"You and your paper can feck off."
Damn it, I'd just finished writing the thing out :lol:

Few rewinds on the old Sky+ so it isn't 100% (or even close to that grammatically :D):

What if he sits there for 18 months, throws tantrums, don't try, don't play and someones already told him 'We'll take you and we'll pay you some of that money we should have paid Man United 'cause you can walk out on a free'?
What are we actually saying as human beings, is that right? Do you want to sign a person like that? Do you want to play for a club that says that to you? How do we know that hasn't happened? The game is wrong, the people in charge of the game are wrong. I'm not calling them names, I'm just telling them they're wrong. They are so wrong, this is frightening. If Alex Ferguson is being bullied by a player or his agent, whatever you want to call it, how wrong is the game? And when are you gonna listen to the people who are involved in the game, do you understand? And they say about 'oh it's not fair on the player', rubbish, the players had his wage every week guaranteed come rain or shine whether he's injured or not. They've bought him, they've worked with him, he belongs to them. You buy a house you own the deeds, its paid for if you're lucky enough to do that it's yours. What if it's 24 years you've had it for and it can just toddle off and do what it likes? It's not right is it? It's so obvious, it's so obvious it's is so wrong. The world should change if it's wrong and football should look at itself. It's wrong, FIFA, UEFA, whoever you are..you're wrong"
We had it right, ask us how we were doing it and thats what you should have copied with the Bosman rule. Mr Bosman was held back, his contract ran out they offered him half the money yet they still asked more money than another club who was gonna pay for him, in our country you'd have walked out for nothing. Thats what they should have copied. Some complete person who isn't in the real world, in our realm said if you're 24 "oh yeah if you're 24 you can go and be what you like and do what you like." Who is this person? How wrong is that? Sort your life out.

Thats all I'm saying, it might be a rant it might be quite funny to watch it but I feel passionately about this. I'm looking at Alex Ferguson, I'm looking at him thinking what a magnificent manager, how can he handle this? How he feels about Man United, how proud he is of Man United. Yet Mr Wayne Rooney or his agent can now manufacture a situation like this, thats what they're doing. Managers fall out with players, if you don't want to play for that manager don't sign a 4 year contract, 2 year contract. Don't, don't do it, that's your choice but that's the commitment. Man United played £30m for him. Absolute nonsense.

Thing is I expect us to put him on the transfer list. Problem is it doesn't really put things to bed because there will be stories and speculation until he actually leaves.

Truth like rain don't give a feck who it falls on.
Don't know if this has been posted but looks like Evra has said if you don't trust your team mates you shouldn't be in the team... Fletcher has said we will carry on without him... No way the door can still be open for Rooney, he couldn't play for us properly if he tried to come back. Everybody has sided with United and rightly so.

Atleast it ends speculation about him actually making a U-turn and signing a contract. By putting him on transferlist I guess the offer is off the table? Thats really the only way to put it to bed.

This whole saga has reminded me of John Terry's attempt to go to Man City last summer, with the outrageous wage demands and assurances over player signings.


Reports from Spain is that he is demanding 14MM Euros per annum, 1MM more than Cronaldo.

Listening to Holloway just makes my blood boil. I'm even more angry at Rooney and his whole circus than ever before. Bloody idiots!

If Rooney made a u-turn

If Rooney made a u-turn and signed a new deal, how would you feel about him? I would be happy but my thoughts and feelings on him would be tainted. I don't know if I could support the player as much as before.
