FANS have called for Wayne Rooney to be SACKED just two months into his job as Birmingham City manager.
The Manchester United icon was appointed manager in October on a three-and-a-half-year contract.
Rooney, 38, took over when the club was fifth in the Championship with an eye on promotion.
He replaced John Eustace but instead of pushing the team on, he has overseen a huge drop-off.
Rooney has lost eight of his 13 matches in charge of the Blues, who have subsequently dropped all the way down to 19th in the league.
The most recent defeat came at the hands of Stoke City at St Andrew’s.
