A documentary into Wayne Rooney's managerial career has reportedly been scrapped after he was sacked as Plymouth Argyle manager. Plymouth parted company with Rooney by mutually consent on New Year's Eve following a nine match winless run. The results left the club bottom of the Championship table, with Rooney having only overseen four league wins.

Plymouth had agreed for filming to begin in October for a behind the scenes documentary into Rooney's time at the club. The club had been looking to follow the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, Sunderland and Wrexham by netting a windfall from a documentary.

Footage was also filmed during Plymouth's win at home to Portsmouth and draw away to Derby. Plymouth reportedly told filmmakers to take a break last month amid concerns the documentary was becoming a distraction amid the club's winless run, with the set of results ultimately leading to Rooney's departure.
