rooney not signing

So it looks like Wayne Rooney will not be signing a new contract at Manchester United and wants to leave, even though (according to Sir Alex on MUTV today) there had been no falling out between them.

Personally, l think Manchester United should just offer £50,000 a week max to everyone, as let's face it, that is still a ridiculous amount of money for a (probably working class) footballer to be earning.

If players don't want to sign for United and decide to go elsewhere for more money, l say fuck 'em, let them go. I would rather have someone playing for the love of the club rather than a mercenary just after a large pay packet.

It's also about time the pay came down as the amount players earn is obscene.

If the pay ceiling also means United don't win everything, so what? It's about principles, the same as l would rather see United attacking and trying to win games, even if this sometimes meant losing. Rather that than become a team like '1-0 to the Arsenal'.

Good luck to Blackpool for sticking to £10,000 a week wages. l really hope they stay up because of it. In fact the pay should be £10,000 at United as well, bugger the £50,000. If players started out knowing they would be getting paid £10,000 a week for playing football, they would snap it up and still consider themselves lucky.

l'd make them travel to the ground on the bus as well - pampered bastards.
