As he\u2019s leaving the training ground, the camera picks up Brady saying that he is \u201ca little worried about our head coach\u2019s work ethic\u201d. Questioning Rooney\u2019s dedication, a global sporting superstar as a player in his own right, and ultimately allowing that to be publicised in the documentary\u2019s final edit, is a telling decision. It undoubtedly reflects strongly on his emotional investment in the Birmingham project, but his indifference towards Rooney\u2019s prior achievements in assessing his character is unusual from a former athlete, particularly concerning someone as successful in their respective discipline. Rooney\u2019s representatives declined to comment when approached by The Athletic for this piece.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/landofphi\"> \/u\/landofphi <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6524567\/2025\/07\/30\/tom-brady-birmingham-documentary-rooney\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/sports\/comments\/1mdy93t\/during_wayne_rooneys_83day_reign_as_a_manager_at\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The relevant part of the article He talks about the ownership\u2019s priorities for the club, mentioning \u201cresilience\u201d, \u201chard work,\u201d and \u201cdiscipline\u201d.
