The rags wouldn't be spineless enough to let a player let their club and supporters down? Have you been on a desert island these past 15 months? Rooney publicly criticised the manager and the club, accused them of lacking ambition, demanded a transfer and totally humiliated the club in the process.
Baconface washed his hands off him the following day, the rags support protested publicly at his behaviour, every messageboard and phone-in was full of how much they hated him and would never be forgiven. There were banners at the next match accusing Rooney of being a whore.
Like a sheep convention, they all bellowed the same mantra... Fergie wouldn't stand for it.
Two days later Rooney signed a new contract, Fergie hugged him, the fans welcomed him back like a returning hero... and all talk of him being a whore never happened.
As they picked up the Premiership trophy, his name was chanted with much joy.
And you think City should pass up on success just because a player acts like an arsehole?
Welcome to the real world.
There's a difference between handing in a transfer request and refusing to play. Have you never handed in your notice at work if you're not happy with the company you're working for or do you go in, sit there and refuse to do your job? The second is gross misconduct and you're fired for being a ****. This is the real world.
Ah, so you're changing your argument now!
Before it was "No one would get away with what Tevez has done..." now it's... "he only asked for a transfer".
FFS.
Rooney publicly humiliated the rags far more than Tevez did. He accused them of lacking ambition! That's just about the worst thing you could say about that mob!
And one final point, you keep mentioneing "refusing to play".
Where are you getting this info from? If I remember correctly, he was found not guilty of refusing to play.
Or were you still on that desert island at the time?

You can't compare Rooney with Tevez.
What Rooney did was (with some justification) question the rags signings and ambitions.
Tevez did the one thing I never thought I'd a City player do -
refuse to play. And in front of the worlds media.
He's a ****. He lies about us, he slags our club and our city off and he refuses to play for us. He's dragged our name through the mud.
I'll lose a lot of respect for City, and the owners if this vile little shit is allowed to play for us again, and I really don't give a shite if we lose out on the League as a direct result of it - although we've ok so far without the prick.
We've waited long enough to win it, another year won't bother me.
Evidence?
Or are you just making this up to suit your agenda?
