Rooney initially impressed after stepping aside as a player at Derby in 2020 to coach the team under the most difficult of circumstances, steadying the ship after administration., in what was a stint to forget, taking over with the team in sixth in the Championship and leading them into a relegation battle.
“He’s not Harry Potter, he isn’t going to turn it around instantly, Sheffield Wednesday have got bags of momentum, full of confidence and a full house on the opening day of the season. He added: “The reason why it's spotlighting him is because it's Wayne Rooney. It's stupid. He's 38 years of age.
