Of course we don't know the ins and outs, but it does sound like Rooney was very harshly treated under PDC, and sadly this appears to have affected his career subseqeuently.

Yes, di Canio seems to have left a trail of people who were badly scarred by his inhumane and manipulative behaviour. Still makes me angry. Narcissism is a clinical condition, for which he doesn't seem to have sought any treatment. I only hope this is the last money we'll have to write off as a result. |

Lots of people took this view while he was here. I just never like seeing complete shits succeed, even at my club. The short-term success wasn't worth the collateral damage. |

Hang on a minute here. Rooney had a decision whether to sign for us given that by then Paolo had a reputation.We don't know he was inhumane to Rooney - this is pure guesswork. Rooney took a risk and has been very well rewarded for that risk. |

I guessing its a fitness thing. He had skill to dribble around players, but lack the fight to run up and down the wing for 90 minutes.
I hope he doesn't fade away and keeps at it.

Well not quite guesswork. We know that he was ostracised from the squad and Cooper's clearly thinks that di Canio shot his confidence. Don't you work in HR? You should know that bullying isn't one of the risks an employee should have to factor in. |

You say inhumane, I say hard work Although I doubt either of us attended training.... |

“When I came to the club he was part of the squad and had brilliant ability but was maybe just a bit disillusioned with the previous regime,” Cooper said. “He was totally ostracised under that.
“He came back into the fold with me and Kevin (MacDonald) and showed glimpses of the ability which made the football club pay what they did for him.
“I think that really knocked him back, the way he was treated. Once you lose that momentum it’s difficult to then get it back but I’m sure that if he wants to get it back and push himself then he can make a career out of the game.
Whether being ostracised is considered inhumane is a discussion point, however it didn't do Rod Hull's career any harm.

However, Rod Hull's football/TV repair man career was a disaster... |

I hope he finds a club, and does well.
I think we can all make educated guesses to what happened under PDC!
