Wayne Rooney has been sacked as manager of Birmingham City, following a dismal 15-match spell, the club has announced. Rooney took charge of the club in October, but his reign has been marred by poor results, with Birmingham winning just two of their 15 games under his management. This run of form has seen them slip to 20th in the Championship, just six points clear of the relegation zone. In a statement, Birmingham’s CEO Garry Cook acknowledged that Rooney’s appointment “did not go as planned,” leading to the decision to part ways with the former Manchester United striker. Wayne Rooney – Getty image Rooney expressed his gratitude for the opportunity but noted that the results during his tenure did not meet his expectations. He also hinted at the need for more time to implement the changes he believed were necessary for the team’s success.

Rooney’s departure comes as a surprise after he was handed a three-year deal upon his appointment, with the club’s co-owner and chairman expressing confidence in his ability to lead Birmingham to victories.

He asked, d us to come along with plenty cash because he planned to borrow it and transfer it back to us since he doesn’t have an ATM card. I took N57k from my thrift business, while my friend took N70k. At the hotel restaurant, he ordered plenty of food for us. While eating, he said he needed to go to the room and asked us to bring our belongings so he could drop them for us. Without hesitation, we gave him everything except our phones. He left and came back saying he needed my friend’s iPhone 13 PM to make a call, which she gave to him. He took too long and we became worried. I realized my iPhone 12 Pro Max had disappeared too when I tried to call her phone. We quickly told the hotel manager, and he said the guy hadn’t booked any room and that he hadn’t paid for anything we ate, which totaled N105k. Ahhhh!! They detained us because we couldn’t pay. I called my dad, and he said I should enjoy my Christmas and New Year in jail since I don’t know how to stay at home. My friend’s brother came to our rescue after 3 days. That boy that scammed us will never go abroad. Amen!”
