When it comes to Football (soccer) none other than Wayne Rooney can be viewed as one of the best footballers of the game today. However his clean image of a great footballer was caught paying for sex, essentially cheating on his wife Colleen. His great reputation somewhat in disarray.
Its then no surprise that trouble on the pitch soon followed as Wayne Rooney submitted a transfer request to Manchester United. After much debate it is believed that Sir Alex Ferguson had much to do with his staying with the club. All the commotion saw non other than Rooney coming away with a 5 Year contract worth 200,000 to 280,000 pounds a week. Is he better than the team? How will this effect the play of the dominant Manchester United squad that hasn't been so dominant this season? Are you going to change your betting system based on this disruption?
Actually, were going to give you 5 reasons why Manchester United was able to keep Rooney:
1. Arsene Wenger made a great point when he said that he's seen it before, and knows that ultimately the clubs decide what to do with their property.
2. Manchester United seemed to have won the press battle, an uphill battle that saw an already unpopular Rooney losing a popularity battle due to the before mentioned scandal.
3. He just wanted more money and he got it. Manchester United thinks he is worth every penny, and despite all allegations you had better bet he is.
4. Letting Rooney go for the remaining 18months of his contract would be like giving away 10million euros. Financial suicide for any club.
5. It is also reported that a huge NIKE advertisement was vandalized with threatening statements made towards Rooney and his leaving of the club. Thugs, hooligans may have had a part in Rooney staying.
This doesn't change anything for the Manchester United squad, they are winning with serious players and a deep bench. Don't change your betting system just yet.
