Its a fact that he's more than doubled his wagesI think what people need to realise and accept is that Rooney was ALWAYS going to get a pay rise of some sort. He is young and has just had the season of his life. He was hardly going to be one of our lower paid players.
But yes, I agree. I haven't seen any reports about Rooney's new wage anywhere, yet alot of people on here seem to have exact figures and say it is "fact".
Rather confusing
So has Chelsea, City, Madrid, Barcelona, Fall outs with fergie, Coleen wanting to move away... The fact is NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING!Both 180k and 150k has been mentioned.
If it's 150k, isn't that what he was going to be offered anyway? I still think it has much more to do with his endorsements than salary, since he'd be a less valuable spokesman were he to leave in such disgrace following his prostitute scandal.Both 180k and 150k has been mentioned.
Hard to tell with Ancelotti because he always looks a miserable git but he looked particularly gutted for a moment there but tried to hide it.the awkward silence is brilliant!
That just exposed the journalistic profession for the shower that it is! Can't believe not one of them could come up with another question beyond Rooney at a Chelsea press conference!
cool watchNIce one!!!! Here is a better version.
Manchester United Videos - Ian Holloway's outburst on Wayne Rooney - Simply Reds
Excellent post!So people on here just want to continue looking like fools.
Read the Rooney statement again. At what point does he say "I want to leave"? Fact is, he doesn't. He says he wouldn't renew his contact due to the result of a meeting with David Gill regarding the clubs future. None of us know what that meeting was about, was it to do with money? was it to do with Sir Alex? Was it to do with ambition? No one knows. Instead, alot of you choose to make your own stories up.
Watch Rooney's interview. The key part of it was he felt he had no where to go until Sir Alex said the door was open. Does that sound like a player who desperately wants out of the club? No, it doesn't. Those words from Sir Alex have been the key to all of this.
My guess is Rooney and Sir Alex had had a fall out stemming from the revelations about Wayne's private life. Their relationship has deteriorated and Rooney, who looks at Sir Alex as a "father figure", has taken the knock. Add that to on going contract negotiations (which may I add should have been sorted a while ago), poor form, constant media attention, marriage problems, persistent injuries and the presence of Paul Stretford on his shoulder, things have spiraled out of control.
I imagine there are worries around the playing staff about the Glazers. I mean us fans are scared enough. The G&G campaign has been in full flow and every other week the newspapers print how the club is in free fall and things are falling apart. Is Rooney wrong to be concerned about this? No, he isn't. Not one bit. The fans want answers and so do the players. You can't argue with that surely.
A player, who is on record from his own mouth, stating he wants a life contract, he wants to emulate Ryan Giggs and Bobby Charlton, he couldn't play for another club suddenly doesn't change their mind.
Again, we don't know everything there is to know about this fiasco. I think United have questions to answer, as do Rooney and Stretford. One thing I will say, is I won't stand and boo Rooney as who am I, without knowing whats gone on, to do that?
No one knows what is in his new contract when it comes to money, so why do you all persist in listening to the very media sources that told us Rooney would be gone in January? Will some of you not learn? Clearly not.
Yes, this whole thing has been a fiasco and yes I have lost some respect for Wayne Rooney as a result of it, but the situation is far from unattainable in my eyes. There was no transfer request nor was there any holding the club to ransom. Fergie has handled this brilliantly, and if he has decided Wayne should be able to stay and we as a club should move on, who am I, or any of you, to question him.
After all, what do we really know?
I confess... I just couldn't take one of my favorite players who I've followed every match pulling such a stupid attitude...Another note, how many of you posters critisizing Rooney have threatend to walk out of your employment if you didn’t get more salary? Come on, be honest now...

The rest of the thread is spam. I'm trying to prove the point that all of this is bullshit. People are inventing their own stories without any clue of the facts.Stop spamming, asshole.
Can't argue with that.If the events of this week lead to an immediate improvement in form as he seeks redemption on the football field, at least some good will have come of all this where it matters
People didn't invent Rooney refusing to sign a contract in the summer, refusing to sign a contract only a few days ago, publicly questioning the ambition of Manchester United Football Club, releasing a statement further reiterating all of this, only hours before a game...The rest of the thread is spam. I'm trying to prove the point that all of this is bullshit. People are inventing their own stories without any clue of the facts.
I don't think so. I think he realized how badly this affected his reputation. Can't see him pulling similar kind of rubbish anytime in the near futureDoesn't change a thing.... He can still ask for a transfer anytime-
a few bad results and you'll all be back on here.
Ignore Lance, he doesn't even know what a football looks like, and is in a bad mood as he has made some ridiculous comments over the past few days.The rest of the thread is spam. I'm trying to prove the point that all of this is bullshit. People are inventing their own stories without any clue of the facts.
Rooney ought to buy Nobby Stile's auctioned off WC Medal and give it back to the man.Breaking news: Rooney buys portsmouth after weeks wages.
Stop spamming.123k
well saidBored of this whole topic now, lets just get behind Berbaritto to put Stoke the sword and try to forget about this whole sordid fiasco.
His English is brilliant, especially for someone who didn't speak a word of it 18 months ago.
I like Ancelotti. Any chance we could steal him in a few years?His English is brilliant, especially for someone who didn't speak a word of it 18 months ago.
Have to agree, he seems a really likeable bloke. I'd suggest not on the stealing him front.I like Ancelotti. Any chance we could steal him in a few years?
He left AC in a right state though, his reputation in Italy isn't nearly as good as you'd think it would be.Have to agree, he seems a really likeable bloke. I'd suggest not on the stealing him front.
Indeed. Pretty much everyone* credible has turned round and said that Rooney would be a fool to leave. That has to have had a massive influence.People need to rationalise the effect of outside influences on this whole scenario. Outside of the key actors (SAF, the club & Rooney basically) how much influence has the Media, fans forums such as this one and that agent cnut had on the situation turning into the frenzy?
