Wayne Rooney hit with ‘sacked in the morning’ chants AGAIN as pressure mounts on Plymouth boss following latest defeat

Championship

Stoke

Plymouth

Preston

Oxford

<p>The Manchester United legend was heavily jeered by fans at Kassam Stadium as Plymouth Argyle suffered their 13th defeat of the season and remained rock bottom on the league table at the end of 2024. The home fans were clearly heard chanting 'sacked in the morning' as Rooney looked disgruntled on the touchline.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oxford fans now continue to chant “Sacked in the morning” to Wayne Rooney <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/oufc?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#oufc</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Rooney?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Rooney</a> <a href="https://t.co/PIsASUywYY">pic.twitter.com/PIsASUywYY</a></p>— Dan George (@DanGeorgee) <a href="https://twitter.com/DanGeorgee/status/1873403702163411414?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 29, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Plymouth fans too mocked the 39-year-old head coach on social media as they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wayne-rooney-leave-plymouth-coleen-oxford/bltb92adba3dab5406f" target="_blank">urged him to leave the club</a>. Addressing the fans' anger and the loss to Oxford, Rooney told reporters: "I think you have to look at every possible outcome. I think that's normal with the results we are going through.</p><p>"You have to feel can you turn it around, have you got the players to turn it around, can I turn it around, can the coaches turn it around. That's all stuff we really have to look at."</p><p>He added: "I get it, I understand it. I have been there myself when I was young. I have been there as a fan and you want to see your team win, you want to see your team running, you want to see them tackling. When you are losing games, as we are, that frustration is there. I get it, I don't take it personally. I think for all of us we are trying to do the right things and help us win games. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case over the last few weeks."</p>

WHAT WAYNE ROONEY SAID

<p>Amid Rooney's struggle with the Pilgrims, his wife Coleen, on Sunday, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/coleen-rooney-vip-goodison-park-kai-cass-kit-everton-wayne-plymouth/blt1d3ab4eed33d6339" target="_blank">was spotted at Goodison Park watching Everton play Nottingham Forest</a> in the Premier League. She decided not to travel to Oxford to back her husband and instead chose to stay at Merseyside.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rooney's side will be back in action on the first day of the New Year as they take on Bristol City at home in a Championship clash.</p>
