Because you badly photoshopped a picture

I honestly feel that this is Rooneys last season at United. The five year deal is to ensure that United get a good return on their investment when he is sold. If its not it will be the first time that someone has publicly crossed Alex Ferguson and survived.

I also think it could cause problems with the other players at United because Rooney has now shown the way to them in getting a better deal.

All in all I do not think this will end this saga at all.

I agree it is the begining of the end for him at United, He might stay another season or two, I think he'll look for another big payday then and he'll be just coming to his peak.

Rooney is the only Player that would get away with what he did, Vidic tried something similar but didn't bring it as far, United would probably have let him go had he pushed it.

Rooney didn't really cross Fergie he was very carful not to with the comments he made.

I assume that Fergie has basically gotten in a one on one with him and convinced him.

Convinced him with all that money. That'll teach him.. er wait..

These 2 threads are epic win.


Though am puzzled on a few things now...

Is Rooney back to being over rated or is he still world class as acclaimed by haters here after Fergies interview ?

Are United now showing ambition or did they cave into a mercenaries wage demands ?

Turnaround from the haters is quality reading.Keep it up please. :pac:

As for the handful of so called United fans who spouted drivel.. You should be fookin ashamed of yourselves.

empirix

as a Liverpool fan i have to say well done to mufc, with that clause rooney had to buy himself out of the contract they would of lost loads on him now they can sell the fat headed git for what - 40 million be fair, Ferguson will have hime gone next summer or the one after, rightly so, greedy git! I do think united are sailing towards troubled waters though, circa 43 million debt repayments a year - crazy, team is in decline too!!

Dempsey

What are the possibilities that he's doing a Stiliyan Petrov?

If I was a united fan I'd be happy that he's staying but sickened by his (probable) motives. ie money over club.

Still though, if he gets back scoring no-one will bat an eyelid.

Premiership footballers have way too much power.

Money talks.

The mirror report it as 160k with incentives and bonuses that could take it to 200k if we win league titles and CLs.

There's at least 3 or 4 who whined like tabloid readers they probably are.3 or 4 out of how many United fans who post here.That surely equates to a 100% fanbase theory. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I saw a few alright, I called him a bad name I think, but I still feel the same.:P
But, what I haven't seen are these posters loving Rooney again, but yet quite a few people claim this has happened.

Not what I read. What I heard from Fergie and Rooney. Rooney acted like a spoilt child, and tbh I hoped that he was better than that, but obvioussly it was false hope. I hope he goes on to play great stuff for United for the rest of his career, because he's undoubtedly a great player. But, I'm not too gone on him at this moment.

In what kind of f*cked up sport does a fella insult his manager, fellow players, p*ss of the fans that worshipped him and gets rewarded with more money than he could possibly spend in a week?

'Twould be nice if he bothered his hole on the pitch somtime soon as well.

Flah for someone who i am sure the mods had in consideration for the modship with Slick, you really have let yourself down over all of this imo.
You, me, the dog behind me who thinks i am bringing him for a walk, don't have a fookin clue behind what generated this.Whether it was for money,investment in the club or a huge fookin selling fee we won't know until the other 2 are discounted.

How have I "let myself down?"

The whole saga is just another nail in the coffin of soccer's soul for me. All I can comment on is what I've seen the last few days. And what I've seen is Rooney letting everyone down at United and getting rewarded with a sick pay rise for doing so. I don't see why I should scrabble around for some kind of angle or conspiracy theory that paints him in a better light just because I support United.

Also LOUL at the Flah modding this forum. Some craic that'd be.:pac:

d22ontour

Well looking at the options am pretty sure it was between the two of you.

Am not looking at any angle at anything.I don't know what happened bar a fergie interview and a statement.I didn't post regarding either as i felt it was quite unusual.
I still think Rooney may go in jan or the summer though.
There may or may not have been motives behind either statement, that's something we will never know until a movie is made.

To quote possibly the greatest thing ever said....For every action there is a reaction.This shít is for real. :cool:

It has been an interesting week but I have to say thank you Rooney!!!
Not one of my Man Utd friends can now talk about the mercenaries at City with a straight face......:D

He's a great player obviously when he is on form but I'm glad I stated early in the week that I didn't want him at City....

and there i think lies the issue, this is what i was saying yesterday afternoon. rooney took a contract yesterday that never changed. he was offered the same one yesterday, that he was offered before august 14th.

the reason he didnt sign, was lack of faith that we could win the CL and Prem again soon, unless we invested in a few new top players.

this was a story, made alot bigger than it needed to be.

What the hell is this thread about anyway?

TheDoc

Have to say I'm happy he is staying, but I havnt seen the official figues on his contract and will be interested to see them.

Should he get the massive wages been spoken about, I think thats going to cause some serious friction in the club.

If I was Berbatov, I'd be concerned as to why basically someone having a whinge and playing **** on the field gets rewarded with a massive pay rise.

I know Berbatov conducts himself better in these matters and I'm sure wouldnt, but you cant help but feel it might cause a bit of a little underlying tension.

Personally with how quickly things turned, I'm in two minds.

1) He has agreed to sign a new contract and be sold in the summer so the club can recoup a nice sum for him. Rooney has acknowledged that it would be the best for club.

The rise in salary might be a little hush hush money of the sort. But it doesnt explain why it would be five years, expect maybe for deceit.

2) This is genuine and he is staying. This makes the 5 year deal and the extra money seem a bit more realistic.

I dont know what to think. I expect Rooney to man up and start performing on the pitch and give his left bollock for the club now.

But I wouldnt be suprised in the summer, or next summer, if he looks for a move again.

Mr Alan

Guardian reporting 180k, that is an insane amount of money.

IvySlayer

Rooney better start performing soon then. Him demanding more money when everyone else is cutting back is fcking cheeky.

I guess that 50% tax rate he's paying was hurting him, somehow.

That was everybodys fear I think.

Quazzie

I've seen it mentioned a few times here that Rooney mightve signed a contract so that United could sell him for more money. That's not true because if he left on a free he could demand a massive signing on fee whereas when bought that'd be reduced sow by would he essentially take money from his own pocket for United?.

TheDoc

But a signing on fee doesnt supply money to United in any shape or form, thats money for himself.

I guess one of the theories is that he manned up a little and realised that with a new contract United can recoup some money from his sale when in a lengthy contract rather then the slashed price if he went on his current contract.

do you think that his antics since august the 14th led to this or his performances last summer?

imo, he signed the same contract this week, that he was offered all along, so this weeks activitys changed nothing.

Regardless of how Rooney has behaved there's still a hell of a difference between re-signing for a club that has won three Prems, a CL, 2 Carling Cups and a World Club in the last 4 years and signing for a club thats won jack sh*t in 34 years but pays the likes of Robinho and Emannuel Adebayour massive anmounts of money.

Irrespective of what ye said earlier in the week, ye'd have wet yeerselves in glee if Rooney had signed for ye, he's a far better vplayer than any striker ye have currently.

No he said there was an offer on the table and it was still there for him to sign.

Was in the shop grabbing lunch and had a nosey at a few papers, running with the notion he changed his mind because his child was sent death threats by United fans?

Wow, thats a new low and a paper looking to jump with the story but has no source close ot it.
