In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I woke up kinda expecting this...but what the flying feck?
Emotionally, I'm torn. He's a huge piece of shit I'll never respect again, but in footballing terms, if he can overcome what he's done to his relationship with everyone, it's a very good thing. He's got to fire his agent, doesn't he? That's the only way he can manage to take blame off himself. If we find a buyer(not City) and can get a sizable sum, sell him.

So, reading between the lines, they've agreed to sell him (2011/2012) providing he signs a new contract.
If he doesn't they'll sell him in January....but not to the club he's already made a deal with.

Definately.
Re 'delete all the Rooney bullshit', he's made his own bed, he deserves all the shit he gets.Sorry mate, I walk out of this mess without blood on my hands. Kept dignity through the whole saga
Apart from the wankers outside his house etc.
I have. They're standing outside Old Trafford talking to SSN
Er... no, not at all.
Rooney totally disrespected the club, fans, players and especially the manager with all this shit, he and he alone should be ashamed of himself, leading us along with all this crap and throwing his toys out the pram and threatening to leave. Pathetic behaviour. As fans we were perfectly within our rights to react badly to his appalling attitude.
Personally I'm torn between how to react to this news. In part I'm somewhat relieved, because say what you like we would have definitely struggled without Rooney. Form is temporary and all that, he'll get back to his best. But then I'm also still pissed off with Rooney for treating us this badly, and messing about with the fans, in a way I think he might have gone past the point of no return, he's tainted and I don't think I can view him as the same player - we know now he has zero loyalty to our club and fans.
Then again, I'm also pretty amused. City fans must be absolutely fuming.
Better luck next time lads!no he's still a twatSo he's now one of the best strikers again?
I had a breakdown as well!Ljajic Watch was hilarious, Pogue's breakdown.
I might have even used the c word...
Sorry if I've missed it, but does anyone actually have any idea how much he's getting paid with this new contract and (more unlikely) how that relates to the previous offer? People seem to be suggesting he's won a massive extra wad with this drama.
just what we were thinking tbh
I'm convinced that people start milling about stadiums when there's a good story going on just so they can get on tv.
Pogues breakdown must have rubbed off on you.I had a breakdown as well!
I might have even used the c word...
I agree strongly with everything in this thread except the bolded. Rooney is really a massive cnut and I wouldn't have minded him being shipped off in Jan as long as we had sufficient funds to re-invest and it wasn't City or Chelsea.
But for the sake of the club I think that it's in our best interests that we've re-signed him. From a business sense him signing the contract at least means we won't get shafted if we do actually decide to get rid. Also, obviously he's our best striker when you ignore the last seven months.For the stability of the team, losing Ronaldo, Tevez and Rooney in consecutive seasons doesn't send out the right signal, nor does a player not only bullying SAF but also getting his way at the end which you can argue he has now as clearly his intention was to get more £££ from the club, but SAF called his bluff and made him look the cnut in the process. This is quite a crucial point of the season where we really don't want to lose any more ground on Chelsea and I'm thankful that this hasn't dragged to January and that the squad can focus on the challenges ahead.
That said, we have to make sure that we don't forget he's been a complete and utter cock towards the club, the fans, and his teammates. I hope he gets dog's abuse off the fans at OT and that he comes out admits he's wrong and has been a bellend, a proper apology and grovelling, not some half-arsed statement through an agent. And of course that he plays 50% better to justify a 50% pay rise.
I'm glad he's signed
but that doesn't change the fact that he's a lying cnut and having tried to shaft SAF will find that he'll be farmed out next close season . For a fat fee and good riddance - SAF will not forget this episode

as in official site
edit: guess its already posted.
what about that banner that called him a whore are we going to cheer him on now, jesus it make us look like hypocrites.
it would only make us look like hypocrites if we didn't still think he was a whore
I might watch that film later. I believe this line from it sums up this thread well;
"That's a lot of nuts!"
Fergie may not be around much longer.
After this I could hardly blame Fergie if he said "feck this.. no point carrying on when players can do this"
blah blah fecking blah
a fat fee from the cnuts in Madrid in the summer and I'll be willing to drive the cnut there myself and I won't be alone.

Lawrenson was right. United needs Rooney more than Rooney needs United.
How can he respond to the question by saying "But my message is that I care for this club and I want to be here. That’s important to know "
erm, 2 days ago you stated you were adamant to leave. £180k enough ambition for ya ?

United have been around long before him and will be around long after.
Like I said, a fat fee in the summer and we should feck him right off.

I've been saying this all the way along.
Its fecking terrible that football has got this way, but thats the harsh reality of it.
No matter what anyone says, the players are now bigger than the clubs.
quite a sad state of affair, we cave in to his demand after he slate our players and our club in public....
It reminds me on the situation liverpool fans had with Steven Gerrard in July 2005. But difference is, I have not seen a United fan burning Rooney shirt like the liverpool fans did to gerrard
I really dont know what to make of this, WTF!
No it doesn't.
Majority aren't happy that our best player has signed a new contract, that should be an indication of how much of a cnut he has been in this whole saga.
I can't believe anything what he says these days, he's still a cnut for me despite this contract.
Rooney has done possibly one of the most retarded things in World football. He's made millions of fans that adored him think he's a twat and want him out of their club, and the end result is that he's signed a deal that was already on the table anyway. He could've had these conversations with Sir Alex in private and recieved the assurances that he wanted in private without dragging the club through the shit. It's utterly retarded from Rooney and Stretford.
The positives.
- We still have a World Class Waye Rooney.
- We have a World Class Wayne Rooney with an awful lot to prove and some fans to win over.
- The World, despite questining us over the past few days has had some kind of display that there isn't a big problem at United, that from Waynes statement, there are funds here to spend if needed and that perhaps tales of our decline are much exaggerated.
- City fans who have already made a "Welcome to Manchester" Sign with Rooney on, can jog the feck on.
The negatives.
- looks like we pandered to him a bit
- possibly issues in the dressing room. Although I think that can resolved in the same way I have to resolve the issue in my own head. I think he's a cnut. But also I know he's a thick fecker. Perhaps the players can forgive Forest Gump.

No, we just sprayed "sign for City and you're dead" over his face.It reminds me on the situation liverpool fans had with Steven Gerrard in July 2005. But difference is, I have not seen a United fan burning Rooney shirt like the liverpool fans did to gerrard
Fergie: "Ok Wayne here's the plan...Whisper,whisper, whisper, I just hope the fans don't lynch ya befor it works. That way we get the Glazers to realise they need to invest, and with some luck maybe even our neighbours fans might think you are gonna sign for them" LMAO
not his actual face, that would've been hard
Over his face? Wow. He must have shite security.
We? So you were one of them? Class.....
