Wayne Rooney warns Robbie Keane about Tottenham job
Wayne Rooney has said there is ‘no way’ a manager like Robbie Keane should join Tottenham Hotspur right now.
The former Premier League striker is backing the Lilywhites to be relegated this season, and therefore joining them now could damage his reputation.
Ian Wright suggested on The Overlap that Keane would be his pick: “You know something, I think Tottenham, what are they waiting for now? You know what I’d do? I’d bring in Robbie Keane.”

Rooney believes that Tim Sherwood would be better suited to the job at the moment, rather than Keane, who is currently in a job.
“I think they’ll go down. That’s why I was saying, if I were Robbie Keane now, I wouldn’t go in. If I were Robbie Keane, I wouldn’t leave a job to go to Tottenham now,” Rooney added.
“If you’re Sherwood or whoever is out of a job, I’d go in. But if I were Robbie Keane, there’s no way I’d leave a job to go to Tottenham.”
