You can't take any warning from the Rags - Fergie was narrowminded
And some.
But the thing that absolutely beggars belief is Shrek. He demanded (and was given) £300k a week, but his bolt was shot years ago. In fact I cannot honestly remember when I last saw him have a decent game. He looks disinterested most of the time, and seems to only want to turn up against the relegation fodder - always goes missing against the good teams.
Physically I think he's in poor shape, the fact he had to go out and get some extra training before the world cup started is somewhat telling. He's lost a bit of weight, but for £300k a week the very least he could do was lose some body fat. It also appears he's a smoker - and he's a professional athlete!!
The rags have kow-towed to Shrek's every whim since he first held them to ransom, and like the spineless wankers they truly are they've been doing it ever since.
Long may it continue.
I think that rooney's role at that club is actually less to do with football and more to do with commercial
exploitation .
He seems to be pretty much the most marketable commodity they have when you consider the collection of personality free , mediocrities that inhabit the swamp.
Every business needs a recognisable image , and since the departure of GPC and the current shortage of trophies ,they are left fairly much with shrek - certainly no Beckham!
They have invested hugely in him as the "face"( again no Beckham) of the club ( seen all over the Far East with noodles,fizzy drinks etc in his mitts) and the fact that he can bend them over and shaft them royally seems to bear this out - it's surely not because of his breathtaking form on the pitch.
