Birmingham City fans direct brutal chant at Wayne Rooney during defeat against Leeds United

Wayne Rooney has endured a tough time in charge of Birmingham City

Birmingham City fans showed their frustration by directing a brutal chant towards manager Wayne Rooney.

Back in October, former England and Manchester United forward Rooney was confirmed as Birmingham manager after he left MLS side DC United.

At the time, the decision to remove John Eustace to appoint Rooney did not go down well and the negativity has continued after a dreadful start under the 38-year-old.

Since Rooney took charge, Birmingham have been sliding down the Championship table. During their clash against Leeds United on Monday, fans were directing a brutal chant at Rooney. You can watch the footage below.

The Birmingham fans were heard chanting: “Get out of our club, get out of our club, Wayne Rooney, get out of our club.”

On the back of the defeat by Leeds, Birmingham are now 20th in the Championship table, seven points above the relegation zone.

Speaking after the 0-0 draw with Bristol City last week, Rooney spoke about the fans’ anger.

He told Birmingham Live: “That’s football and sometimes when you are conceding goals you have to make a decision on if you want to go full out and try and score three, four goals every game.

“We have been scoring goals but we really had to prioritise our defensive play today to make sure we were solid. That was our game-plan and a priority for us today.”

He continued: “Of course you want to do more in the final third. I’m not saying we weren’t looking to attack at all. The real priority today was a clean sheet.

“I sat here after the last game answering questions on what we can do to stop conceding goals, so we have really focused on that and I’m pleased with that.”

Birmingham will be back in action this weekend when they take on fellow Championship side Hull City in the third round of the FA Cup.
