Birmingham City suffer third straight defeat leaving Wayne Rooney and owners in trouble

The former head coach of DC United is already under criticism because he hasn’t won for his current team, Birmingham City, and suffered a loss to Southampton on Saturday.

Expectations were low when Wayne Rooney was controversially appointed manager of Birmingham City. The former Manchester United icon’s stints at Derby County and DC United had done little to establish his reputation on the sidelines.

Although Rooney did serve as interim manager and head coach during the team’s administration and subsequent relegation to League One, his 25 victories, 21 draws, and 38 losses did not assist the
