Rooney was an incredibly clever footballer as was Bobby Charlton - neither were good managers - Harry Rednapp was a successful manager

Rooney was an instinctively clever player, so he didn't really understand consciously why. Hence why he's so shit at teaching it to others - he can't get into the same headspace as someone who doesn't do stuff automatically.

And you've missed out the most important bit of information - whether Kenny Jackett was a clever footballer.

Rooney did ok when he was surrounded by better coaches than he is, he had Rosenior at Derby.

I wonder what Deeney would have said if somebody had treated him like he treated Dabo.

Don't want to be harsh but how does anyone hear Troy Deeney speak and think he is manager material?

Same goes for Wayne Rooney. Neither were clever players. both played best when worked up, on the edge and playing on instinct. Excellent at what they were good at but that is just not what is required for leading a team.

Rooney wasn't a clever player??!! Haha

Not sure i understand that. Surely instinctive natural talent is a major component of intelligence?
