Rooney Begins Plymouth Tenure with Heavy Defeat

Wayne Rooney's tenure as Plymouth Argyle manager began with a crushing 4-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, highlighting significant challenges ahead. Rooney was candid in his criticism of the team's performance, emphasizing the need for basic effort and hinting at potential changes if players do not improve. The match featured several low points, including misspelled jerseys and a lackluster display with Plymouth managing only one shot on target while conceding 30.
