No. I am just a young manager having a difficult time.&#8217; Keane, increasingly insightful as a pundit these days, describes well the double-edged sword of managing when you have been a top player. It is indeed easier to get a job but are expectations naturally and sub-consciously raised as a result? Very possibly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76762943-0-Roy_Keane_has_described_well_the_double_edged_sword_of_managemen-a-19_1697733541207.jpg\" height=\"444\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Roy Keane has described well the double-edged sword of management after a stellar playing career<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76762941-0-Wayne_Rooney_became_the_new_head_of_Birmingham_City_after_the_Bl-a-25_1697733541220.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wayne Rooney became the new head of Birmingham City after the Blues sacked John Eustace<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76762937-0-Mail_Sport_s_Ian_Ladyman_discusses_Rooney_s_appointment_at_Birmi-a-18_1697733541206.jpg\" height=\"418\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport&#8217;s Ian Ladyman discusses Rooney&#8217;s appointment at Birmingham in his latest column<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Keane&#8217;s old Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney may know this soon and maybe not in a good way.<\/p>\n<p>Rooney begins his third managerial posting in earnest on Saturday when he takes his Birmingham team to Middlesbrough in the Championship. After that come games against Hull, Southampton, Ipswich and Sunderland.<\/p>\n<p>To squeeze Rooney into the job, Birmingham have had to sack a popular manager, John Eustace, who had taken the club in to sixth place in the table. The last two games before his departure &#8211; against West Brom and Huddersfield &#8211; were both won handsomely.<\/p>\n<p>So Birmingham chief executive Garry Cook sought to justify the switch of manager by saying: &#8216;The new first team manager will be responsible for creating an identity and &#8216;no fear&#8217; playing style that all Birmingham City teams will adopt and embrace&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>And this is the environment Rooney walks in to immediately, an environment shaped by Cook and Birmingham&#8217;s new American owners. It&#8217;s an environment that &#8211; Cook says &#8211; has been structured for &#8216;world class professionals across every department&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>All that Rooney has to do now is deliver. And that&#8217;s the hard bit. Rooney was a world class player, for sure. As a manager, spells at Derby County and DC United in the United States have pointed to an appetite for adventure, hard work and challenge but have not quite answered the bigger and most important question of whether the 37-year-old has what it takes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably worth mentioning here that Birmingham don&#8217;t have any world class professionals across one of their departments and that is the playing one. Rooney will know this.<\/p>\n<p>After Eustace kept Birmingham in the Championship last season, the club bought a few and sold a few in the summer and ended up down by about \u00a3750,000. The last team that Eustace picked &#8211; against West Brom two weeks ago &#8211; had a \u00a32m defender, Dion Sanderson, in it as well as a forward Siriki Dembele, who cost \u00a31.5m. There were a couple of loans in there, too, as well as Jon Ruddy, a 36-year-old goalkeeper who didn&#8217;t cost anything at all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76763123-0-Former_manager_Eustace_had_been_a_popular_figure_at_St_Andrew_s_-a-21_1697733541208.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Former manager Eustace had been a popular figure at St. Andrew&#8217;s having taken them to sixth place<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76762939-0-Garry_Cook_claimed_he_sacked_Eustace_due_to_misalignment_with_th-a-20_1697733541208.jpg\" height=\"411\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Garry Cook claimed he sacked Eustace due to misalignment with the club&#8217;s long-term outlook<\/p>\n<p>This is how it often is in the Championship. It&#8217;s a make do and mend division for all but the fortunate few who are still spending Premier League parachute payments and the reckless few still throwing money around they haven&#8217;t really got.<\/p>\n<p>For Rooney and Birmingham &#8211; however Cook and the owners wish to dress it up &#8211; this is the reality. World class the Championship is not. Cook says he sacked Eustace because of a &#8216;misalignment&#8217; with the club in terms of outlook. He also suggested the outgoing manager didn&#8217;t quite match Birmingham&#8217;s ambition. From the outside looking in, it feels like Eustace was the one who had the perspective just about right.<\/p>\n<p>Birmingham&#8217;s owners trumpeted NFL great Tom Brady as a minority investor earlier this year. A great deal of fuss was made and Rooney, on his arrival, has played along with all that. But can Brady get Birmingham into the Premier League? No, Wayne, that will be down to you.<\/p>\n<p>So this is how it lies now with Rooney. He has shown an admirable commitment to his new trade so far. He is impressive in many ways, pragmatic and realistic. Derby was a club in dire financial trouble while America was a challenge culturally as well as professionally. Not a great deal was expected.<\/p>\n<p>But those asterisks and those safety nets to reputational damage don&#8217;t exist at Birmingham. This is a straight up and down challenge for Rooney. Move Birmingham forward and his management career is properly up and running. Travel backwards and it may well be over before he hits his 40th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>As Keane outlined, a career on the field will get you a foot in the door when it comes to managing. But it&#8217;s absolutely no help at all when you walk through it and sit down.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/19\/17\/76764201-0-image-m-31_1697734595048.jpg\" height=\"557\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>As Keane outlined, a stellar career gets your foot in the door but is no help at all when it comes to actually managing<\/p>\n<h2>Erik ten Hag&#8217;s brave viewpoint\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is said to welcome any overhaul of the Old Trafford recruitment department that may be carried out by prospective new investor Jim Ratcliffe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The insinuation is that Ten Hag believes he has not been handed good enough players during his time at the club.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a brave viewpoint given that Ten Hag&#8217;s fingerprints are all over so many of the deals done since he joined in the summer of 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Antony, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, Andre Onana.
