United 2016/17

[Machiavelli]

I think the footage of him with Ed Sheeran was far more damaging. He's always liked a drink and a ciggy, I'm not sure why folk are surprised by that aspect of the story. I'm surprised by his lack of self awareness. Get pissed by all means but do it out of the glare of the photo morons with camera phones if you want to keep the illusion of Rooney going.

I see the rag PR machine have subbed out "over-hyped" for "top quality" and "sell replica shirts" for "challenge for trophies".

The problem is it's a slippery slope. One day your just having a pint after a game the next you're buying your mum a house with a sink.

Surely he'll never be that obscene.

Shreks PR team working overtime today. All his favourite journos have been whipped into line spouting their prepared pieces to 5live/talkshite etc.

I do wonder if we have any truly independent football jurnolists anymore.

Could have been worse. He could have tried to bring the ball out of defence instead of just hoofing it upfield.

The whole thing stinks. If Pisscan had still been there there's not a fucking chance in Hell this story would have surfaced. Instead we'd have had doctored footage of the **** dressed as Santa Clause handing out presents in the kiddies ward at the nearest hospital.

This is all the work of that malingering, despotic bastard, GPC.

Heard a bit of Talksport this morning and it was why did the FA let this happen and not why did the england and rag captain get pissed

Pretty sure that's not what the rags are saying.they are saying £20 m drop spread out over 10 year deal so about £4m next year and £2m the following 9 years

 

[Gray]

Is it just me, or am I right in thinking that on the money these twats are on, they should abstain from drugs, alcohol, smoking and extra-marital sex for the whole of their professional careers?

£4m + £18m = £20m?

 

[andyhinch]

£4m + £18m = £20m?

Probably in rag land it does

 

[MillionMilesAway]

£4m + £18m = £20m?

I guess at least one year will have gone, so it's 4M, plus 8x2M.

 

[Ballet On Ice]

I know you are in Landan, but please write out 1000 times in your best handwriting:

THE RAGS PLAY IN STRETFORD.

It's like saying Cockernees come from west Landan.

Don’t want to appear picky but if you can find a local rag who “hasn’t now fallen out of love with football”

They will tell you that they haven’t played in Trafford for about three years now ;-)

 

[maccadon]

I was at a stereophonics gig a few years back n rughead was in attendance.was well oiled by end of the show and had drink all down his hoody.

So not first time for wazza doing a gazza.

Yeah a year has gone already,and they are saying its 30% of £75m

Tbf the married ones should abstain from extra marital sex for the duration of their marriages, being a professional footballer doesn't entitle you to be a scummy back stabbing twat.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

It's still a pretty big difference between

20M
and
20M/year

It might be that the drop is spread over the rest of the contract, rather than a stepchange. TBH, I don't care that much about 20M, they can keep it if they miss the CL again!
