Root and Stokes grind down weary India to stretch lead beyond 100
What went wrong for Rooney?

Wayne Rooney, November 4, 2023
AND SO, yet another of England’s much feted but, at international level at least, not notably successful Golden Generation™ has collected his P45 after a short-lived and less than glittering stint as manager.
After just 82 days and two wins in 15 games, Wayne Rooney joins Frank Lampard, Gary and Phil Neville, Sol Campbell and Paul Scholes on the managerial scrap heap at the tender age of 38.
It’s quite possible that Steven Gerrard will join them soon, given his Al-Ettifaq team are currently on a run of nine games without a win.
