Dave Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/9090179.stm Rooney denies ankle injury claim Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has contradicted club manager Sir Alex Ferguson by claiming he has not had an ankle injury this season. Ferguson took Rooney off during last month's 2-2 draw at Bolton and left him out of games at Valencia and Sunderland citing an injury to the 24-year-old. However, Rooney played in England's 0-0 draw against Montenegro on Tuesday. "No, I've had no ankle problem all season," said Rooney when asked about his problems on the fitness front. He was then asked as to why Ferguson had said he had an injury, Rooney replied: "I don't know." Uh-oh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I didn't think these rumours of Rooney being off from Old Trafford had anything in them, but this contradiction proves something really isn't right there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Big Mal - Former Man Cty manager Malcolm Allison has died, Malcolm Allison, the coach who helped inspire Manchester City to great success in the late 1960s, has died at the age of 83. Allison arrived at City in 1965 as assistant manager to Joe Mercer. City went on to win the Second Division crown in 1966, the League title in 1968, FA Cup in 1969 and European Cup-Winners Cup and League Cup in 1970. Allison managed 11 clubs at home and abroad, leading Sporting Lisbon to the Portuguese League and Cup in 1982. He took charge of Crystal Palace on two separate occasions, and also had spells as manager of Bath, Plymouth, Galatasaray, Toronto City, Middlesbrough and Bristol Rovers. During his playing days, Allison made more than 250 appearances at centre half for West Ham, before losing a lung as the result of tuberculosis in 1958. "Big Mal" - as he was known - always had an eye for publicity, and was famed for the "Lucky Fedora" he wore during one of Crystal Palace's Cup runs and his love of cigars - but his later years were dogged by ill health. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/9096162.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
