I think if Rooney wanted ?200K to stay at United - United would bite his hands off to keep their star asset. After all ?10m a year in wages is a drop in the ocean with what is now at stake at United.


He was ruthless in forcing a move from Everton - and that is how United got him at 18, so what goes round comes around.

Very surprised with the Rooney u-turn - it's difficult not to be cynical as to whether this is the real deal or just a compromise contract that suits Rooney and United until the summer - so Rooney can live in piece and United get top dollar.


Yes it was refreshing for Liverpool to get a little break from it all..

I wonder if the fans will cheer or slaughter him next time he steps on the pitch. Given the fact that they forgave Ronaldo for getting his team mate sent off during the Euros a few years back, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they sang his praises.


After his agent put out some feelers, I'm guessing nobody wanted him and his personal baggage (no, I don't mean Coleen) and he had no option but to scamper back to Fergie with his tail between his legs. Once a blue, I mean red.

i've used a similar tactic before...put some rumours out there that you are looking around or interviewing and then use it to your advantage in a pay-review.


This is his job and he wants as much cash as he can get out of it....if that's the way to do it then fair play. Funnily enough Mourinho called it.

Hodgson is way out of his depth - both on and off the pitch. He makes Rafa's recent milk bottle tirade sound half sensible.


I don't see Liverpool winning many, if any, PL games whilst Roy is at the helm. Hodgson needs to be sacked a.s.a.p. There is no guarentee the next Manager will be a success, there never is, but once failure is identified then it is time to stop the rot and start again.


The only plus point from Hodgson is that, alongside the outgoing Christain Purslow, he did a great deal to persuade Torres and Gerrard to stay at Anfield when it was more likely than not they'd have otherwise departed due to previous regime.

Pah! Far too early to get rid of Roy Hodgson. How can he be out of his depth when he has experience of managing the likes of Inter-Milan? He's inherited a crap squad and has no money to spend until Christmas. Give the man a break. I think he'll get it right eventually.

Wasn't there a similar scenario at Newcastle where the fans got their wish to have Shearer and previously Keegan installed as managers, and looked what happened there.

      Another recommendation for Niko who identified a leak in my lavatory and sorted it.  Helpful and good to deal with.

      The SSRS app (Safer seas and rivers service), is worth downloading. It gives you real time updates on water safety / sewage discharges. It's pretty eye opening / alarming, how regularly areas are not safe, but reassuring when you do get the 'all clear'.

      The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit.

      Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?
