PLYMOUTH Argyle are looking at ways how they can support head coach Wayne Rooney rather than replacing him, Simon Hallett has declared.
The Pilgrims' owner and chairman gave his backing to Rooney during a fans' forum staged by the Plymouth Argyle Cornish Supporters' Association on Monday night. It came after reports in the national media that the 39-year-old was 'fighting for his job' ahead of back-to-back home games against Oxford United and Swansea City.
Injury-hit Argyle have dropped to 21st position in the Championship after heavy defeats away to Norwich City (6-1) and Bristol City (4-0) last week, while they have won just one of their last nine games and lost five of them.
Hallett told the fans' forum at St Dennis Working Men's Men's Club: "Clearly, we are all under pressure.
We are not playing well, we are not doing on the pitch what we wanted us to do, so we are all feeling the pressure.
"Fans are feeling the pressure, the board is feeling the pressure and Wayne is feeling the pressure. What we are going to do is not think about getting rid of him and changing him.
We are thinking about how we can support him.
