Can someone please spell out the specifics of your objections to this prospect? Because the fact that he plays for the rags is neither here nor there, is it? Why is it relevant?

its a risk and i have my doubts about is attitute and fitness. with the ffp rules coming in rooney could be a huge boost to our turnover. shirt sales,marketing etc. garry cook would be in his element. if we could get him for a reasonable price and get him scoring again then the risk would reap rewards. from a fan perspective it could be hard for a few to swallow but from a business angle it would be a masterstroke.
the key point here is that we must boost our turnover and buying rooney would do that.
I get the impression it's an image rights thing. We were talking to Twatini and his minions a couple of weeks ago to thrash out exactly what we can and can't get away with. I'm pretty certain we've had some sort of a green light coming out of that meeting and there have been anecdotal rumours since that City think they can get around the main hurdles.
