysports.com/watch/vid...-interest-in-becoming-a-lawyer-after-football
Brian Hall former Liverpool midfielder ....Nickname....Little Bamba...has he had a degree, when very few footballers had in those days.
Good shout..I was only thinking Steve Heighway.... I once met Paul Power, former Everton and Man City player, at an event at the National Coaching Foundation in Leeds. He was doing a coaching award. Decent bloke....
I frequently engage with Paddy Power...He's a clever bastard in lightening my wallet on a weekly basis!!
Tony Galvin, degree in Russian Studies from University of Hull. Spurs also signed him from Goole Town, now there's a steep step up!
I can see this being made into a film, along the lines of Elle Woods experience. Legally Bald perhaps?
