Wayne Rooney Featured in Plymouth's 2025 Calendar Despite Departure
Plymouth Argyle's 2025 calendar prominently features Wayne Rooney, who was recently dismissed as the club's manager, leading to humorous reactions from fans.
Wayne Rooney was appointed as the manager of Plymouth Argyle in June 2024, with high expectations for the club's performance in the Championship. However, after a series of disappointing results, including a nine-match winless streak that left the team at the bottom of the league table, the club announced Rooney's departure on December 31, 2024.
In an unexpected twist, fans who received the club's official 2025 calendar as a holiday gift noticed that Rooney's image was prominently featured for the month of January. This coincidence sparked a wave of humorous comments on social media. One fan remarked, "They put his big picture for January, and he didn't even last until then!" Another quipped, "Good thing they didn't put his picture for December."
Despite the timing of his departure, both the club and Rooney issued positive statements, expressing mutual respect and understanding. The club acknowledged Rooney's efforts and wished him well in his future endeavors, while Rooney thanked the club and its supporters for the opportunity.
As Plymouth Argyle looks ahead, the search for a new manager begins, with the aim of revitalizing the team's performance and climbing out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, fans continue to share their lighthearted takes on the calendar mishap, finding humor in an otherwise challenging season.
