Now I’m sorry Sir Alex but is this not the same Wayne Rooney currently starring in his own tv show on Sky One, which aims to find the best street player in Britain? And if it is then isn’t Rooney using the media for his own ends, on the show, imaginatively called Wayne Rooney’s Street Striker (actually quite an enjoyable program but beyond the point).
If Ferguson doesn’t want to see Rooney banned in future, then surely he must set about curbing the players temper rather than blaming the press, opposition players, anyone and everyone but the Scouse striker. I’m not saying take the aggression out of Rooneys game, for that isn’t the issue. Rarely does he get in trouble for his aggressive style of play. No Rooney finds trouble when he feels hard done to, or is upset or angry and he goes about looking for retribution/ revenge in the wrong way. Curb the players temper Sir Alex. Look at the way the great Dennis Bergkamp was ice cool (but the Dutchman still knew how to look after himself and be aggressive when the need arose) and the finest forward at Englands and maybe Uniteds disposal, may just become the world class forward he has looked like potentially being for the last 5 years.
