100%cornish Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 When Plymouth appoint there new manager i would like Neil Warnock is given the job on a 1 year contract to see how he does and if he does well extend his contract longer . Hope Plymouth stay up i think they will i have supported them for 63 years since my dad took me to watch my 1st match and it was in the Combination League Plymouth Vs Spurs and my dads hero Jimmy Greaves was playin his 1st game since returning from playing in Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Darren Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 So you’ve said before! But where is the future planning in having Warnock? It would be the worst decision the club could make. Marcus Grose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserves all the backing Argyle supporters can give him to at least give him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%cornish Posted May 25 Author Report Share Posted May 25 It seems you got to be a Scouser to be a Plymouth manager thats 3 in a row so Pep would of been wasting his time going for the job because he isnt a Scouser .Do wish Rooney well at least he should have some good contacts . Dissapointed that Joe Edwards is leaving the club and going to Bristol Rovers he should be 1st name on team sheet every week kept Plymouth up and everything should be done to keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Thomas Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Sorry to be a pessimist..not convinced, at signing Rooney as a manager. His track record as a manager In the championship is indifferent, to say the least. With Plymouth's budget, a lot lower than most, its going to be a challenge. Need someone with more prudency. Of course, unless Wayne , is going to dig into his own pockets! On a positive note, Rooney will enjoy the nights out in Plymouth, they can be lively!

Has got a similar sort of feeling to when Peter Shilton was appointed at Argyle. Very high profile, raised the profile of the club and attracted decent players to Plymouth, captured the imagination of the public. Things went very well for him in his first full season when he had a strong backroom staff and support of the board. All unravelled pretty quickly when John McGovern left though (a book on Shilton's time at Argyle, The Nearly Men, is a great read). If Wayne Rooney has a decent assistant and staff, then who knows. It certainly is a very brave appointment, especially after how it went for him at Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmooreshead Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 It seems that every time I watch a match on telly, Rooneys there as a co commentator / pundit Is it me or is he leaving himself wide open to accusations that he's not focussing on what he should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenman Posted June 8 Report Share Posted June 8 You have to realise that todays footballers are struggling financialy and need to find extra income .

Think the problem is that a lot of them spend it as fast, if not faster, than they earn it. Having an extravagant lifestyle isn't a problem when the money is coming in, but becomes one when it's not. Read a report a few years back which stated that 60% of Premier League footballers go bankrupt within 10 years of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another post on this forum, we recorded the published fact that top profesional players wages have increased by 3600% not too bad I can confirm. How todays players can go bankrupt within 10 years of retirement is beyond comprehension, unless of course they live beyond their means in which case it's difficult to have much sympathy.

fenman Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Off the subject I know BUT !!!!!!! I watched the interview with Jimmy Anderson after the Test Match yesterday following his last game for England . HE was asked how he would like to be remembered , his answer " as a reasonably good cricketer from Burnley " He was also asked how he felt when he had taken 5 wickets or more in a Test Match , he said that that game was over and he wanted to improve . It's a pity some of the Premiership's young players don't have the same attitude . Several have let money and fame go to their head and their career stagnates .
