Swaggering down the road, grinning like the idiot he is, Wayne Rooney made for a repulsive sight this week as he held Manchester United to ransom over his bloated pay demands.
He’s living proof that money can buy you anything — except respect. Here’s a man who seems to believe he can get away with anything.
Betray your wife with a couple of prostitutes? No problem — just remind Coleen she’d be living on a council estate if it wasn’t for you. Add in a £675,000 house for the in-laws and even they will turn a blind eye to your thuggish antics on and off the pitch.
As for Alex Ferguson, his loyalty over the years to his protege seemed to count for nothing.
For in Wayne’s world, betrayal doesn’t matter and money rules. The cave in by Manchester United, who’ve handed him a new £45 million, five-year deal, has left him smirking all the way to the bank.
The greed of the man is astonishing. But the most disturbing aspect of the whole episode is that it’s a stark reminder that on Planet Celebrity vulgar, offensive and immoral behaviour does not diminish your worth one jot. Quite the opposite. It actually makes you even wealthier.
