Holly's just gone fecking mental.
For a good cause mind.

MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!
- Thread starter 42 euros
- Start date
That's because they're taking the stance that Rooney's a victim in all this and Adrian Durham is up Rooney's arse
@ Ian LadymanHe really is his own man with his own opinions, Doesn't suck up to anyone
Am I alone in wanting Rooney out of the club?
I could never support him again, I would struggle to celebrate one of his goals, it would always leave a bitter taste in my mouth now we have seen his true colours.
I just want us to get some solid cash for him in January and invest in a couple of players to put us back on our path.

Holloway's a true football man, no bullshit diplomacy, tell it as it is. Great interview.
Roy is like the rebel son but at the end of the day you can tell he loves the club.
Apologies if this has been discussed, but I have only had time to read bits and pieces of this 120+ page thread.
But I was wondering how much of all this could be because Rooney is just a coward. Perhaps afraid to have the expectations and pressure of being THE goal scorer. While he had that role last year, and performed fantastically, I don't think he realized how important he was perceived to be until the title chase fell apart when he was injured ("perceived" being the key word, as his injury had nothing to do with bad points dropped earlier in the year). For England, he's perceived/expected to be THE guy to get it done, and look at how he performed with that pressure during the summer. No wonder he wants to be on City. They've got about 15 strikers in the squad with which to share the goals (and the blame if the goals don't come).

I want him gone as soon as possible.
All this backlash on him is fecking fantastic to see.
In what way?
No -- he has to go -- he has said too much and just give us some money and feck off -- to Spain!
Does anyone else feel the longer this goes on the more and more it's becoming "But gaffer I didn't mean it like"
i agree, it's brilliant to see people siding with us for a change
I'd say the vast majority want him gone and many have moved on from caring about how, where or when too. If he did change his mind he'd have a lot of work to do before he could begin to mend the relationship with the fans and it would never ever be the same again.
Yeah, it's bothering me.
not a word all day? what if they dont put this to bed before our bed time? it could be a horrific scenario!
it's so different to when Ronnie wanted to go, isn't it?
the difference in class between them is astonishing
yep, have had that feeling in the past hour or two
Nope. No way back for him. They're just putting a polish on it at the moment, I would have thought.
Special 1 TV won't be the same anymore
Striker 10? Fred?
No. More like sorting things out with his side to make sure this will have a minimum effect on us until he's actually gone.
Well the Gill and Fergie meeting is over. Wonder what's taking so much time.
really? they're siding with Rooney?
100%. I'd take Ronnie back any day of the week and I still enjoy watching him do well for Madrid. Rooney can rot for all I care now.
in talks with madrid over kaka.
because ronnie at least made his intentions known, instead of being a back stabbing cnut. would gladly welcome ronnie back any day
You complete.... person!
Fred wasn't supporting his actions though but hoping for a positive anti glazer outcome from the situation.
Possibly one last contract offer. As SAF said the door is still open and I believe he will try one last time to sort this out with Rooney.
United fans in my part of the world are in agreement that Rooney now needs to go, but also agree he's not wrong about the management's lack of commitment on getting new top class players to replace the old legs or Ronaldo and Tevez.
Bebe and VDV coming to England for the same price is just plain ridiculous.
I'm curious to see what happens with our transfer activity after Rooney leaves.

Oh sorry. Was not exactly following what those 2 were saying. Just saw it was them vs the rest
Manchester United 'holding statement' expected soon. But what are they holding? #mufc #fb
There won't be a contract offer unless he comes back crawling on his hands and knees. Literally.
How awkward will that be. I doubt the father-son relationship with Fergie will ever be the same again and what about the other squad members he's thrown under the bus with his statement yesterday?
