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.
We hope so. Or both party's are gonna resemble fools more than ever before.
Ferdinand did something similar, but won over most of the fans over with great performances, although some still dont forgive him, he's one of my favourite players and he's matured as a person. He was around the same age as Rooney when it happened, too.
If Rooney scores 100 goals over the next 4-5 years this will be forgiven, although not forgotten, its that simple. No doubt Ferdinand will have a word in his ear about this as well.

My view of him has been permanently tainted.
He's no longer the leader of our team for me.

Nah I don't think he'll go now.
I think he must have been genuinely shocked by the media backlash and the reaction of fans, teammates, players and managers all over.
I mean sure he must have expected some hate but the backlash was huge. Can see him staying now though.
I can imagine what the next big contract negotiation ploy will be now. He has sent a precedence which others will just follow.
I never thought I'd say this Fred but I couldn't agree more. What an absolute shambles, re-negotiations with other high profile players will prove interesting, especially when they see to what extent they can go to bully the club into better terms. It sets an awful example.
That
fecking drama queen, you know feck all about the deal and the demands.
If Rooney has a poor season, I can still see him leaving in the summer.
Weaste, I'm pretty sure Keane bagged out his team mates publicly.
I can't see where we "bowed down" to him.
On any perspective you look at, signing him for a longer deal ensures we have more bargaining power when we try to trade him,
Eliminates uncertainty over his Bosman/buy out move
Ensures we still have the star vehicle to attract players and finally not letting our rivals have him.
Either way we stand to gain.
Yes but who is he to question SAF's transfer dealings? We actually had to convince the lad to stay by assuring him of our future ambition? feck off.
i think the biggest difference between Rooney and keane is the way the case was reported to the press including SAF's initial reaction and Rooney's camp stupid statement where he said he wants to go to an ambitious club.
I still think his first-touch is wank.
fecking hell.Mourinho predicted everything perfectly, he knew everything was a stunt to increase his wages.
He can feck off, the selfish greedy fecking cnut.Unbelievable that after all this the club will sign offer him a contract.What will happen next year ? The same sort of bullshit to increase his wages again ?
I feel disgusted
Yeah. He's really embarrassed himself here. Acted like a total cnut. Nonetheless, this is great news for the club. Apart from anything else he's obviously been given some reassurances about the future, one of which will have to bee Fergie staying for another season after this one. Huzzah!

feck him. He's dead to me now!
I'll hope he does well. But I will never idolize him the way I did before.
.......
Not over a contract.
Since when did Sir Alex Ferguson do 'bowing down'?
fecks sake.
fecks sake.
It doesn't mean that he's going to stay, but it does mean that he has done the right thing and at least allowed the club to deal with his sale from a strong position.
He didnt give a timeline. He didnt say "yet", nor did he say "ever". Thats not my point anyway. My point is by doing this in public, hes fecked off a lot fans, ruined his image and questioned his team-mates drive/ambition etc.
As I said his concerns are ok cos we all have these concerns. the problem is doing it in public
This could work in our favour though and im sure w ewill be able to pull a spin on this.
The one thing is though Ferguson is the master. He has played this so well, got the whole football world on his side and hopefully it serves as a way to unite fans around the club. Hopefully.
It's got to be about more than just an extra 20k. I reckon they've promised a big name signing or two in the summer, maybe even january. Maybe this is Rooney testing his power over the club. Maybe he just felt a little unloved. I don't believe even he would be stupid enough to create all this just for 20k a week.
Aye, can't imagine he got a better salary than already was on offer.
so what happens if we don't win anything then..
if Fergie is happy then I'm happy too.

Was this today?
If he was only interested in massive wages he would have gone to City. They could easily trump whatever united offered him and throw in several million quid as a signing on fee as well.
He was being sarcastic...Keane also held out until the last minute for a contract.
wanted a week off from liverpool in the headlines
Hehe what a fkin weirdo...
Why couldn't ANY of this be handled behind closed doors is the question a lot of United fans should be asking.

What you mean Mourinho predicted it correctly? Quotes?
