Rooney (18 months left on a contract)

[TX Bill]

I am pretty sceptic of millionaires giving money to charity, tbh. If only cos bill gates has been a philanthropist for years and is still the richest man in the world.

That show an inefficiency at donating money that is most uncharacteristic of the man.

Thanks for proving my point.

If he wants to stay then there's nothing we can do.

I'm really not fussed either way. I thought he'd come back to the club he said he loved but clearly he'd got his own way with a pay rise.

I don't think I could justify earning £300k a week, it's just mad, and there's no way he would take a significant pay cut to join us.

I mean who specifically in this thread...

Have you read the thread? Are even reading the conversation you and I are having?

Are you really this thick or is this intentional from you?

Thing is with footballers moving for the money and stuff, imagine saying to your wife 'alright love City have offered to treble my wages there but I don't fancy it really'.


Castrated in your sleep.

It's one thing if you're happy where you are and making 100k a week and someone offers you 150k a week to change clubs vs something like 300k a week. There's a lot of change when moving clubs, moving towns, moving schools, etc....

He could give it all away some would still find a reason to get on him. Silly really.

I don't think anyone is actually saying that rooney should take the pay cut, they're just arguing that not everyone in the entire world would.

There's a difference between saying rooney made the wrong choice and saying that rooney made a choice and that tells us something about his priorities.

You seem to be arguing that there was no choice, that literally everybody would do the same. And I think that's hyperbole, as well as telling other people that you know their minds better then they do,

I was intentionally asking you a question hoping for an answer, yeah.

If that makes me thick then so be it...

Coleen will have the lot off him !

she may well do.

but she reported to be worth £25m on her own.

so it would take the piss if any court took half of waynes.

A guy i work with left his high powered management job for a much lower paying job in my workplace because it was closer to his home and less stressful, and it allowed him to spend more time with his family.

In Bill's world that guy doesn't exist.

Well sorry mate but you're wrong on that one.

I've never met anyone who, all things being equal, would reject a pay raise from 100k a week or whatever it was to 250-300k a week or whatever it's reported to be.

Maybe you have. Good on you.

You apparently don't understand the words "All things being equal."

One more thing I've got to explain to Brennan.

I've known plenty of people who've turned down jobs because of the amount of compensation wasn't enough to compensate for moving, changing schools, having children have to make new friends and leave old ones behind, etc, etc....

Hate to disappoint you but that guy not only exists in my world, but I know quite a few of them.

tx chill out mate.

as i dont want to see you get a yellow card.

Right, but surely the whole point is that all things aren't equal?

Obviously if the choice was job 1 at club 1 under conditions 1 for 5k vs job 1 at club 1 under conditions 1 for 14k, it's pretty simple.

But that's not the case. Man U aren't Everton aren't Chelsea etc, etc.

He's a professional and he's driven by what he and his advisors think is best for him financially, reputation and status.

As in business, emotion should not cloud judgement.
