The top aim must be survival because Arsenal has one of the lowest budgets in their competition.

Hallet is firmly behind Rooney

Back when Rooney was announced as the Pilgrims head coach, some questioned it as a poor call after he contributed significantly to the Blues’ relegation in 2023-24 and suggested Simon Hallett had chased a big name.

However, Hallett was quick to defend the appointment he made, stating this to TalkSport: “We believe that you can’t just look at results, you have to look at the impact the manager has on the team. You have to look at the data, the underlying performances before the manager arrives and afterwards.

“That means looking at things other than just wins and losses.”

So far, Rooney has done enough to back up Hallett’s call but the Devon club are still locked in a relegation battle and the announcement of the documentary may leave some wondering whether the appointment had ulterior motives.

Rooney was likely the deciding factor on Plymouth documentary

In recent seasons, fly-on-the-wall films have gained a lot of popularity at teams like Wrexham, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur, among others. Nonetheless, the teams who are frequently observed have a little magic going on at the club thanks to stars like Hollywood at the Red Dragons and José Mourinho at Spurs.

Before this season, you wouldn’t think any corporation would be very interested in discussing Portsmouth’s season in length, but the appearance of someone like Rooney has increased interest.

Hallett has likely seen an opportunity to make Argyle famous because the former England star is well-known all around the world. Additionally, it must provide some sort of revenue that could be utilised for upcoming club expansions or changes.

Previous episodes prompted concerns when former Sunderland midfielder George Honeyman remarked that viewing Netflix’s Mackems documentary made him feel like he was on “Big Brother.” It is unclear whether this will affect the players and management team.

Though many would begin to blame Hallett of authorising the shot if Plymouth’s performance declines, Rooney will want to put an end to this kind of chaos.

Wayne Rooney outlines how he will deal with documentary

Speaking to Plymouth Live, Rooney explained why he believes this is a good step for the team and that he is definitely not stupid enough to let everything be filmed.

“That’s something that the club and I have agreed upon. From a financial standpoint, it’s advantageous for the club,” Rooney stated.

“It has to be at the right times,” the former Rams manager continued when discussing the access the camera team would be granted. Access will not be available for anything that we believe could have an impact on players on matchday.

“I don’t think it’s any different for the players or a shock to have cameras around, because most clubs have their own internal cameras nearly everywhere these days. It won’t be a problem once they adjust to that.”

Although Plymouth and EFL supporters will find it exhilarating, the majority of the team will only hope they make it through the Championship. If they do, there won’t be much discussion about how it affects the players, but if the documentary’s results don’t improve, it might become a point of contention.
