Behold, laud and applaud.

[Barnesy_10]

Let's wait and see.... If his marriage gets sorted and some form returns before January then things may be different...

 

Would laugh my t*** off if he goes though....

[Rimbeux]

Another one. Dont cross me sonny

[Coyler]

This whole thing about no single player being bigger than Manchester United Alex Ferguson only really worked when the side had way more than one big player.*

 

* F*ck the mockers.

[Sion]

Cheeky bid? If anyone can resurrect his career, Roy can.

[gulaman]

Ferguson only got rid off the other previous star players because they were past their best. Rooney still has his best years to come so Ferguson won't be selling him. Who does he replace him with?

[aka Dus]

Smells like a Twitter story getting legs it shouldn't but if Daniel Taylor says he has it confirmed that Rooney won't sign a contract then that is pretty big news.

Chicccccccaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttttttooooooooooooooooo.

 

 

To be fair, Ferguson might not have a choice if Rooney simply refuses to sign a new deal and buggers off on a Bosman. He'll still fetch about 30 million now.

The Mancs would probably end up pissing us off with this saga by signing Torres to replace Rooney

[Superjay]

I said in work start of the summer I fully expect him and gerrard at real by the end of the season.

[John am Rhein]

he's gone

[aka Dus]

SkySports.com blithely ignoring the whole story. Staying on Ferguson's good side, for a change.

 

BBC Sport swerving it too for now, as part of continuing efforts to get him to overturn his ban perhaps.

 

The Mirror gone large since it's their exclusive.

 

 

Fox, however, do give it a mention.... heh heh

too injury prone.

[Epic Swindle]

Rooney won't go anywhere and there's only City who could afford him.

[Bailo]

Rooney won't go anywhere and there's only City who could afford him.

Wages wise I think there are a few and if he refuses to sign a new contract he won't be going for that much.

 

Still don't buy it mind. Sounds like a dummy has been spat out and it won't take much to massage it back in.

[growler]

Would be massive. With us having new owners and their debt and squad a it is, they could really death spiral from here. What other assets do they have left? Evra at best. Scholes gigs Owen van deR Saar Neville and possibly rio and fungus himself to call it quits in the summer.

[aka Dus]

Heh heh, Ferguson getting the digs in early

 

 

 

bensmith_times Ben Smith Only two newspapers have been allowed to attend the Ferguson/Gill#mufc press conference today ...

[Cobs]

Half them weren't even running the story this morning so I doubt it. They will take Ferguson's side until such a time as it looks like it will cost him his job.

amazes me why they don't give him a panning for it - what have they got to lose? Nearly every one of them on Sunday Supplement seems to say they're banned from his press conferences. Why not make a bigger fuss? They're not going to get banned from Old Trafford, they can pick up MUTV for bolllocks Ferguson quotes to pad out their copy. it's weird.

The link to Man City is absurd. They have a far superior forward in Tevez who is on fire for them, why would they possibly risk his form by accommodating pie boy? City won't be interested.

There is logic at City?

[Tosh]

So in the space of 12 hours we are debating

 

a) the press not laying into this like the end of the world has come and speculating on what they might do post-Rooney and

b) the press not laying into Woy when this time last year our manager was already "under-pressure" and "beleagured"

 

Hhhhmmmm

The press can't lay in to Roy 'cos they'll have to admit they were wrong.

And they won't lay into Fergie ever.
