The club will be doing nothing, it's in the tit, and owners are trying desperately to sell. They bought Rooney in as a big advert to get sponsorship, attract more players, new owners etc. and it's blown up in their face. They couldn't care less about Rooney, despite what they say.
I guess I mean all the people around him and the clubs in general.
Although he has obviously taken it far enough that his body is struggling. Maybe it won’t be hidden for very long.I don’t mean to sound nasty or mawkish but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is dead within the next 5 years.
I had a friend like him. Maybe 10 yrs older than Wayne but hadn’t had the excesses of lifestyle Wayne has. He hit that stage when it suddenly become very obvious he was unwell and showed in his looks/health/ageing. He was such a great guy - a good man, but no doubt a
bleeping nightmare to be married to. I think his wife had a miserable time and eventually kicked him out. I don’t blame her at all. She was right to. He was drunk all the time and had lost his (high status) job. He also had a very young son he adored.
The last time I saw him he was crossing the road in front of my car. He was carrying cheap tins from the Offie. I beeped and waved at him and he waved back. He was dead a week later. It was very hushed up and his family took him back to where he was born the other end the country, and had a very small private funeral. I don’t know if he died from alcoholism/drunken symptoms or took his own life. I suspect the latter. It seemed like a very fast deterioration. Just such a bloody waste.
edited to say: I’m not belittling alcoholism. I think it is an insidious disease. I do wonder if their (past clubs/agents etc) covering up of it with Wayne is far more about protecting their interests and image, than actually doing the best for him.
