Dark horse who showed his potential doing a difficult job with Derby, or big Scouse circus with no brains?

Digging out his players in public after games is a bold move. Not sure that’s ever a good sign. Thought he did well at Derby, but going to MLS always seemed like a waste of time. Wonder if he’ll be there long enough to see Brum finally finish their ugly stands. |  |

Tactically seems to outdo us first half. Then didn't have a clue second half. Our SUVs were more strategic and better than theirs |  | | |

I think he had a difficult job at Derby but I just don't see him as having what it takes to be a successful manager.
I would rank his chances as better than Keane's or Lampard's (and I recognise Keane did have success while working with Sbragia) but I think it would take a very good number two for him to succeed. |  |

A man with the skillset to be a very good footballer.
Football management requires a different set of skills, some overlapping with those of footballer, but others quite separate. I suspect that he does not possess all of the skills required to be a good manager.

I think he's got to be odds against to succeed, really. Think of late, we've seen a fair few elite players have good-ish stints, but often built on a mixture of good backroom staff and borrowing players too good for the level.
In practice I think it's very hard to build up enough knowledge to be an elite manager these days if your playing career goes deep into your 30s and you go straight into the main hotseat. |  |

A lot of talk of their players downing tools after the previous popular manager was replaced, so I don’t think all is well with that dressing room. I expect Rooney will clear a few out if he’s there that long. |  | | |

Thanks all. In conclusion, most likely a big scouse circus. Potentially has it in him to prove us wrong, but it’s getting harder and harder to see it happening. | |

His fame and skills as a footballer might have got him the job but in the management game, it’s not necessarily helpful. He may make a manager, he may not. He’s not shown anything yet. He’s bound to have much to learn management and coaching wise.
I’ve nothing against the bloke. Don’t know him, don’t wish to. Don’t like Birmingham City much but really don’t care. Their choice, they’re jeopardy. |  | | |

Well they were 6th when they sacked Eustace and are 22nd in the form table since Rooney joined. Make of that what you will. |  |
