Statement has just been released by Rooney:
He's not signing a new contract because he is concerned about the ability of the club to win things in the coming years.
Doesn't feel the club's ambition matches his.
Gill, presumably, couldn't make assurances about the levels of spending by the club in the future.
Lovely. And with Rooney leaving, we all know that drastically destroys their chances even further.
But that is a very clownish statement to make. Hopefully team morale and unity will be completely shot after this. And as far as Rooney goes, I'd think twice about wanting such a character on my side. I'd still put in a bid for him, but the fact he's trying to out-do Ibra is not surprising but somewhat worrying.
Chelsea running away with the title looks even more sure now.
