Yeah, they should really stop all the hero worship towards Rooney now. Same as Liverpool fans did with Gerrard when he put in then withdrew his transfer request eh?

The difference is Liverpool fans werent saying they were glad he wants to leave and good riddance to him, they wanted him to stay all along!

Have they said how much he's getting?

I never thought Rooney was the type to back down so quickly, unless that's what he always planned to do. Perhaps he is so thick skinned that he was prepared to take all of the flak he's received in the last couple of days to get an extra £50k per week? Perhaps he's just being playing hardball and is happy to let Fergie be seen as winning the battle as long as he gets the contract he wants?

Quite a lot that I have heard TBH, maybe not on here but a few friends and thousands of muppets on the tv/papers and ringing in radio stations etc

No the difference is that you're a Liverpool fan and so are hardly looking at this dispassionately enough to see that the 2 occurences are pretty much identical.

I reckon they sat down, told Rooney how long Fergie was going to manager for, then told them that Jose will be manager after him and money will be available. Job done.
