Dr W Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 So he was just trying to squeeze more cash out of United. Not sure he's done himself any favours with ManU supporters. Personally I couldn't give a toss about any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 He wasn't going to go far anyway as Colleen wouldn't move abroad because of her sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_commoner Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 i think the fact that most of the managers of the teams he was linked with stated that they hadnt spoken to him and that they considered him a united player, i read that as they didnt necessarily want him. i think he may have done aswell hence he has signed a new deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Its a bloody strange one after the things he said? I hope Sir Alex made him grovel - and despite what City and Chelski say, they would have taken him without a second thought! I only wish they had kept his salary at £90k and then made him show his commitment (not that 90k would have been a hardship ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick darstardly Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 This was Fergies greatest ever mind game, he as the manager with all the background staff reliying on him keeping his job can not come out and openly critisis the owners, he can however send out wayne to cause all this and force the owners to give him/wayne assurances of investment in the future, he used to do the same thing with roy keane to comment of refs and other managers/players. Fergie is a genius and knows exactly what he is doing. The thing that is intresting to me is that Wayne has signed a 5 year deal and stated its due to the managment in place, so what has Fergie agreed to ? will he also be staying another 5 years?

Devon Fox Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I bleeding hope he does another 5 years! How can you replace him? He is the most important part of United - Long live Sir Alex!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much money they are on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 So he has signed a 5 year contract, but whats the betting that he is sold for top dollar before 3 years are up ? These negotiations were all about protecting an investment. If the deal had not been done then Rooney could have been sold in January for around £20-30 million, in 2-3 years time it will be nearer £80 million.

Sadly, that is the most likely outcome - Ronaldo's move to Real was exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet boy Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Its all very strange these last few days,in the way he wanted to leave and now signs for another 5 years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I think it is one of 2 things: 1) he was trying to get more money out of United or 2) he thought his image would have too badly damaged for the way he had gone about things, especially because important people in football were cracking up about it. I would rather we got a couple more years out of him and get the true value of what he is worth, than sell him for peanuts in January.

Frenchieboy Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 So he is back with a club that in his own words "has no ambition" and is now singing their praises again. How long before he throws his rattle out of the pram again - Any bets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dick darstardly Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I rekon that he will be sold at the end of the season. With 4 years on his contract the sale could be 60m + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren h Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Reckon this whole sage sums up football currently, full of overpaid spoilt footballers who wanna get a grip with the real world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
