Wayne Rooney taking the DC United job has discombobulated old-schoolers who think he should walk into Sheffield United or some other big job…
What’s more ‘unfathomable’? Wayne Rooney at DC United or Manchester United?column. Admittedly, it is a slightly odd decision but we’re not sure it’s so odd that various other managers – some of whom are doing rather well – should just stand aside.
Mediawatch suspects that Collymore knows very little about DC. To be fair, neither does Mediawatch, but we’re not about to. What we do know is that there will be £1m a year at DC, which sounds like rather more than ‘nothing’ and likely more than he would earn in the Championship. No obvious path apart from the one trodden by Vieira and Jesse Marsch which saw them manage in the MLS, then a European top-flight club and then the Premier League?
‘Burnley is a good example – and Rooney will have fancied it – because if Vincent Kompany does well there then people will take notice.’ “How seriously can we take the MLS…for somebody of his pedigree?” asked White, perhaps forgetting that Rooney’s managerial ‘pedigree’ actually consists of 18 months in the Championship that ultimately ended in relegation., Craig Hope goes further and describes Rooney’s decision to take over MLS club DC United as ‘unfathomable’.
