Five minutes of discussion about Wayne Rooney playing in the wrong area of the pitch and getting in everyone's way. A reassuring constant in an uncertain world.

Can someone explain to me how club managers all think rooney as CM is ok when literally the whole world knows better? I'm not talking a situation where something is a risk or a trial either, plenty of managers have tried it and we've all seen it be dumb each time. And yet?

Everything Allardyce said post-match suggested Rooney will be retained regardless of form. It had begun with a television interview in the bowels of the stadium. “Wayne played wherever he wanted,” said the manager. “He was brilliant and controlled midfield. I can’t stop Wayne playing there.”
That demanded further clarity upstairs. “This is the most decorated outfield player in England. He’s won everything at Manchester United, at Champions League and domestic level. I think he holds a lot more experience at international football than I do as an international manager. So, when he is using his experience and playing as a team member, it’s not for me to say where he’s going to play.
Wayne Rooney strives for impact but Adam Lallana looks like England’s creator Read more“It’s up to me to ask whether he’s doing well in that position, of course, and contributing. If so, great. We’d like to get him into goalscoring positions more. He’s been a goalscorer all his life and I want him to do that again, but he reads a game as he reads it. He read it very well, we won and dominated. I must admit, he did play a little deeper than I thought he’d play. But I was pleased with his performance.” As a glimpse of what awaits, that was intriguing. Allardyce had bemoaned the slow nature of England’s build-up play, and yet Rooney’s passing can actually be identified as slowing this team down.

yeah it is kind of disconcerting. the whole thing is taking on an odd feeling, like rooney is some idiot king in the land of the blind, outwitting smarter men with impermeable stupidity.

There's a conspiracy theory among a certain section of the Utd fan base that Rooney's contract actually guarantees him a starting place. I used to think it was a bit silly, but I've now realised it goes deeper than even they suspected

During the meeting he remarked that Sir Alex Ferguson gets “four hundred, five hundred grand a pop” for speaking engagements, while Robbie Williams got “£1.6 million for a wedding. Just singing”.
The England manager insisted he would deliver “value for money” in helping to attract investors, boasting of his popularity in the Orient.
“It’s not only the England manager,” he said, “it’s the beauty of being a Premier League manager all them years like me… I have more pictures taken over there than I have here.”
“Keynote speaking, that’s what I’d be doing, keynote speaking. I’m a keynote speaker.
“Just know, it’s just delivering, for you, it’s just delivering value for money… they’ve got to enjoy the time they’ve had, enjoy the conversation. Not just the keynote speech but also in the bar after.
“I don’t come in like a lot of them, come in, right bang, you’re off. Do you know what I mean? That’s the end of that, done that, I’m off. I’m going to stand at the bar, have a few social drinks.”

“Players let him down in the end. I think maybe he, he was too indecisive. Cast a bit of an anxiety over to the players maybe. I mean prior to the Iceland game, he won all 10 qualifiers. We'd drawn with Russia, we should have won. We beat Wales, and that was our worst performance. We drew with Slovakia, and we only had to draw with Iceland to get through ... he just collapsed.”
