Rooney definitely believes his own hype, that is for sure. I just have zero faith in this being exactly what Fergie has described. He is the mater manipulator and is the only one who believes he is bigger than Manchester United. And the way he conducts himself, maybe he is bigger than the club. Who knows.

The benefit to Rooney is possibly a very lucrative weekly wage and the promise of more trophies to come. True, he could have handled it differently and still got what he wanted but in reality, he isn't the smartest guy around and probably doesn't know how best to react to certain situations. He could learn a lot from Fergie in how to manipulate things to your advantage.

This reminds me of the Tiger Woods scandal where what was being reported early on just didn't make sense. Why did Elin need an iron to smash a window and drag him out of his SUV? The real story eventually came out, I just wonder if it will happen here as well. Something about this just didn't sit right with a lot of people.
