It's the offer they claim was still open for him to accept. Fergie mentioned it in his Press Conference. If it's 220k that's nuts tbh.

I agree £220,000 is nuts. But at the end of the day the figure here is crucial in determining how this situation was resolved. If United crumbled then Rooney is just in it for the money. If he accepted the initial offer then Fergie called his bluff.

All I can say is that Im a happy man.How it must sting the opposition fans to see him staying.;)

You're easily amused then! There was only one club that could afford him so maybe they are a little upset, but the rest of us, I don't think so.
To the guys who had the banner saying "Who's the Whore now" - good question. But a payrise from £95K to £160K makes it obvious who's getting ridden!

and finally, this just in
United have very cleverly told Wayne he’s signed until 2015. He thinks that means he can leave at quarter past eight tonight !

If Fergie played a blinder we would have never heard anything about this milark. It would have passed over smoothly. It was anything but. It turned the spot light on Fergies inability to keep his best players and it put the spot light on the owners lack of investment in the club which is clearly not going in the right direction.

It was Fergies press conference that was the master stoke , it put the pressure on Rooney to either sign up or ship out giving him the deadline of yesterday afternoon to make his decision or it would be made for him .

Brilliant man management.

Oh my GOD, that's bad!!!

150k is OK. 220k is too much.

However if it is 220k then it shows that Fergie is right, the glazers will give him big bucks for a player he really wans.


However, I think Fergie(rightfully) will sell him in the summer of this year, or maybe next, for big bucks.

No no no no no no no no no.

Absolutely delighted. Legend Rooney!!!

Now all we have to do is sell Carrick and we are sorted.

LOLZ and his solution is to take even more money out of the club with an improved contract.

All Hail Wayne, United's Guardian Angel.


Give me break and Talk sense man will ya

T-Shirts and Goals, I think they are more than breaking even on his wages.

Delighted he has signed because he wouldnt have been replaced properly if he had gone. Hes such an important player to the squad.

He still acted like a cnut though and will have lots of bridges to build at the club.

After the weeks that been, nothing will surprise me in football anymore.

I don't know why, but this has made me extremely happy. I never fully believed that he'd leave. Why did this break in October? why not in August when a team could come in for him? I was starting to give up on it in recent days but I never really believed it would happen.

I don't know what sort of reaction he'll get now, if he (or his agent) didn't make that statement to sky then I would believe that this was all a hoax. I'm not sure what to believe now tbh so I'll reserve my judgement for the moment anyway

Cool. Did Gerrard sign a new contract too or what the fúck has that got to do with this thread?

I wonder what assurances (read:new signings) have now been promised to Fergie. It will be interesting with Gill already saying there is money to spend in January.

But the very fact that it got to that stage where he had to publicly villainise his best player like that and where angry hate mobs were camped outside his house doesn't seem like 'brilliant man management' to me. AS I posted earlier, if he was as good at 'man management' as you lads say it would have never got to that stage.

Fergie is nothing short of a genius. When he leaves that's when our biggest problem will occur.


I still stand by the fact we are short a few players. Fergie knows it everyone knows it. Whether he see's the value for the players is a different matter.

But a huge +1 for Fergie. Excellent handling of the situation yet again.

Nope. Just similar in a way to what happened with Gerard. Don't think that is so off topic.
So no need to get in a hissy fit.

davyjose

Rio's on twitter giving out about all the "doubters". All we're guilty of is believing the words that came out of Rooney's mouth, Rio!!! :rolleyes:

Not really I'm sure Rooney's agent wanted this to go public. Fergie was well prepared, it's excellent man management. Fergie can't stop Rooney's agent releasing a public statement.

Its hilarious, most of them were Liverpool fans trying to divert the attention away from their HUGE mess.

Now the attention is back on their disaster.

A sad indictment of Irish people and the country we live in that this has been the biggest news story this week in a country that's quickly going down the pan.

We've hit the bottom and we're starting to rebuild, the correct way. Manu is on the way down and will be looking for someone to bail them out shortly.
Dont worry when we're on the way up and we pass you on the way down i'll give you a wave

I wonder with the biggest troll of them all(Dunphy) will say after the rubbish he came out with midweek.

But again I'm still not delighted at all of this happening in public.

Keep on believing that. Where is the team being rebuilt? The new owners are not playing on the pitch.

Don't presume Joe Cole will change anything.

According to you a good team is about owners?? We have twice the squad of Liverpool. BIG difference i'm afraid.

Nothing to do with owners. All about the players. Therefore ye are still at the bottom and will remain for a long time . Ha ha
