Birmingham City’s board weigh up a decision on Wayne Rooney’s future:

•  Wayne Rooney’s main priority in their latest game was to keep a clean sheet.
•  Birmingham City managed to do that successfully against Bristol City.
•  But fans were angry at their latest result amid a very poor run under Rooney, who hasn’t been a success at St Andrew’s thus far.

Birmingham City boss Wayne Rooney has revealed his main priority was to keep a clean sheet against Bristol City last night, following fan anger after their 0-0 draw against the Robins.

Blues have struggled under Wayne Rooney, winning just two of their 14 games under his guidance which is an extremely poor record considering the Midlands side were in sixth at the time of John Eustace’s departure.

Eustace ended his reign by registering back-to-back wins against Huddersfield Town and West Bromwich Albion, leaving supporters in a buoyant mood going into the October international break.

But the controversial managerial change meant this feeling didn’t last for much longer, with scepticism about Rooney’s appointment growing following some poor results.

He faced a very tough start to life at St Andrew’s considering he took on some strong teams during the early stages of his reign, but even recent results haven’t been that great.

An away win at Cardiff City could have been the catalyst for a better run of form, but Blues are still struggling at this point and there’s even speculation about the Manchester United legend’s future now.

With his abysmal win rate and supporters getting more and more agitated, with their anger being displayed once again last night, Rooney could be in big trouble in the coming weeks unless he can turn things around.

There are no excuses for him considering Blues brought in some top-quality additions during the summer window.

Birmingham City’s board may have to weigh up a decision on Wayne Rooney’s future

Although the board often makes the final decision on a manager’s future, the fans often have a big say.

Once the atmosphere turns toxic, there’s often no turning back and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the curtain fall on Rooney’s reign in the next week or two.

Quite frankly, it isn’t working out for him so far and even though he hasn’t had a transfer window yet, he needs to show that he can get the best out of the current set of players he has.

He isn’t doing that at the moment and their form since Rooney took over has been dreadful.

This situation can only go on for so much longer – Blues’ form needs to improve and the 38-year-old knows that.
