Why would people boo him while he's still at United? Why don't we show him some love and he might stay and start scoring again. Wouldn't that be better?

Thanks for pointing that out Lou!!
He'll have enough dignity to allow us to collect what we have earned from him as long as we let him go I would think.
The fact that he said that fans shouldn't be chanting his name at the weekend, to me signals that his time at OT will be up very shortly, and there's no repairing that. No doubt about it.the situation is not beyond repair but SAF has played uniteds last card and its all down to Rooneys next move now
once he plays and the fans get a chance to air their views it'll be too late to back track imo however with the "injury" ruling him out of tomorrows game i'd say he's got until the weekend to come to the table

Man Utd Supporters Trust backing Fergie, but "our concern lies with the owners.Does their ambition match that of Rooney or indeed the fans?"
My thoughts exactly.
I imagine there will be a few "City Rent Boy" type chants which are meh, reasonable, but outright personal abuse will just push him out of the door.
At the moment I think Rooney is mentally all over the place, but he's odds on to stay here once he gets his mind straight.
MUST need to get to feck, they'll use any excuse the wankers. A true MAN UNITED supporters trust would releasea statement telling Rooney that he's a bin dipping twat.

Wow. How fickle can United fans be. They believe the stories coming out of a bunch of rags rather then their own personal belief in players. You'd think after the Vidic debacle many would fecking learn. Its a non story designed to increase circulation for fecks sake. Not one article even comes close to mentioning a real quote.

He'll go the way of Gazza in all probability, his off field troubles will like Gazza ruin him, his family will leave him and he'll have no manager who cares enough to protect him from it happening, in essence he'll have ruined himself and his career just like gazza did, all out of greed.
I think he needs United a lot more than we need him, the club can always buy another striker and develop other players, the club will be here long after Rooneys a washed up has-been, youll regret it Wayne, such a shame you cant see it.
I'd like to give it a go though.Money doesn't make you happy, as they say.
Did we? When?We sold Ronaldo, we sold Tevez, brought in a bunch of children. He doesn't want to spend his remaining years hunting for that elusive 4th spot. He clearly doesn't believe in the team and wants to move on. It can only be ambition.
Respect to Fergie 100%.
Handled that 100% brilliantly. Pulled a real rabbit out of the hat, because I for one would never have expected him to speak so honestly and candidly.
I fully expected "thats bullshit" kind of stuff, but he was open, honest and completely realistic.
Whatever the reasons are for him wanting out ( and I suspect its much to do with the issues in his private life again ) Fergie hasnt come out slating him, or made things worse.
For the first time in many years I think Fergie has shown a human side to him where players are concerned, and the look on his face suggested to me he feels really really let down by the way Rooney has acted.
M.U.S.T on Rooney: Disappointed, and unhappy that ‘we are unable to compete even with small clubs like Manchester City
’By Nick Harris
19 October 2010
The Manchester united Supporters Trust (MUST) has responded to the news that Wayne Rooney wants to leave the club, with a spokesman saying he is “disappointed”, and that “we still hold out hope that the situation can be resolved.”
MUST also use the development to highlight concerns over the ownership of the club, and have a pop at rivals Manchester City – bookies’ favourites to sign Rooney - for being a “small” club.
“We back Sir Alex’s judgement as ever but our concern lies with the owners,” the MUST spokesman said. “They have saddled us with a huge debt and they are taking more and more money out of the club every season and the lack of net investment in the squad since they arrived is clear to all. They’ve bought players but are they like for like replacements in terms of the quality of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane and Cristiano Ronaldo?”
“Our club is generating record revenues yet it appears we are unable to compete even with small clubs like Manchester City let alone Chelsea, Madrid and Barcelona. We know where the money is going and it has to stop. The question being asked by many fans is does the ambition of the owners match that of Rooney or indeed Manchester United supporters? On the evidence so far it would appear the answer is clearly not.
“The contrast could hardly be starker between the owners at Manchester City who are pumping millions into their club while the Glazers are leaching huge amounts out of ours. People talk about players being greedy with multimillion pounds contracts but those figures pale into insignificance compared with the hundreds of millions the Glazers have extracted from Manchester United through their takeover.”
A protest march against the Glazers is planned before the Tottenham game on 30 October.

MUST will use any and every situation to attack the owners everyone know this, its a shame really that on a day like this the first thing they think about is in essence blaming the glazers for Rooneys actions, not surprising but even so depressing.
In truth their a desperate bunch, have been for a while.
I subscibe to MUST. But this is the type of shit I dont care for.
Who the feck are MUST to tell SAF anything about who he wants in his fecking squad? Bunch of wankers them lot!
So MUST have come to the conclusion Rooney's leaving United due to 'lack of ambition'. I fecking hate the Glazers, but you can't fault them if the scouse twat wants to leave, especially if we offered him a big contract to stay.
Just watched the interview with Sir Alex.
The part that stood out for me was, that Gill had prepared an offer, that was going to make Rooney the best paid player in the country!
So, I don't know if that's the 200 k a week that has been talked about, but if so, why in the world does he want to leave, if we can pay I mean?
How can anyone really think that? For SAF to do what he did must show that there has been a huge breakdown between the club and Rooney, he said theres a offer on the table but Rooney hasnt even looked at it. I do believe for a player to do that must be indication that hes got a offer somewhere else and hes incline to go for it regardless of what United offer.
You're right Rooney has the next move but SAF has known for the last 2 months and today he came out saying what he said. Rooney had those 2 months to do something that indicated he wanted to stay but he hasnt. This situation is almost certain to end in Rooney leaving, the only question that remains is "for whom"

Treat the club like shit then you aren't worthy of the shirt, Rooney has treated us like shit.
Basically handing Rooney his excuse on a platter.
They try to sue and silence United supporters, but they'll gladly help Rooney in his needed P.R. war as he heads off to City.
