I'm not commenting on if its fair Roy,it's this fantasy about him bringing in quality because of his name which just hasn't happened. When it does then cry it from the rooftops but at the moment it's just basically not true. atherstoneram and Jourdan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, with Rooney being a legend at both clubs you would think academy players and the clubs would jump at the chance of gaining experience with the great Wayne Rooney,obviously not.

He didn’t have to resign him did he? Rooney made it clear he wanted to but only what was it a couple of days before the season he was able to? He could have let him go elsewhere. So yes Rooney resigned him and with jags they have been immense. So how did resigning him not have anything to do with Rooney? ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they've already got the funds too and are going to try and recoup their money through selling crypto shares through fans it could actually be a real thing. Strange that this would come out on Christmas day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly puts us at an advantage but there is no such thing as a FREE loan these days.

Well he signed jags and stearman so had other players on the radar given the restrictions. Some managers may have opted against Davies given his age and coming back from the serious injury. I’m not saying we should have but some would. Rooney chose to resign him - he makes the decisions as manager. So to say it was nothing to do with him is plainly not true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
