"It's been two years of poor decision making,"
"But to then turn the shotgun on ourselves the summer after survival, and to appoint Wayne Rooney was just a massive error on everybody's part really. It wasn't for the want of Wayne's best efforts, but for a data-driven club there wasn't a shred of data that suggested Wayne Rooney was the right fit for the role, or even worthy of an interview for the role frankly."

Plymouth Argyle finished 2022–23 with a club-record 101 points and promotion to the Championship. Steven Schumacher left for Stoke City in December 2023 with Argyle 16th and four points above the drop zone. The side survived the season by one point, with three of the final wins coming under caretaker management after Ian Foster left following a three-month spell. Wayne Rooney was appointed in summer 2024 despite prior struggles at Birmingham and vocal criticism about fit with a data-driven approach. The club has since fallen to the bottom of League One, changed four permanent head coaches in under two years, and endured a six-game losing streak.
