An excellent piece, lots of food for thought. Lots we yet don't know, too. An interesting summer ahead!

Great piece James. Like most my first reaction was negative but having thought about it and looked at the potential positives, I’ve now done a complete 180. I’m hopeful his appointment will bring in new talent plus new investment and may also mean we hold onto Morgan, Coops and Gibbo. We should get behind him and give him at least until Christmas. Can’t wait for August! Simon

Madness that Rooney has never signed a player in three stints as manager. We’ll give him the best chance to succeed and if he does, we will reap the benefits!

Thanks for writing this. Very insightful and balanced. Although his record to date as a manger is far from great, he certainly can’t be accused of playing on easy mode!
