The fact he was twisting his face saying the club has no ambition and not enough big name players to challange for titles he then goes at takes a massive amount of the transfer kitty on his wages. Ferguson took a hit there, no player is bigger than the club, I guess they are now. Looking forward to the January transfer window.
 
As I said in a previous post, I couldn't give a monkeys about him or his vile team, but I fear that a precedent has been set that could rock football almost as much as the Bosman ruling did. Back in the day, NONE of the great managers - I'm talking Shankly, Paisley, Clough, Busby, Revie et al - would have taken this. Their mantra always was "no-one is bigger than the club". Players tried to work their ticket and were quickly put back in their box and sold on. As much as I hate Ferguson, I did begrudgingly believe that he was also of this same ilk - see Beckham, Ronaldo among others. Rooney has truly bent him over and 5hagged him up the bottom and has proven that he is indeed bigger than his club.

A precedent surely has been set now. Other top players are bound to start trying it on with their clubs and show that they are indeed the biggest, NOT their clubs or their managers. This will start pushing wages stupidly high, which will in turn push transfer fees stupidly high, the price of which will in turn be passed to the fans in higher ticket prices. It could also see the demise of several clubs, not all of them small either. Portsmouth should be seen as a warning to everyone

Rooney has changed football as we know it into this unrecognisable beast - it is not a change for the better.

Give over. Players have been doing this at smaller clubs for years. Fact. Only difference is that this time it's happened at utd it's big news. You say you couldn't give a monkeys but come across as very interested in this 'vile' club. Always find it interesting to see fans of other premiership clubs spending so much attention on a club they claim to not care about. With the posts and obvious time spent considering thier issues you clearly do care. Face it you are only bothered because it's utd. I look forward to your 'I couldn't care less' replies. Don't spend time commenting on something then claim to not be interested. Anyway up the argyle. Hope we beat Huddersfield today. Need the points.

No I'm not interested in Man Utd at all mate. I am a concerned fan of FOOTBALL. It would be the same if it was Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, etc. Precedents will no doubt be set that are going to damage our game.

Up the Argyle? Yes, RIGHT up your Argyle....

How can you say you despise something one minute and then claim to have no interest in it. Strong emotive comments followed up by claims of apathy. You seem very confused... up the argyle :)
