Not sure I'd class myself as a fan, certainly not in the same bracket as some of the others on here.
For me no player can be bigger than the club. Once the first player is seen to be able to do what he likes and get away with it, you're on a slippery slope.
How much would Madrid or City pay for him? 50, 60, 70 million? Would that make any real inroads into United's debt? I don't think so.

You would think so, but Fergie's not far from retirement. Which adds an element of doubt.

Done a good job at Barca, but proved unable to control egos and, IMO at least, couldn't develop a plan B when things went wrong. Just doesn't have 'it' for me.

I'd be very surprised if Fergie walked and Rooney stayed. Rooney's marketability hasn't taking some hefty knocks in the past few weeks and 600k a month of the wage bill could seem very appealing to David Gill et al.

Lost control of the dressing room at Barça and was seen to be too close to the players.

T'other article's a cracking read though
