Wayne Rooney the manager canโ€™t escape his man-cave or his luminous teenage past | Barney Ronay His managerial ability remains unproven, but the old-school energy that Rooney represents ensures he is still fondly regarded

Erm, Rooney was never 'warmly' regarded at Birmingham. We knew him for what he was - a celebrity show pony and useless manager. We were well rid of him, but not before his incompetence got us relegated.

Keir Starmer vows to rebuild Britain as Labour did after second world war PM says in his new year message that 2025 will be a year of rebuilding, comparing the task to that Attlee faced in 1945

Yes, yes, very lawdable, but unattainable until you reject Thatcherism, realise the economy is a 'means' and not an 'end', and show vision and courage in making the necessary changes. No evidence so far he has the cajones for this!

Wayne Rooney: Where did it go wrong at Plymouth Argyle for former Manchester United and England striker? As Wayne Rooney leaves his latest managerial role with Plymouth, BBC Sport looks at where it went wrong for the legendary striker.

He's a f**king awful manager. He got B'ham City relegated last season. His record with Plymouth is similar. Total waste of space!

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Seriously, there were no modern humans in Britain >45,000 years ago. We didn't sprout out of the ground. Our ancestors walked here. Everyone is an immigrant. Everyone.
