So we had to sell him to save everton? How were everton in so much financial trouble?
30 million debt was massive back then crazy when you think now, i think the banks where calling in the debt.
People might not remember butthuis was the summer Paul Gregg was trying to oust Bill wasn't he?
Anyone remember the attempt to stage walk out v Middlesbrough.
Just all sorts of general bad vibes around the club e.gTrevior Birch

Was an awful summer which turned into our best season in decades.

Don't believe Rooney for a second, he wanted out and I'm sure the stories at the time were that his family were telling anyone who would listen he wanted out. Im sure he refuse to play at man utd away the day before on the bank holiday Monday?
 

It was always said by someone may have been Kenwright himself which no doubt was a lie, that Rooney was offered 50k to stay and at that point it was supposedly the most a player had been offered to stay and he turned it down as Rooney wanted to go
