I am desperate for it to work and for him to do well, but to expect him to turn it around is blind faith and optimism currently, because there isn't a single metric that suggests it's suddenly all going to click together.
Roll on Friday
He's right though, this constant manager merry go round doesn't work (certainly hasn't for us). We do need stability, doesn't mean that's going to mean stick with WR no matter what, but we need to stop having a new manger every season.
Bit late now ... if we wanted management stability we should have stuck with JE - or am i missing your point ?
No mate not at all
Fergie was the first one took him yrs
Pep nothing in league first season
Klopp the same came 8 th I think
Just saying Rooney needs time
Had loads out injured
But if they can t play his way then they have to go simple
Sick of everyone moaning about Rooney
Needs at least 1-2 windows
We were promised a "winning mentality" .... you seem to have signed up for an "excuse mentality" ... next you'll be telling us that our standard of play has dropped off a cliff because Saturn and Mars aren't currently aligned properly or summat.
Absolutely mad
I am unhappy with Rooney because his appointment was unnecessary and I'll timed. He has single handed destroyed the morale of the team with terrible man management, public lambasting is a big no, no. The football is turgid, results woeful and our top scorer nowhere to be seen. Yes he needs time and his own players but any manager worth his salt gets the best out of the existing squad a la GR, GM and JE.
TamtexasblueWow Rooney has had 8 games half the time he’s had loads out injured
We were always going to struggle without buying a striker or 2
We need 2 central midfielders
Give the guy a chance takes time to completely change the style of play
Eustace was SHIT proper ffs
The football under him was terrible
You need to all relax and stop saying we was 6 th embarrassment of the highest order we was 2 points off 15 at time of sacking ffs
We hadn’t won for 6 games under eustace then beat shit Huddersfield team and some how beat baggies they played us off the park
This site has descended into a joke bedsheets of the highest order
Cook has chose his man get on with it if they read this site they must be shaking there heads in disbelief
Saved us from the shit we’ve all gone through last decade
The club is on the rise and will prosper with it without Rooney at the helm
Fecking 8 games in and bitching like mad half the bastard time this website does predictions on a Friday and 50 % of you ohhhhhhhhhhh have a bad feeling about this one we will lose tomorrow ffs
Back the manager and Back the board in there decision
Window coming up things will change if they can’t play the way he wants he’ll get money to change squad simple
No such thing as instant success deceive took yrs
Pep shit first yr
Klopp shit first yr
Get real people have to walk before we can run
Kro
Good rant, and I agree with most of it, but I thought that the standard of football this season under John Eust.ace was improving, and enjoyable at times - you could also observe that we didn't have a decent striker then either. I think it's fair to mention the league position at the time, albeit only 11 games had been played, because I'm damn sure if we'd have been at the bottom of the table, that wouldn't have been offered as a defence. We were doing OK. WBA didn't play us off the park IMO - I thought we deserved the win. I think it's fair to say that the quality of football hasn't improved since Rooney's arrival, in the main. We shouldn't rewrite history and claim that we were going to walk the league, but equally I think that it's unfair to say that we weren't doing OK and that the football was 'shit'.
I do agree that moaning about it wont help, and we do need to back the manager and the side - and the owners of course. Will Rooney succeed at Blues? I don't know - if I had to put money on it, I'd probably say 'no', but luckily I haven't got any money. Let's hope that he proves all the doubters wrong and makes a complete success of it. In the meantime, every Blues fan SHOULD back him at the ground.
Good post that Tam, that’s about where I’m at too.

No you're not. We've needed stability for a lot longer than we had JE and it has to start somewhere. It's never too late to dump the revolving door.
BluSabreVery interested to see who gets the full time gig there.
You can get 16/1 for Kevin Phillips, interestingly.
Window opens in 4 weeks he will get some players in
Then I think we will see what he can do
Fans just need to back him and the team
Against Blackburn football wise we played some great stuff
Obviously we can’t concede like that
I’d expect keeper centre half centre mid and a striker to come through the door
Hall roberts laird keshi all back raring to go could be massive for us not even seen roberts joke really
Some saying Steven Schumacher could be going there.
Think that’s an ace replacement tbf, wanted him at blues, plays some real nice stuff considering Plymouth’s budget.
Still the best team I’ve seen at St Andrews this season
Iain_GavinStill the best team I’ve seen at St Andrews this season
Yeah? Interesting mate, I live in Torquay and I went to see them a few times last year, they are a good team to watch.
Punching way above there weight in this division financially.
🤣🤣🤣we was promised a winning mentality
And you think we should be top of the league now then
This will come with time and patience to get there
Such a shame we will miss out on these great managers out of work whilst we are stuck with a dimwit.

Why dump the revolving door with such a shit manager though??
