A player who couldn’t wait to leave, was booed constantly on his return, and then when he resigned, he was back to being a hero. If they sack Rafa and appoint Rooney I hope he relegates them. They may as well give it back to Unsworth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I do hope Rooney doesn’t flop as a manager because we need up and coming good managers from here to do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I’ve always admired Rooney. I don’t think he gets enough love considering just how outstanding of a footballer he really was in his prime. Seems he’s done well with a hopeless situation at Derby, though I’m skeptical he’d be able to get anything more out of that Everton side than Rafa.

He was a great player it can’t be denied, not Ronaldo/Messi levels as consistent as they were but he was right up there on his game. I think he forfeited a lot of his game/flair by working his socks off constantly and not being more selfish, that and Fergie sacrificed him at times for the greater of the team by playing him here and there or getting him to track back all the time. But he still did that side of the game as good as any so… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I wonder how long Bielsa will remain wedded to Leeds? He's playing a style of football which is beyond some of his players. I totally get why he would feel attached to the club, but he's far better than this and is being hamstrung by the owners not spending on genuine quality looking from the outside.

Last season only Chelsea had a bigger net spent than them and this season they were 7th in the net spend league. They are 9th in terms of net spend over the last 5 years which is quite the achievement since most teams have a 3 season head start. I don't know much about Leeds or Bielsa, but he doesn't strike me as a manager that would settle for whatever the owners give him, and they seem, from another perspective looking from the outside, to back him with more or less whatever he asks for. He should be more worried about getting sacked than them being worried he is leaving imo based on how they are performing at the minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Net spend for newly promoted clubs is always misleading. They rarely have sellable assets and they get the huge TV money boost. Newcastle being the exception of course, I bet Brighton, Bournemouth, Leeds, etc will have big ‘net spends’. Villas was huge but then took £100m for Grealish. It only takes Leeds to sell Phillips for £60-80m at some point and it wipes theirs out almost. As for Everton, if they sack Benitez I’d be genuinely interested to see Duncan Ferguson get the gig even if it was just until the summer. They’re not getting into Europe, I can’t see them going down, could be a good time for them to give him 15-18 games to see how he’d cope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like us, most of their players are the same they had in the Championship. Luke Ayling, Forshaw and some fucker called Dallas. How far can you go go with resources like that?
