That picture was doing the rounds in summer. He was in Oxford with the team. Someone got a load of gullible people on social media all excited with it.
Plymouth Argyle can confirm that the club and Head Coach Wayne Rooney have mutually agreed to part ways with immediate effect. Departing the club with Rooney will be Assistant Head Coach Mike Phelan and first team coach Simon Ireland. First team coach Kevin Nancekivell and Club Captain Joe Edwards will lead the team for our Sky Bet Championship match against Bristol City on New Year’s Day. Daryl Flahavan will continue as Goalkeeping coach. We would like to thank Wayne and his team for all their efforts and wish them well for the future. The club will be making no further comment at this stage with updates on our new first team management staff in due course. The departing Rooney said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Plymouth Argyle Football Club, in particular Simon Hallett and Neil Dewsnip who I shared great relationships with. “Thanks also to all the staff who made me feel welcome and who make the club such a special place, the players and fans for their efforts and support during my time as Head Coach and I wish them all the best for the future. “To the Green Army thanks for making the games at Home Park so special, they are memories that we will share forever. “I would also like to give a special mention to my coaching staff Kevin Nancekivell, Simon Ireland, Darryl Flahavan and Mike Phelan for their knowledge, dedication, help and support. “Plymouth Argyle will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to look out for and take interest in their results.”
That's bad news for us tbh, the longer he stayed in charge the less likely it was they'd recover, great player, crap coach.
I can't see him getting another opportunity anywhere.Needs to concentrate on his own personal wellbeing and more importantly his Family.
Of all those players Alex Ferguson mentored it's still Steve Bruce who made the best manager, happy birthday Steve Bruce.
How many great players make great managers? Answers on the back of a 2nd class stamp.. TBH...I can only think of Dalglish and that's stretching it. PS..I think that will be it for Wozzer....He'll now do the pundit round...
Oh dear...How many of them were in the Rooney class...? I'll give the Kaiser and Zidane has truly great players.....Jury is out on the rest... Zidane managed a Madrid side who was full of good players. I could have coached them!!!
Again...!!! Cruyff great player. Coached a Barca side full of world class larkers...I could have coached them. "See you tomorrow. Same XI then....Bye".
Also according to some on here Rooneys on his deathbed with liverfailure So now Only team in the bottom 7 not to sack their manager is luton I still think we finish above Oxford, plymouth Just one more needed
