If rumours are to be believed, wages of £500,000 a week have been spoken about. Chelski won't pay it, so it is down to Man City. He won't go abroad, he just about has a grasp of the english language, so learning a foreign one won't happen.

He has a problem in his head, which he needs to sort out. His form is off, so I can't see how he can justify stupid wages.

If he is leaving Man U, he is a mug, there aren't many clubs bigger in the world.

I do wonder if there is a shag anything culture at Man U and Mrs Rooney has given him the ultimatium of get away from the shag anything culture or get away from the house.

Time to split the thread.

MUFC's total wage bill is about £125M; there can't a player on £26M.

500,000 a week must (just must) be newspapers rounding up, rounding up, getting silly

Rooney on form deserves it. anyone who's watched him in the last, um, 6 months, would probably laugh at demands of 5,000 a week :)

Never liked Ferguson, but thought he gave a good balanced press conference. I sense that Rooney’s career is in danger of falling apart. He hasn’t shown any decent form for ages. Are we seeing a repeat of Gascoigne or Best?

Wages apparently offered at another club, not at Man U.

Chelsea is £172M; AC Milan is €130M; Ronaldo's rumoured €10M per year was supposed to make him Europe's highest paid player; the figures are just plain made up.

It's not just not speaking to the bbc it's not speaking to the fans who are essentially paying money (albeit indirectly) that goes to him in wages and transfer budgets.

Man United fans are fully behind his stance though.

Quite agree.

However, at 68 he is old enough to have matured, I reckon!
 

Alex Ferguson

Perhaps one of the reasons he didn't rant or rave was given the messages that had come out of Team Rooney earlier in the year he was genuinely confused by the whole thing and therefore couldn't work out whether to be angry or not

Fergie makes me sick. Thread closed

Alex the Rednose Manager doesn't talk to the BBC, so what do the BBC do, they have Football Focus at Old Trafford with guided tours and all the gubbins.

I pay my licence fee and I would not base a football program at Old Trafford for the day if their manager wasn't speaking to us. The BBC are more stupid than I thought.

Wouldn't it be better to give them as little airtime as possible? If Sir Rednose, sends out his oppo or any players to do interviews, send them back. Where possible, I would blur out MUFC logos as well.

I think their approach is not to sink to his level.
In a way it works. What rednose would love is a war of words but the Beeb are not obliging.
They retain their dignity he increasinly looks like a bitter old man.

The BBC tax is wasted as it is. I don't want publicity given to a corporation that mocks it.

The Premier League have signed an agreement that says managers should talk to the BBC. In return they get a handsome chunk of wedge, some of which goes to MUFC. If they are in breach of the contract, they shouldn't get the money and they shouldn't get the publicity.

Half of Manchester will be upset as will half of Southern England who support Man U but don't actually know where Manchester is.;)

But the great thing about the BBC is that in this world of Murdoch biased media it remains independant and pretty much unbiased, so why should it altering it's coverage of organisations and people who criticise them. Also the fact is that if you were head of sport at the BBC and blurred out the MUFC logos and referred to them as 'Team oop north' the millions of people who support Man Utd around Britain wouldn't watch the BBC.

That said if Andy Scott's son was a crooked agent and he was too arrogant to believe that any of his family could ever do anything wrong and wouldn't speak to the BBC because they'd uncovered something about his son then they might not give fair coverage to us.

They don't. It may have been when we beat Posh, the great jornos at the BBC put the score up the other way around.

Just shabby journos or unaware of leagues outside the prem?.

They gave shoddy coverage to us after Everton.

True, but I meant more that we get fair coverage in comparison with other clubs in our league. Clubs our size are never going to get proportionate coverage unless we reach the premiership...

Longest serving Man Utd manager at 24 years, 1 month, 14 days. Like him or loathe him he is a true legend of the game.
 

Alex Ferguson

Remarkable record, no doubt!

Nearly all those money-to-burn men succeed: Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger etc. How do you measure them against a manager of a Blackburn, a Sunderland or a West Brom whose clubs are practically penniless by comparison?
 

Alex Ferguson

You also have to consider his success with Aberdeen.
 

Alex Ferguson

Alex Ferguson

But will he ever speak to the BBC again?
 

Alex Ferguson

I secretly admire the guy and think he's possibly the best football manager ever. As someone above said a true legend of the game.
 

Alex Ferguson

Great Manager, lets himself down though by not talking to the BBC :nono:

Apparently Daddy has got the hump with Preston for sacking his little boy so has called back the two loan players.:rolleyes:

Sir Rednose, we all know you are a complete and utter ****, but you are not bigger than the game. Get over it.

He is well within his right to do so. Doesn't mean he's bigger than the game :shrug:

Preston look in free fall in a poor division.

He was helping his son out not Preston.

All three wanted to stay at Preston,what about their needs?
Doubt that figured in Fergie's thoughts.

That too but they wouldn't have gone to Preston if his son was not in charge.

Absolutely. Remember reading when WB was at Peterboro that he wanted to prove himself without Dad's help. Not sure what happened to that.

Agreed. "The BBC" in any case is what those who work for it make it. And those involved in Panorama could not be more different to those involved in Match of the Day, as demonstrated following the FIFA documentary.

Apparently, Sir red Nose, is refusing to speak to the media including MUTV.

The poor old git is running out of people that he will talk too.
