According to this, Rooney can buy out his last year of contract for just 12m. So, if he insists, he not only won't extend his contract, but indicates to MU hierarchy that he plans on using a buyout clause come next summer, getting a solid fee for him now may be the best solution for United.
Keeping an unhappy player and paying his huge wages for another season, knowing you're certain to lose him for 1/3 of a fee you're offered now, is it really worth it?

I'll offer you the same advice someone should have offered the alleged football journalist who wrote that toss: actually research the Webster ruling.
Don't be silly. He won't buy out his contract, i can assure you that
The mirror journalist is an actual retard. There's a reason why Webster ruling isn't used by the players. look it up.
Above all the football comings and goings. This is genuinely sad. That someone getting a good wage to publish absolute tripe like this. It's fecking putrid.
Let's be clear here, Wayne Rooney isn't gonna buy out his contract. The reason why it isn't used by so many players because all the clubs have the gentleman's agreement not to use this clause or else the player power at the clubs will increase.
Don't clutch at straws AH.

OK, I didn't know that.
They might, it seems to be other players he upsets.
We will suffer financial loss if we don't sell him this summer. Lets not keep the unhappy player here.
More than that, the definition of buyout value under the Webster ruling has now been tested on a couple of real cases. If the player hasn't simply spent the past year on the bench, it will include compensation to the selling club for the loss of the player and for the timing not being of the club's choosing. In other words a transfer fee.
There can even be a punitive element added if arbitration concludes that the buying club provoked the break. Plus possible tax implications could make the buyout a bigger deal than an actual transfer.
We'd probably cite the "one year left" transfer fee we paid for RvP as evidence that it costs a lot of money to buy a proven PL striker.
And the fact that they haven't, and that we are under no obligation to sell him to Chelsea, should give Rooney pause (and hopefully make him realize that he should grow up and reciprocate the kind of respect that the fans showed him last week in Swansea.) After all, is he's attracting so little interest now, how does he think it will look in two years time as he nears 30? Seems to me his best approach would be to grow a set and get on with it, lest he further behind in the attacking pecking order for the one club (other than Chelsea) that has any use for him.
I agree he is going to have to bite the bullet and get on with it. He supposedly wants to be the main man, well now Chelsea have signed Eto, who I presume also wants to be the main man. He could end up in the same situation as he is here.
You just don't get it, do you? We don't need the money. We're fine for that, thanks. We don't need to strengthen Chelsea while weakening our own squad, so we won't. Not hard is it?
And that clause isnt as straightforward as the papers make it out to be.. things like that never are.
He can rot in the reserves for all I care.

Yep, I'm pretty sure our amateur legal & finance team haven't run these numbers already!!

That rooney buying out rest of contract rumour is beyond ridiculous. Where would rooney get 12m from? He wont risk losing loyalty bonus but yeah he'd spend 12m on buying out contract? Dont be daft. Oh but the 'buying' team just pay the 12m fee to rooney himself? Hmmm...yeah, im sure the tax man would love taking the 40% out of that one!
More media bullshit which this entire saga is living off

Rooney earns around 10m a year, so he should have no prob getting 12m. Still, he knows that he can't risk being left out of the first team for long. He ll end up looking like the real fat bastard in Austin powers
Is that his salary only or the money he earns from marketing is included as well ? It could more than 10m a year IMHO.
just the salary and I was being very conservative considering that some papers qouted his salary at 250k a week - 12.5m a year. Anyway there s no doubt that rooney can afford forking out 10 k
He could even have some sort of deal with Chelsea, as they motivate to pay the money and then they'd pay him back by increasing his wages once he signs for them.
Chelsea would obviously pay the £12m or whatever fee
or a huge signing-on fee
The claims in many newspapers of 250k and upwards were certainly not accurate as of the summer of 2012.
Does he have the £12m? Can be certain a bank wont finance a transaction like that as they need special insurance for certain classes of risk. A few lads in the city will need to put their necks on the line to get that one over the line, as I dont think Chel$ki can legally give him the cash while he is our player.
Makes you wonder why clubs pay huge transfers fees then, if that's the case.
Oh yeah, it isn't.
KM says earlier in the thread that there is a gentlemans agreement between clubs not to finance deals these transactions and it will give the players to much power. It looks like both us and the scousers have stood up to unhappy players and won. A positive move for the game. As much as I dont like Suarez and the scousers, I think its good they held on to him after all the nonsense he said during the summer.
I'm sure I read the G16 or whatever it's called agreed not to do this to each other
Lets hope some dodgy Russian company does not start to sponsor Rooney....Spurs did one on us over Fryers also, but the year off seems to have done him no favours.
£12m? Roman's got that in his sky rocket for tipping waiters. I'm sure he could lend Rooney the money through some of his mates in Russia. You nailed it first time Livewire.
A bit like Shitty and their dodgy sponsorship deal to get them around the financial fair play regulations....
FFP? People with the kind of money City's owners have got don't give a feck about FFP. That's for other clubs.
It was G14, Chelsea were never a part of it and it's ended a long time ago.
Graceless stuff from Mourinho:
Ahead of Manchester United’s crunch game with Chelsea, Jose Mourinho had a few words. Words which will enrage Manchester United manager David Moyes.
The story with quotes will be on Monday’s Guardian front page.
Jose Mourinho pointed the finger at David Moyes, blaming him for Rooney’s unhappiness at the club, because the new United manager described the England striker as ‘second-choice’ to Robin Van Persie.
Mourinho waged war when asked if Moyes should shoulder the blame. “Of course” he responded.
The Chelsea manager said “We are trying to get a player that a manager told ‘You will be a second option’ for him (Van Persie).”
A third Chelsea bid for the Manchester United forward is expected before the transfer window closes.

If he doesn't go this next week he'll definitely be gone next summer.
I'd let him sit on the bench for the last 2 months of the season and ruin his World Cup

A year is a long, long time in football. He'll come around from his little show at Swansea, the season will go on and by next summer he may not be looking to leave at all.
