The pressure is mounting on Plymouth Argyle chairman Simon Hallett and the board following a string of poor performances by the team. However, Hallett has made it clear that there are no discussions about sacking manager Wayne Rooney despite the recent setbacks.
After suffering a 4-0 defeat at Bristol City and a 6-1 loss at Norwich City, Argyle now finds themselves in 21st place in the Championship. The team has only managed to secure one win in their last nine league games, with their away form being a major concern.
Wayne Rooney, who took over as manager in May, has received a vote of confidence from Hallett at a recent fans’ forum. Hallett emphasized the importance of supporting Rooney rather than considering replacing him.

Rooney expressed his frustration after the recent defeat, labeling the performance as “embarrassing” and stating that the players were not living up to the standards of the club.
With two crucial home games coming up against Oxford United and Swansea City, Plymouth will be looking to turn their fortunes around and get back on track in the Championship.
