The Rooney Effect

[Deridene]

I believe Saturday is the 1st game that Wayne Rooney is involved in. Will he have an impact ??

[Fordy]

Their players will be wanting to impress I imagine, so yes i think it will. Hopefully they flop under pressure

[Jeffqpr]

He’s not playing

[Fordy]

He’s not playing

I think he’s part of their coaching team for the game

Get a few old birds in amongst our support to distract him

Get a few old Granny's in that's more his type .... 300k a week and he gets done for drink driving absolute tool. You'd have a chauffer on call

Correct

[FurtiveFox]

I get he used to be a top player and still has a profile but coaching? Every time he speaks he comes across as monumentally stupid. I've come across village idiots with better communication skills.

It is a major coup them getting him - a sign of a progressive and ambitious club. I'm glad he will not be on pitch and I suspect his involvement will be deliberately low-key and designed not to undermine the manager tomorrow so it shouldn't have any material outcome to their performance (or ours).
