MERGED: Rooney signs new contract!

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.

It's such azshame because if they saved their attacks for the real issues they'd be far more credible.
 
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.

:lol:
 
I read something today about Rooneys intentions; apparently, upon realising Manchester United were unwilling to match -what he thought were reasonable- contract offers, it was apparent that the Glazers club intentions and ambitions are not what they once were in comparrison to other 5-star clubs. If Man Utd are unable to meet "fair" demands for there star players, then what chance have they of signing what is required to challenge for the top honours.

When City are biting at our heels, bringing in fresh faces, whilst offering three times what United are offering, then who says that there future -to him - is not a brighter one. And that's before we even mention Barca, Madrid or Chelsea, who are getting stronger and stronger, year on year; the clubs that realistically will be winning the next set of Champions leagues.

He's done it all at United, obviously isn't happy with the whole Glazer situation, uproar and the way he's been treated fancially, not to mention personal issues.

Speculation.
 
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.

Great news if you ask me.

No more will i have to find excuses to defend the fat scouser, as why he belongs alongside the worlds top three players. If it wasn't for the fact he played for United, Rooney would in my opinion be on the same level as Tevez, good player but not one of the worlds best. Its only his image that united give him, that people argue otherwise, people/media overlook that fact far too much if you ask me. United build superstars up more so than the other way around.

Technically there are far superior players out there that would probably cost and have wages half as much and bring what Rooney brings to United.

40-50M offer we should get rid, 18months on contract or not.
 
How the feck is this the Glazers' fault?!

I am shocked. We've truly seen the worst of Rooney and some sections of the supporters after today's press release.

M.U.S.T needs to get fecked. I am glad they have no part in the club's ownership or we'd be the next Leeds.

Yes, but they and their ego-stroking little clique would be in charge, and that's what really counts.

They're just as bad as the Glazers. Maybe worse because at least the Glazers don't pretend to be anything but cash-grabbing bastards, whereas MUST pretend to be the saviours of the earth instead of a bunch of cynical power-mad twats without a fecking clue to rub between themselves.

I'm reporting you to someone who'll know doubt report you to the proper authorities.

Care to mention a vibrator to help our case?
 
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see that. He's having a torrid time, his form has dipped and he doesn't want to play for United. That's not someone treating a club like shit, that's someone who's having a torrid time and doesn't want to play for United. We're big boys and girls, there's loads of people out there who don't want to play for United, we'll get over him. At least he's being honest.

The door's still open for him so let's see if we can't change his mind or, if he goes abroad, wish him well.

I mean, if he goes to City all bets are off but that's just my two cents worth.

He asked for a move before this torrid time began, we treated him excellent in his time of need and he wants to turn his back on that, the fact that this has all come about suddenly since March where he was adamant he never wanted to leave.
 
Always a shame to see these players going for the money, yes I know it's a job and if I were to be offered more money elsewhere I would leave my job in an instant. But we are talking a whole different category of wages here, for gods sake he earns as much in a month as the average Joe Bloggs earns in a lifetime....Just how greedy do they have to be!!!
 
my point was thats its not impossible that both sides are simply playing hard ball in the negotiations, and whilst it was out of the public eye Rooney could tell united he wanted to leave everyday in the hope it would scare them into improving their offer, whilst united just sat there and thought 'Rooneys always said he'd never leave and wanted to end his career here he must be bluffing so we'll not budge' and no one on the outside was harmed

with the leaked stories this week from Rooneys people ramping up the pressure united have just gone one better with a perfectly delivered speech by the games greatest ever manager and by putting it out in the open Rooney's now got to put up or shut up. Its not impossible IMHO that he wants to stay and was merely following the advice of his money-grabbing agent by insisting he was serious about leaving in a bid to drive up his contract

Shits definately real now though, if he's genuine he may never play for us again

There is that point, but the part that gets me is how SAF said he talked to him and Rooney said he wanted to leave - if it was just him playing hard-ball to get a bigger offer surely he will look at the offer we made, according to SAF he hasnt even looked at it.

I would like to be wrong i really would but if you ask me hes nailed on to leave. But reading Rios tweets was pretty odd it appears the squad (or him) didnt know about the situation till now
 
Why the feck would we want to play someone who is adamant about leaving the club?

Well, if he was in good form, why not? Ronaldo did well till the very last match
Rooney on the other hand is not. If something, he needs games to regain form.
Can't see that happening. Expect to see a lot of Macheda, Owen, Hernandez, Berba...don't know if Diouf can come back in January..
 
I'm not sure Rooney is going to play for us anymore. What's the point? To help him regain his form so that he shines for his next club?

I should have mentioned "The above was the personal opinion of one member of the message board and may or may not represent the views of everyone who can see through the little jackbooted ogres".

Thats what some of us having been telling everybody for years. Ronaldo was the player that was our focal point of attack. Rooney happens to be a very overrated player, due to his nationality and the fact that he plays for Manchester United.
 
It's such azshame because if they saved their attacks for the real issues they'd be far more credible.

Yup, they lost all and any credibility they had a long time ago and hence are left to resort to rubbish like weve just seen, a desperate statement from a desperate bunch of pure clowns best sums them up, but even i didn't think they'd sink as low as to blame Rooneys utter contempt for the club on the Glazers especially AFTER Sir alex has already confirmed we were prepared to make Rooney the highest paid player in the country.

Just utter twats the lot of em at MUST.
 
Agent knows about prostitute dabblings.
Decides not to pay her off.
Persuades/Cajoles Wayne that he'd be happier elsewhere once the inevitable shit storm settles.
Worried but injury free Rooney plays like a twonk
 
He's been a brilliant player for United. We don't know why he wants to go. Let's just get on with it and see how it goes.

Call me really biased or not but for me there isn't a single possible and understandable reason explaining why he'd ask to leave.He's at a competitive club, earning lots of money and was loved greatly by the fans.
I don't even wanna look for excuses anymore, I'm tired of it
 
am i the only one who believes that Rooney will stay?

Seems like his heads all over the place at the moment on and off the pitch, once he gets his head straight I can see the whole thing being forgotten about in 12 months
 
He was LAST person I ever expected to want to leave United. I thought he was the finest example of the word 'loyal', clearly not.

I want to know what has really gone on behind the scenes.
 
well yeah but as i said SAF delivered a perfectly worded speech, if Rooney came out tomorrow and called it all bullshit who'd you believe

well, SAF obviously, but i mean it'd be one mans word against another and we're unlikely to ever know the full truth
 
am i the only one who believes that Rooney will stay?

I hope he doesn't now. It will only hang over the club and we'll get this every few months.

I think Rio's tweets meant that the players didn't know SAF was going to talk about it. I'm sure they knew about the situation.
 
Seriously, how is nobody considering the thought that he just wants to get the feck out of England?

Because he told the club this in August, before any of the stuff with his wife got out...

So the only reason he could have for wanting out of the country in August was getting criticised for his World Cup performances.... and if he's that fragile to want out for being told he played pretty badly in 4 games, he's a fecking liability!

...He's never been as mentally tough as Ronaldo or Beckham, who both had legitimate reasons to get out of the country after their supposed 'controversies' made them hate figures and yet they stayed...he's always been affected by criticism, and it's held him back from being in Ronaldo's bracket....Looks like it's fecked him up completely this time though.

Not sure if that's sarcasm or not. Once a blue, always a blue and shagging a prossie whilst married don't exactly spell out loyal.

He's the main man at a big club competing for top honors offered top dollars/pounds to stay.

No reason what-so-ever to leave.

I think he might stay.
I don't want him to though.
Not behaving the way a Manchester United player should.
 
I'm very sad if that's true.

Yeah, it is a tough one to get your head around. You hope it isn't, but jeez.

With his people throwing Fergie under the bus on Sunday night, then the press conference today, and obviously something being wrong for a while.

His head is just not right, and I'm not sure if it hasn't gone beyond too far now.
