WAYNE ROONEY has been left clinging onto his job after Frank Lampard’s Coventry thrashed Plymouth 4-0.
Argyle are now rock bottom of the Championship following the drubbing.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto opened the scoring while Ephron Mason-Clark’s goal was sandwiched in between a Josh Eccles double.
Boos rang around the away section of the Coventry Building Society Arena.
And Rooney – who only took over in May – now faces the Plymouth sack.
Lampard meanwhile has taken Coventry to 14th after replacing Mark Robins in November.
The Chelsea legend brought in Joe Edwards and Chris Jones with him to Coventry.
But uncle Harry Redknapp warned his nephew may need some experience on his coaching staff.
Redknapp told SunSport: “If I could offer one piece of advice to Frank Lampard on his return to management with Coventry it would be to get a wise, old head on his staff.
“Not me, I’ve had it, but someone that is a little bit more experienced than him, that he can talk to.

“When I went to Portsmouth as manager, I brought in Jim Smith. I was an experienced manager myself by then but he was still brilliant for me to have around.
“Frank has got a difficult job on at Coventry and to have an older man on the team to sound out would be a huge benefit. But fair play to Frank for coming back into the game. He has got so much to offer.
“His football knowledge is immense and his reputation as a player, and the way he carried himself as a player, will hopefully rub off on the squad.
“It’s about getting the right job. For example, people are waiting for Wayne Rooney to fail in every job.
“But he has gone to Plymouth and although it is a big club, they don’t have money.
“They just about stayed up last season. Wayne’s up against it from the start.
“Yet I have sat down with him and spoken about football and he has the makings of a terrific manager.
“You just need the right club at the right time.”
