Coleen: "Why we don't want to uproot our kids'

FAMILY'S JOINT DECISION NOT TO FOLLOW WAYNE DOWN TO PLYMOUTH

COLEEN Rooney, wife of Plymouth Argyle head coach and former England striker Wayne Rooney, has revealed why she and her husband will not be uprooting their family to move fulltime down to Devon.

The couple have four lively sons – Kai, 14; Klay, 11; Kit, eight; and Cass, six – who are all settled at schools in Cheshire, where Coleen also manages a busy business portfolio, so she has already got her hands full.

In an exclusive chat from their home in Cheshire, Coleen, 38, told the Daily Mirror about the family’s carefully considered decision not to make the move to Devon, saying: “We thought long and hard about it, but with the kids it just didn’t work. Kai’s now in year 10 and just starting GCSE prep and everything’s going well with football, and the other boys are all settled at school, so it didn’t seem fair on the children to pick them up and take them away, and start in a whole new place.
