I think they saw the writing on the wall with this one, an expensive mistake!!!
They obviously learned nowt from the Zola "experiment".
Makes you wonder how good Rooney was with us. He couldn't lose really. Had he been better maybe we would have stayed up after all.
Indeed. Managerial career record is 153 games and a win ratio of about 26%. Half that for Brum (!) and just over that for us...also makes you wonder who our ‘nearly great escape’ was really down to given what’s happened since.Quote:

Didn't we get within 4 pts of safety by end January? Should have done better after that but fell away.
There is a view that Rosenior did most of the coaching. He seems gutted, shouldn't think the money is that big a deal for him, his reputation as a manager much more of a hit. It does take some doing to take a team from 6th to near the bottom of a league, reports say players couldn't understand what he wanted or indeed perhaps what he was saying?Quote:

Many good coaches out there who deserve the jobs that the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerard ahve had handed to them on a plate, purely due to their history as players.
