I have seen more personality in room of dead peopleGranny boy!
Q:In a suit you say.
Was he in court for something???
Stereotypical bullpoo humour. Yawn.Q:
What do you call a scouser in a suit?
A:
The accused
Tell us your best jokeStereotypical bullpoo humour. Yawn.
My initial thoughts are he’s not bright enough, I hope he proves me wrong.Out of interest - Why would he not make a good manager? He's played under the greatest manager of all time for 10 years, as well as the likes of Mourinho and Van Gaal.
What, because he doesn't talk like or portray himself as a public school alumni, he's bound to be a disaster?

Nothing to do with accents, class or anything else, but I do think all good managers have one thing in common - intellect.
Name me a manager in the PL( or any other division) who 'portrays himself as a public school alumnus'. That's not to say there aren't odd ones who are privately educated. Frank Lampard for one. But he just sounds and behaves like your average ****ney geezer.Out of interest - Why would he not make a good manager?

My point was that public school Frank Lampard sounds more like his old man, a classic east ender, than he does a public school steteotype. I can't think of one that fits your bill of talking posh. But I agree that coaches should be good at their jobs rather than good media talkers. I am not sure what evidence there is yet that Rooney is a good coach. Gerard has definitely already passed that test at Rangers, I think he'd be miles better than Southgate in the England job.
Add to that the tiresome stereotypical comments on this thread. Pathetic.Out of interest - Why would he not make a good manager? He's played under the greatest manager of all time for 10 years, as well as the likes of Mourinho and Van Gaal.

This is probably the most relevant pointRooney hasn’t made the slightest difference to Derby on the pitch, in fact they are worse imo.
What difference will he make as temporary head coach/manager?
Indeed.This is probably the most relevant point
Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton were great players but could hack it as a Manager. More recently Alan Shearer is in the same mould.Out of interest - Why would he not make a good manager? He's played under the greatest manager of all time for 10 years, as well as the likes of Mourinho and Van Gaal.

I think most are doubting Rooney because of his character.You've just named one.
It's more this notion that talking in a slow, sensible way somehow portrays a sense of knowledge. Gary Monk, a prime example.
The only reason people are doubting Wayne Rooney is because of his demeanor, which is ridiculous. Give the bloke a chance.
Car or mobility scooter? How old was this Woman?Rooney in a suit arriving at Stockport Magistrates' Court.
I don’t think people’s perception of Rooney being of low intelligence is based purely on stereotypes. He pleaded guilty to drink driving at 2am. This was in some woman’s car that he met in a bar whilst his wife at home pregnant.
