Ferguson and United are f*cking sanctamnious hypocritical b*stards. Here he is blaming Rooney and Rooneys agent. Saying things like;
He said he wanted to stay for life. We were honouring that request from Wayne to stay at the club, at the club he loved. He said the best thing he'd ever done was to sign for Manchester United. So David was prepared, with the discussions with our owners, to offer Wayne the best contract that anyone could have in the country.
and;
There is a disappointment a lot of the time when you have to deal with modern-day players. It's not as easy as it was many, many years ago when you were negotiating a contract because then the player had to depend and trust on the manager he worked for. And as a manager, you had more contact with the parents then as well. Yesterday I said to Edwin who made that mistake on Saturday, 'Well, how are you feeling?' He said the first phone call he'd received was from his father. I said, 'Well listen to him, he's the one you should listen to.' But that's gone now. We're dealing with agents who live in the pockets of players. We live in a different world now and we have to deal with it in a different way. It's a pity but it's there and we have to deal with it.
Bullshit. Rooney loved Everton but it was ok for football agents and man united to tap him up on the sly and turn his head. It was also ok for sir alex and Rooney to make sure we got robbed in that deal (26m was always a travesty) by getting him to tell us either take the money or he'll walk in 2 years. Dont remember Sir Alex bemoaning modern agents and players greed back then when he was crapping all over Everton. And all that [Poor language removed] about Rooney loving united - [Poor language removed] off, you made a deal with the devil and now your getting your fingers burnt. I hope he never scores another goal for you before walking away for nothing. About what United deserve.
