You know what - I'd do it just to piss Sir Jim Ratcliffe off big time - fucking loser - football is a business - but not like any other - you can't come in - cut costs, raise prices and expect everything to be rosy. That other bidder, the arab one - bet they are laughing on the other side of their faces after seeing this debacle carrying on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all of us said it at the start of the season, mental appointment and he's left them bottom of the league. Surely after Birmingham and now this that's his managerial career done? Yeah, Plymouth did it in the hope that it would gain shirt sales etc. I don’t think Rooney has that kind of following. They needed someone to steady it, and to build. Instead it looks like all that hard work is going to go down the drain and they’ll get relegated back to League One. You’d be an idiot to employ him as a manager now.

He couldn’t provide period of funds, so it’s not going to happen. I said it all along, that he wasn’t as rich as he made out to be, and if he did takeover you, then it would be on tick. Until Kuwait, or Bahrain come in for their piece of football, you aren’t getting an Arab takeover, not one that isn’t just a hedge fund consortium in anyway.

I think since PIF took us over, it has made the countries left think twice. They can’t now just spend as much as they want like Man City, and PSG have. You, Liverpool, and Chelsea have been on the market since our takeover, and all you got was that guy who couldn’t provide proof of funds, and who it took the media a while to figure out if he really existed.

We're not really on the market. We never were. The Glazers don't want to sell. If I was a billionaire and had the option of buying Newcastle for £305m or Man United for £6b, I know what I'd do.

You answered the question in your own post as the reason he gets jobs in football management is the same reason you won't get them, because he used to be an okay+ player once upon a time and club owners still haven't realized that having played the game doesn't automatically translate to knowing how to be a manager in the game.
