Wayne Rooney's Plymouth Argyle

Valley11

Ian Holloway always used to talk about the difficulty in attracting players to Devon. So far from anywhere and bigger names just aren’t interested. Perhaps the board thought the ‘lure’ of Rooney would help get signings over the line. They should’ve focused on his record as a manager.

This is a good shout for a potential future one, definitely makes the bracket of top player with nearly 500 appearances for United. Had a good start to his managerial career, sadly quite a few seem to struggle to make the step up to top manager after a bright start (See Lampard, Gerrard etc).

I'd expect Carrick's name to be mentioned with PL jobs fairly soon if Middlesbrough start well.

Was Wane Ronny in charge of the spelling of Forshaw and Cissoko on the back of the kits?

I think he was in charge of picking out the shade of green too, that's far too light to be Plymouth surely?

Top British players in the 70s and 80s seemed to graduate to management better. Keegan, Dalglish, Souness, Toshack, Hoddle, Bryan Robson, Peter Reid etc all had much better managerial careers than their successors.

Beat Luton 3-1 last night. Doing better than I expected so far.
