Oh sorry. Was not exactly following what those 2 were saying. Just saw it was them vs the rest

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yeah there was shit being flung everywhere and it all got a little confusing but I think that was the gist of what he was saying.Unless Rooney grovels on his knees and beg to stay, I'm afraid it is too late.
I agree. Let's shut the door and move forward.
Expected soon statements were coming out three hours ago!
You complete.... person!
Loved that.
Also loved how he varied the volume of his voice. At times he was shouting. "When a player or an agent can bully Sir Alex Ferguson."
[fecking loud]"HOW WRONG IS THAT?"[fecking loud/]
Exactly.
So we need to show the world a video of Rooney begging to be allowed back and sign the new contract
Let it go. The whole point of the Rooney (Stretford) announcement yesterday is that when people, supporters, read it, they'll say 'he's not wrong about it'. They've picked the obvious chink in Manchester United's armour. Don't buy into it.
Just scroll through a few pages of the Ronaldo thread in the classics. The hysteria and bile was worse.
Be honest guys, if they did sort this out & Rooney came back with a full apology in a press conference and he started banging them in again (goals I mean) and we won the PL & CL, we'd be creaming our pants over him again like last season.
If that doesn't happen...then feck him...he's dead to me...
I miss Ronaldo, and Ruud, and would welcome either back with open arms. Rooney just needs to realise, and admit, what a twat he has been, sack his manager and sign up Neville Neville as his new manager.

Accidents happen. Sometimes the results are minor; some accidents, such as a large oil spill, can have drastic consequences. In the wake of a serious incident, the public has a right to know what happened and what is going on to fix whatever happened. Your business's public relations department can provide the media with an initial holding statement that sets forth the basic facts about the incident and lets people know that you are dealing with the situation. The statement must be carefully written in clear and concise language
Yeah, I didn't understand the vitriol directed at Ronaldo when he left. Obviously I was immensely disappointed, as we all were, but at least he went about it the right way. Not once did he have a bad word to say about the club or Ferguson.
Rooney on the other hand....well, I'm not even going to get into it, the little shit is not worth it. Ronaldo was a better player and a better guy too, by the looks of things.
I wonder if we've received offers over the past day or so, i know this is highly unlikely but is it possible that this statement will basically be saying where and when Rooney will be leaving?
Oh. Thanks for that
For all of our sanities, I hope so
Yes, Rooney's agent has done his homework and picked the best statement in terms of exposing the management. Whatever the motive, it will be our discussion point right after Rooney leaves. This we can't hide from. I can already see hundreds of threads spawning about this as soon as Rooney is confirmed to be sold.
it's a shame we can't sell him to Scunthorpe or somewhere
According to Fergie's interview, it seems Ruud was the one who didn't want to play with Ronaldo and Rooney 6 years ago.
As far as I'm concerned, Ruud and Rooney fall into the same ungrateful category.
Stockport County could use some help...
Oh. Thanks for that
In essence the holding statement is going to tell us exactly what we already know.
There has been a contract offer, Rooney has decided that he'll not renew. The door is open if he wants to restart contract talks, otherwise Manchester United will move on. Expect a deal will be made for a sale in January as this is the last time we'll get value for him. Though from Rooney's perspective any contract offered to him in January would be something he might choose to turn down. It'll be more lucrative for him if he waits to be a free agent.
Really?
Nah Ruud was not as bad. And atleast he had a reason to want to leave. He'd been carrying a rubbish team for so long and he was nearing 30 so it's atleast understandable he would want to leave.
Rooney's could have been the top earner in a winning team and he's yet just 24. Rooney's far worse than Ruud. Ruud is a legend
DiscoMirror #MUFC Unlikely to reach decipsion on #Rooney tonight.
Expect a 'holding' statement to be released within hour. Saga looks to be prolonged.
Take my word for it, Rooney is on his way to Liverpool. I know because I heard Roy Hodgson saying "Looks like Wayne's coming". I didn't hear any more because it started pissing down and I had to run for cover.

He didn't say exactly who 'the player' is but it is possible it was Ruud. If it wasn't, then my apologies...
What have you got against Scunthorpe ?
Thanks Sickipedia.
Can't see anything happening now
Didn't find this on "DiscoMirror's" twitter
He blocked me! Total idiot spastic he is. All I did was give some constructive criticism!
Seriously, how long does it take to release a statement? Unless they're negotiating with Rooney or another club, there's no other option than admitting he's most likely going to be sold in January whilst we continue to move onwards and upwards.
Yeah just checked. He's taken it down now apparently. Why on earth would he do that
Maybe because there might be a decision tonight.
OliverKayTimes It seems Man Utd can't "nip this in the bud" tonight. If
statement re Rooney tonight, it will be a "holding" statement (via @DiscoMirror)
Wouldn't it be great if we held Rooney to his contract, and let him rot for the best part of two seasons? Football needs a club to take this kind of stand against a wantaway player, it has done for years.
Of course it won't happen. It'll cost us £40m in lost transfer fees and salaries. Great fantasy to have though. It might set a wonderful precedent that would change football for the better.

The difference is how they took their words in thought, and timing.
Ronaldo always made his strongest points when its was either summer, or nearing summer transfer market, where it gave the club some time to think about it.
As for Rooney, 'Why now?' replies in the thread is all that's needed to explain.
Another thing is the form of the players. SAF protected both players, and whenever Ronaldo played despited wanting to move, he still bagged goals and still showed class. Rooney? He's been on shit form since World Cup. Ronaldo (as the main spot) got us to two Champions League finals. Rooney, when it was his turn to shine, gave us 2nd place spot in the Premiership, and a knockout against Bayern. Both have earned sliverwares alike, but who made the bigger impact? Ronaldo did.
Third matter comes with their attitudes. Ronaldo was never the one to go around and say "I'll stay in United as long as they want me" et al. Rooney did that, and now wants to transfer. Remember how Ronaldo made some outrageous comments on the first year he wanted to leave? It drove us mad, but if my memory serves me right, he did take his words back and apologized. Rooney, currently doesn't seem to show any signs of that. Not only that, Ronaldo gave time to both club and himself to sort things out, and guess what? He listened to SAF and decided to stay for one more year.
Fourth matter is their history with previous clubs. Ronaldo showed awful lot of respect towards Sporting, and left the club in a very good way. Rooney did not. His ex-club Everton, hate his guts. As someone said earlier, not leaving itself, but how he left. Rooney left traces of disloyalty in the past, and repeating leaves football fans (mainly MU fans) dumbfounded.
Fifth matter is real important. Rooney decides to say "Our team sucks". Who would be happy to say that? I mean, yes we were disappointed when the transfer window closed for not buying big targest, but he should realize that the team -while underperforming- is definitely not 'shit'. Ronaldo to my memory has not said anything as absurd as that.
Sixth matter. Scandal. I don't think I need to go any further in this subject.
To sum it up, it's natural the fans miss Ronaldo, and to be enraged with Rooney.
What a great post that was.
So now people trust a guy that calls himself DiscoMirror?
Well to be honest most of his tweets have been accurate till now.
