Wayne Rooney’s turbulent reign as Plymouth Argyle manager hit another low point on Sunday with a 2-0 defeat to Oxford United.
The loss marks Plymouth’s 13th defeat in 23 Championship matches, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table.
Defensive frailties continue to plague the team, as they have now conceded 51 goals in the league—a statistic that has further fuelled frustration among the club's supporters.
Fans have become increasingly vocal, calling for the Manchester United legend to step down amid the team’s dismal run of form.
Rooney's side has gone nine games without a win, intensifying the pressure on the manager and raising serious concerns about the club's ability to avoid relegation.

Calls for change grow louder as relegation looms
Plymouth's current predicament has left many fans demanding a managerial change to salvage their season. Supporters believe fresh leadership is essential to spark a turnaround and avoid the drop.
The team’s lack of form and organisation has only added to the calls for Rooney to relinquish his role and make way for someone who can reinvigorate the struggling squad.
A Plymouth fan posted on X: "If Rooney had any respect for football, he would resign tonight, go back to your wife and boys Wayne."
Another wrote: "Pathetic, spineless. Clueless. Wayne Rooney, get out of our f***ing club."
In the Stadium, there were chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning" by both set of fans.
As the calendar year winds down, Plymouth faces a critical challenge on New Year's Day when they host Bristol City at Home Park. With time running out and the club in desperate need of a resurgence, all eyes will be on Rooney and his team to see if they can halt their alarming slide.
