so it doesn' t matter if you have the morals of a sewer rat as long as you are a top sportsman, nice example for the young lads, no wonder the games are corrupt.

Man Utd and Ferguson humiliated and held hostage by a player. What next?

Wonder if his ankle injury has magically cleared up allowing him to play against Stoke City.

Depends if he wants to play or not, as Rooney now has control over Man Utd. Next thing all his mates will be playing, and the Grans. Originally Posted by HibbyAndy

Only Alex Ferguson could have pulled this off.
His whole approach during the week was designed to tug at Rooney's conscience.
He's a clever man. Softly, softly or tough as nails as necessary.
Anyone who thinks Rooney "won" or somehow has come out of this stronger, is way off the mark.

What a joke. Frankly I'd still sell him off in January anyway. This could all, and indeed, should have, been conducted in private.

the owners that he will still be able to buy world class players

Yip, when was the last time they broke the world transfer record? Is this not what the biggest club in the world do anymore? Or is it because they dont have that type of money anymore? I had a sneaking feeling they might hold on to Shrek, it would have been a complete nightmare to have lost him. And sent out another message they cant compete.

Sets a very dangerous example. How many players will now start holding their clubs at ransom like this. I know it goes on but never like this. Rooney obviously holds the power.

Like many Man United fans though I cannot blank out the last few days. I am happy that he is staying but he needs to win back friends after this.
Hopefully we see some action from the owners now. Not sure that will happen though.

When did they ever break the world record? Are Real Madrid the biggest club in the world because they spend all that money on Galatico's or will that mantle soon fall to Man City. Originally Posted by blackpoolhibs

I think people need to remember that Ronaldo signed a 5 year deal 6 months before he was sold to Real. This might just be a way of united making sure they get top dollar for him at the end of the season.

You just need to consider the sheer "middle of the road" quality of the players they've signed in recent times (respective of the level they're playing at). Originally Posted by blackpoolhibs

Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez, Fabio, Rafael, Michael Owen, Owen Hargreaves, Berbatov... I'm well aware Berbatov has improved in recent times, but he's certainly not world class caliber.
Granted, players like Nani and Valencia buck the trend a little, but they're still far from global household names in the footballing world.
It says a lot to me about these quality of signings when players such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville are STILL central to the successes of the club (which is no slight on these players who have been superb footballers and brilliant servants to the club over the years).
The biggest clubs in the world will always attract top players to their clubs - that's no longer the case for Man United.Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.
