Rooney the manager is a fascinating case study, the best English player of his generation choosing jobs either amid crises or where he is not universally wanted. Dig a little deeper and it makes perfect sense.
Rooney’s managerial career paints him as a glutton for punishment Beckham is the smooth touchstone of every culture in which he has existed, one of those rare celebrities who acts as a snapshot in time.. Ex-footballers earned wages that set them up for life – Beckham became an income generation machine, making money because he made money. Sport became intertwined with geopolitics –
This is certainly not a campaign for Rooney to have been over-promoted, parachuted into a job that he hadn’t earned, but it is true that in few other countriesbe slogging themselves in jobs like these. Rooney hardly needs the money. This must be hard work: the catcalls, the financial uncertainty of clubs, the “we don’t want you here” from St Andrew’s if it begins to go wrong.
That can, must, create an inherent guilt, a determination to chase that early buzz and prove that you still deserve relevance and recognition, not from outsiders but from your own conscience. Rooney puts himself in difficult positions because that is the only way he knows how to make it all feel like 2002 and 2004 again.
