I hope it works out for Rooney. No idea really if he actually is a good coach/manager or not, but I respect the fact that he's really trying to make a go of it & the way he's trying to go about doing so. It's obvious he really still loves football, which is quite nice to see too. Rooney (perhaps surprisingly) sounds reasonably intelligent and occasionally funny. Perhaps there is a manager in there.

Yeah he's been a largely decent pundit on the occasions I've seen him.

Bit naive going on the radio the next day slagging the players off. That won’t end well!

That won’t end well! I thought this too. Not a lot of wriggle room by saying they’ll never play again if they play like that again. We’d have a team of youngsters and Message Board members left if any of last year’s coaches came out with that statement.

Rooney headline on the BBC website is Rooney warning the players they'll not play again if they play that badly.
Friend who's a Preston fan that usually backs the manager has been calling for his head since before Christmas. It's been dreadful apparently.

That won’t end well! Was not aware of this. The basis of my whole post was his Micah Richards Chinese restaurant anecdote.

Preston's interim manager has said he doesn't want to apply for the permanent job and so... has left the club. Presumably that means they're on the verge of appointing someone but it's a really weird way of handling it all for that to happen/that statement to be put out prior to hiring.

2 sackings within the first 3 games of the season is absolutely crazy.

At rival clubs too. Makes you think.
