2) Rooney is now bigger than the Rags - takes the piss out of the club, players and rag fans, upsets the manager so he is in tears, in the past he would have been out of the door, now even though everything done in full glare of press signs a new deal.
Good post mate. The second point is the conclusion that I've drawn most. Rooney held the rags to ransom. He and his medja circus are bigger than the club he plays for and his supposedly oh so massive club had to back down. That's what I feared for us. Robinho syndrome on acid. Our club remains bigger than any of its constituent parts (big as some of them are).
A bullet narrowly avoided imo.
