Wayne Rooney, fabulous player but big stud in every day events. Manchester United’s striker, Wayne Rooney, who scored the winning goal last night for “the devils” on Chelsea’s stadium in the Champions League quarterfinals, received bad news today from the Disciplinary Committee of the championship in England.

His appeal regarding the suspension of two stages received after swearing in front of the camera in the victorious match against West Ham United (4-2) was rejected, and Rooney will miss the rival parties with Manchester City, in the FA Cup semi-final, and the one with Fulham in the championship weekend.
Bad news does not end here for English striker, which lost its contract with the sponsor, Coca-Cola because of the previously mentioned gesture.

Known for his behavior and past acts, Rooney now hopes the rest of his sponsors will sign the extension of their contracts. In smaller size words, the situation is quite gray for the English player.

Rooney: “I am gutted to miss two matches, one of which is an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley. I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won’t be the last.

“Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right.”

“Whatever, I have to accept that what’s happened has happened and move on from here. That’s what I intend to do.”

Triple for Manchester, by Ferguson

Manchester United is on the wave in this season in Barclays Premier League. An awesome ride with good and bad, but with a stash sum of 66 points and with 7 points ahead of the next competitor, Arsenal.

With 25 years as master puppeteer for Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson has some big plans regarding the future objectives. He said:
“There are 14 games in two months and if everything goes right and we at United are used that things should go as it should, than it’s possible. In the past I have often said that winning a single trophy is great. But we now have the chance to win all three of them. We can repeat the historic triple of 1999.”

“I will continue as long as you have enough energy to do what I liked all my life. My father retired at 65 and died after one year. The worst thing you can do is put your shoes . People say things like: I worked for 45 years, I have the right to rest. It is not so, it’s your job to stay active.”

What could be a nice dream starts tonight in UCL against an old enemy, Chelsea FC.

The problems started to appear since 2005, when the Glazer family bought Manchester United. So from 2005 until now, they paid 500 million to the bank coming in 2010 with a deficit of 125 million.
In the past six years, Man. United has won three consecutive Premier League titles, reached the league finals twice, once defeating, owns a World of clubs trophy, three League Cup and three Super cups.

In the past six years, Manchester has reached a “gallery” in the world estimated at 50 million supporters.

However, in the last six years, after the Glazer family bought the club with 1.1 billion euros (600 million borrowed), Manchester United is playing just to cover the debt. Instead of investing in transfers, they paid 500 million to the bank. And the fact that the 2009-2010 financial season showed a deficit of 125 million is a consequence of this policy. Plus, the club dropped on March from 1st to 3rd in the Top 20 by D & T with the richest European groups.

How will affect all those events the players game? An influence is sure to appear but to find out exactly what…stay tuned!
