Wazza Matter With Rooney

First off, apologies for my extended absence.

I was (a) right busy and then (b) sick as a dog.

You know what the first cold spell can do to a lad, even one as cold-proof as a Teessider. A few beers, a vending-machine's worth of fags, a cap-sleeved T-shirt and a night so frosty you almost expected some fey FA official to come and tell you that walking on the pavements had been banned, and wham!

One bacterium said it's back to mine and before you know it there were trillions of them barricaded me nostrils and rioting like Frenchmen on the back of me throat.

To be fair I was also hiding under the duvet during the speech by the Eton Axe-man . Comprehensive spending review? Not one of them feckers went to a bleeding comprehensive!

Here comes the night nurse and she's sneezing terribly

I've been propped in front of the box these days getting back up to speed with Countdown and Noel Edmonds's terrific telly programme which from what I've seen is called 'Are you a fuckwit?' (as in the banker's offered you 12 grand and you say 'Gimme the question, Noel' and the cheesy 80s throwback says 'Are you a Fuckwit?')

In the meantime the Theatre of Dreams has thrown up some top-quality drama. There's been a lot of bullshit from both sides but here's my opinion of the main players:

Fergie

His performance in that press conference was so beautifully-pitched, wasn't it. He looked like a mouldering red plum dangling from a tree. And he looked his age.

I thought at one point, as he wrestled with the reasons why Wayne Iscariot had said he was off, a nurse was going to pop in with a couple of pills and a wheelchair and trundle him off to a corner where he could watch ‘Are You A Fuckwit?’.

He must be reaching the end of his tether now. He’s done his best for Rooney, that’s clear, but the opportunistic and graceless little shit has had enough but then that’s football agents for you.

It looks as though Fergie’s desire for a last hurrah is not even going to be a last harrumph. Mrs. Fergie’ll be steeling herself. Yer man’s coming hame.

Wayne Rooney.

Right. I’ll try and sum up the Hairy Numbskull in what might be interpreted as a rap.

Young Scouse bruiser,
call-girl-user,
bit-of-a-boozer,
baby-producer
fan-boo-abuser,
well-short-fuser,
rotten loser,
Once a blueser, always a blueser,
Him confuser,
No excuser,
Man U accuser.
(Fergie where’s your troosers!)
Agent’s a schmoozer,
In a Landcruiser
Eastlands enthuser,
Front-page newser
He’s a sky-blueser
Fand-Abu-Dhabi-doozer.


Or to put it another way, there’s a former vacuum-salesman and unreliable witness who is well keen that you get that £10 million a year contract while you still can. Let’s face it £90 grand a week’s bog-all.

Course it’s a good idea to put out a statement saying how much you worship the Govan beetroot and the grand traditions of the club, but how you are disappointed that all the players you play with are shit.

'Ermm... surgeon sez he's gonna 'ave to keep the pot on til January'

Good to time to have an ankle injury, Wazza. Can’t see any of the first-teamers having the usual crafty fag and piss up against the bin with you after the next training session.

Fair enough the lad shouldered the club very well last season but Fergie’d be mad to fight to keep him now. Let him go to the end of the nearest rainbow.

The United fans

Well bless em, like a man caught between a piss and an orgasm they don’t know if they’re coming or going. There’s the ‘Sod Of Judas’ Brigade, who think Rooney has shown about as much loyalty the Theatre of Dreams as... as.. well as he showed for the School of Science.

I’m not quite sure why loyalty is expected from fans of a club that routinely lure talent from others without too many scruples. United are big, famous and successful. Should that make a player more likely to keep allegiance with them than, say, Scunthorpe United? No.

I’ve heard people compare him to Giggs, Scholes and Neville but them lads are United through and through. Rooney isn’t. Never was.

We could throw back the United/Big Club line when a transfer of some magnitude goes through: Rooney is simply looking to better himself and go to a club where he has a better chance of winning trophies. Seems reasonable all of a sudden.

The other faction at United are the ones in the Norwich scarves. As well as being big fans of Delia Smith, they really bloody loathe the Glazers.

Out with the Glazers! You 'orrible lot!


And who could blame them? Big Malcolm Glazer looks like he’s walked off the set of Witness. And he’s loaded that club with the kind of debt that might make Tom Hicks shake his head and mutter darkly about bad financial practice.’

This faction seems to have mistaken Wazza’s naked self-interest as a sign that he is their prophet. Now I’m all in favour of Glazer scurrying back into the land where reason sleeps, but Rooney’s departure, no matter what his agent writes out in neat for him, has got very little to do with who’s owning MUFC.

Nevertheless it’s true that United cannot currently compete with the very big boys on the European club scene. And you know what? Good.

There’s been a lot of talk about fairness this week. You know - sharing the pain around a bit. (By the way Mr. Cameron, a small suggestion regarding social housing – can we move into one of yours, mate?) But Man U taking comfort from a decent run in the Carling Cup for a couple of decades? That seems fair.

I don’t reckon much to Rooney’s behaviour full-stop. But I reckon United’s injured party routine is just a tad, well, incredible. You should be grateful – it’s not like you don’t need the money.

  5. Robbo, a very fine blog. Had me chuckling all the way through.

    I will most probably look a right plum in the days/weeks to come for saying this, but i now think he will stay. Dont know if that is a good thing or not.

    As for those wanting us to go in to decline, well i felt exactly the same about liverpool in the 80's and that happened, so i know where you are coming from. In a weird way i think it might be a good thing for us if we do have a spell struggling. I have always thought it makes yer next success that much sweeter, even if it takes us loads of years. Success can make you a spoilt twat - i was just a twat during the 80's.

  14. good 'un Robbo, though i wish my 3 year-old hadn't decided to have a peek just as i was scrolling down to find two giant slapheads under that nice lady's chin!

    reckon you hit on all the main points, especially the shadenfreude bit at the end ;]

    i do wish a Giggs or a Scholes would break character and call out Shrek for the spoilt, ugly ingrate that he is... Wazza's clearly taken a dump on a couple of the Premiership's most class legends, wittingly or, more plausibly, not.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I just watched the Holloway rant... I like the man but I am not sure what he was on about so I am not sure whether I agree with him or not... one time he is saying what a magnificent man Ferguson is (what that has to do with the Bosman ruling I am not sure) then he's on about they had it right... when a player ran out his contract he could walk out for free... then it's something about turning 24... buggered if I know.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Anyway I am away... I've had enough of these disjointed chats for the day.

  17. good stuff Robbo. They'd best keep him in that knee high boot for a couple of months, maximize returns while the market remembers the good days and run to the bank (or the money lender). He's been crap for 6 months.

    I hope there's a trouser press in that motel room.

  20. Jebus. Rooney's team mates not good enough? Maybe he should watch some dvds of himself while he's resting up... he's been shite for Utd since March and was England's worst player in SA - which is some achievement.

  21. Wayne Rooney was visited at his home in Cheshire last night by militant Manchester United fans who carried a banner that read "Join City and you will die" – the latest twist in the saga that has followed the player's shock decision not to sign a new contract at the club.

    __________

    Just who the fuck do they think they are?

    Do they 'own' him? Hell no.

    I blame the right frank Mr. Ian Holloway for this.
    He's a top man but I think two months in the premier league and he's lost his marbles completely.

    As I said on the previous blog, clubs dont own players like you own a house.

    Its like a lease. A binding contract for its duration but both parties are free to leave at the end of it.

    Wayne Rooney was visited at his home in Cheshire last night by militant Manchester United fans who carried a banner that read "Join City and you will die"

    I can understand the fans anger,but Rooney is obviously out there looking for the most cash he can get(as once his career is over he's hardly likely to present The Moral Maze on Radio 4)and City could be the next big team.

    He is fairly typical of the modern footballer.I think this all goes back to Pierre Van Hooijdonk and his strike.Once he got away with it,with the likely help of his agent,footballers have been able to hold clubs to ransom.

  23. spits the other moronic thing about olloways statement is he bames fifa without understanding that the Bosman ruling was a european legl statement aout restraint of trade, free mmobility of labour etc.

    ive said before i think people mistake his rambling gibberish for wit

    ReplyDelete
  24. Morning jacks,

    I think the modern fans' understanding of the term 'loyalty' is flawed.

    When fans demand the club sign a world class player, where do they think he'll be coming from?

    These football players are just like any other employee. They are right to look out for their best interest, just like a club is well right ot look after their best interest by shipping out/buying replacement for an under-performing or cash-able asset.
    The sooner we, the fans, understand it, the better.


    MANU's indignation stems from not being able to capitalize on their 25 mil investment.

    They didt seem too bothered by the 80 mil they got from the ones fergie pledged never to sell a virus to.

    course there are player-club relations, just like many employee-employer relations that are built on a longer, shared development and growth process, where both parties exhibit trust and preserve mutual interests that go on for years.

    They are rare but they are there.

    ReplyDelete
  25. anyway, see you guys later.

    I have recently terminated my previous contract and signed for a competitor, taking a lot of business with me.

    Money didnt play a role.

  26. Morning Spits and Blogidy

    Following the team that I do,I'm quite used to our promising youngsters being bought by the bigger clubs.It used to be the way of the world(Ian Rush for £300k from Chester for example).The advent of the agent and highly inflated wages mean players are bound to follow the money.Tapping up has always gone on,and probably always will.A combination of the two means this sort of thing will be a regular occurrence.

    As you say fans need to get used to this.Tevez being called all the names under the sun for signing up for Man City when he was only on loan at Un**ed?He's only doing what they all do.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i agree with robbo that mn u cant really complain. particularly with the glazer scum in charge naked selfinterest is the clubs founding principle. if the owners have their snouts in the trough, why shouldnt the players, shitbags all

    BUT theres that old idea of loyalty to team, club, without which you cant really have the passion, team spirit, sense of collective identity to actually win anything. theres the tension. personal greed, for money, selfpromotion, glory, sits ill within a collective

    like the Men in Black scrotes i personally find rooneys statement about ambition etc unbelievable. it comes too soon after the thick chav screws whores shock horror stories and is so finessed that NOONE (plymouth) believes he actually wrote it or thought it up

    real reasons i guess:
    peronal but mainly agents greed, shame (if he worked where i work he'd have the piss taken out of him 24/7), anger with fergies attempts to be dad (the number one reason anyone leaves any job is problems with their line manager), need for new challenge

    so rooney should drop the insulting they dont match my ambitions/quality because at the moment he's their worst player

    wayne rooney agents puppet the amoral distilled ginger essence of jeremykyleness, everything that is wrong with everything everywhere

    Wayne Rooney remains as patriotic as ever and insists he would never consider turning his back on the England team.

    because after all we're saying lets face it folks england needs this guy. he has the potential to be our best player and when all this settles down i will love wayne rooney and change all my kids (wherever they may be)names to wayne by deed poll if he helps us to win a fookin tournamnent

  33. Rooney's agent is a real scrote.Not quite in the Pini Zahavi/Kia Joorabchian stakes but not far off.

    http://www.balls.ie/2010/10/20/getting-to-know-paul-stretford/

    Unfortunately for football in general these idiots are the ones making the decisions.It's worked for Un**ed,now it's working against them.

    Call me naive,but what is the point of the PFA?Surely it's not too difficult for FIFA/FA/Premier League to rule that all transfer and contract negotiations are undertaken by the PFA.

    Trotts and tone will be able to put more flesh on these bones,but I'm fairly sure in US sports it's the case that agents do deals for their clients with Nike etc, but contacts etc are done by the relevant sports governing body(happy to be corrected on that)and again I think the player has to pay the agent out of his own pocket.Not like Leeds,for example,getting less than 50% of the transfer fee for Harry Kewell with the rest going to his agent.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Spitfire said "They didn't seem too bothered by the 80 mil they got from the ones fergie pledged never to sell a virus to."

    I never really understood that Fergie comment because surely if he didn't like them he would sell them a virus.

  36. Pinched from Dan Walker's blog....

    The Rooney situation reminds me of a Benny Hill sketch that I saw years ago:-

    In the sketch Benny was in a bar. He approaches a pretty girl and says:-

    "I'm an eccentric millionaire, and I'll pay you a million pounds if you'll sleep with me tonight." She agrees, then he says:-

    "Actually, I'm not a millionaire, but I'll pay you a tenner." Outraged she says:-

    "What sort of a girl do you think I am?" To which he replies:-

    "We've established what sort of a girl you are, We're just haggling over the price."


    We established what sort of a girl Rooney was when he left Everton....

  47. Morning all. So according to the gossip pages on the BBC Sport website Rooney has changed his mind and wants to stay at Man U. I hope Giggs and Scholes tell him to F off. Evra has already put the boot in and told him he should never play for them again. Let's hope a few more follow suit. I'd love to see him go to Man City and then for Man U to win the league and Champions League double. They could take the open top bus right past his house to show him the trophies he didn't win.

    ReplyDelete
  48. mornin Lads, agents/players do the deals with the clubs and sponsors but the governing body has to ratify it which they almost always do. Recent exception would be a NJ Devils Hockey player who signed a contract for 100 million + over 17 years. The league refused to accept it due to the excessive length ( once met a girl with similar objections). Yes, the agents fees are paid by the players.

  72. Without wishing to play devil's advocate....

    A footballer's contract isn't worth the paper it's been printed on.Is it possible that Rooney has been advised he'll get a better deal doing this?

    Has he been promised,like it was alleged with Ronaldo,that one more season to overtake Liverpool's 18 titles and you can go?

    Has he realised his agent has been spouting shite in his ear?

  73. Well Robbo. A funny blog as usual, but sadly from my perspective as a Liverpool Fan, blown out the water by Rooney's handbrake turn to sign a new 5 yr deal today.
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/9118602.stm

    Maybe the end isn't as nigh for UtD as many hoped, but that debt is still going to impinge on their ability to sign the world's best. Rooney might just have to accept playing alongside inferior players for a few years yet. I don't believe there is an £80m transfer kitty waiting for Fergie to find 'value' he would have spent a good proportion of it in the summer. Scholes, Giggs, Neville and Van Der Sar are nearing the end of their illustrious careers and the replacement don't look in their class yet.
    Hopefully the sahemful intimidating protests outside his house will stop now!!

    Well may be it was those nice men in black, wearing balaclavas (possibly delivering the boxes of Milk tray at his house) that persuaded the mercenary two-faced scouse scumbag to change his mind.

    On plus side, it does mean that he won't be coming to Chelsea.

    Good to have you back Robbo - nto so sure about choice of photo but ....

  85. It's coming up to my favourite time of year. I love Xmas. The look of amazement and wonder on the faces of the little children as they wrap up against the cold. Their little noses pressed up against the glass amazed at the treats laid out on the table, it's legs groaning under the weight of all the food. And I always say the same thing to them every year.............

  93. He's got one helluva team. I am expecting beating of lifetime.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I’m not quite sure why loyalty is expected from fans of a club that routinely lure talent from others without too many scruples. United are big, famous and successful. Should that make a player more likely to keep allegiance with them than, say, Scunthorpe United? No.

    spot on robbo
    i still think he s not that good, he had a really good season last year but there are lots of better players out there
    he just signed a new contract for 5 years, so all the trouble was over money i guess, how can you be proud about such a player in your team?

  95. Rooney staying - brilliant - hopefully I can regain to spot this week although not convinced

  135. Spits, that article has made me almost as angry as I get listening to the lobotomised multitude who have enough time to call Jeremy Vine in the middle of the day. Biffer and Twinkles (or whatever our Etonian overlords are called) could have saved a library and abolished student fees with that kind of cash

    ReplyDelete
  136. Lads, after several weeks of not posting here and not really being able to figure out why I couldn't be arsed any more I think I have found the answer.

    I accidentally discovered the new BBC blog and seen what you did to it and to be perfectly honest in my opinion you have just succeeded in making yourselves out to look like a bunch of children.

    Robbo got canned from the Beeb which none of us were happy about but then he does this blog which is exactly the same so what is the big problem? I know, I know the Beeb shouldn't have done it etc, but they did, Robbo seemed to accept it, why can't you lot?

    You are still getting the same stuff that you were before so what is the problem?

    To go on the new blog, which in my opinion is quite funny and not a whole lot different from what Robbo does and behave like spoilt brats just makes you look stupid.

    And for one of you to cry about how it is "just a guy pretending to be a puppet of Jose" this is just a comedian from Middlesborough pretending to be a generic Northerner/England fan for Christ's sake.

    I love Special1TV and I'll give the new blog a chance, it's hardly Mario Rosenstock's fault that the Beeb didn't keep Robbo on, is it?

    Meanwhile I keep reading Robbo's stuff here but I can't be arsed commenting any more because it's turned into a playground.

    Just one thing before I go - nice to see you back Bo, hope all those weeks of childishly watching and waiting for me to stop posting so as you could again has been worthwhile.

  174. Oh dear! how sad! Calamity! Disaster!

    I've just suggested to the Beeb that I didn't know which udder the Special 1 was pulling and that if they wanted to convince me that it was both quality and funny they would have to pull the other one.

    And would you believe they have moderated me off the blog!!! What was that speech by Churchill about fighting them on the beaches etc??

  177. im not sure bo. I had a hunch he was going to stay after hearing about the meetings that were going on the other day.

    Like you say, it could be so we dont get short changed, but im not sure i can see him in another team.

    Shitty - If people thought tevez got a load of shit for moving to them, i think rooney would get loads more.

    Chelski - Possible, but im not sure his missus would move south.

    Arsenal - I think (if in form) could be the player who would give you the edge you need to win the prem.

    Real Madrid & Barcelona - cant see them wanting him.

    There is a real school of thought that he is (like norman whiteside) suffering from a bunch of injuries that could mean he has already peaked. I blooming hope not.

    I put that i thought the BBC was supposed to be neutral.

    I have also sent them an email about how come the BBC seems to want to move forwards, yet by ditching robbo & cc, and employing motty, danny baker and special 1 they are going backwards.

    There is no way Arsenal would pay his sort of wage demands mate, not even for the great (little) man.

    no very true mate.

    Thing is the uefa fair wages thing is supposed to come in next year, and whilst im sure all the clubs will come up with ways to get round the rule, initially clubs like shitty and chelski and now us, will have to do something about it.

    On the radio today, they were suggesting that the norm for a top player in the prem was now £150k a week, but £250k a week was ridiculous. Erm, no, £90k a week is ridiculous. The guy who said it was a chelski fan....because they pay lampard and terry £150k each.

    Its all horribly wrong.

  190. I wish I could take credit for it Preach... it is a quote from James Anthony Froude.

    I agree Scholesy... 90,000 a week is truly excessive... 50 thousand is excessive... iff you paid players what they were worth it would be much closer to 2,000 - 3,000

  192. i heard on the radio that if your household brings in £60,000 a year your in the top 10% of earners

    we're nowhere near that but i was actually surprised how low that figure is. it certainly puts 250k a WEEK into perspective
