Rooney: I Dropped Coca-Cola Four Months Ago!

After Wayne Rooney’s swore in his celebration against West Ham, the papers were full of stories claiming that he had been dropped by Coke as a result.

Rooney has put the record straight today, claiming he rejected a new deal from Coke four months ago.

“It makes me laugh,” he said. ”I saw the story last week in the newspapers. I spoke with Coke towards the end of last season about signing a new deal and obviously with the Olympics coming up they wanted a bit more of my time to do more commercial appearances and I just didn’t have the time to do it. This all happened at the end of last season so I haven’t been with Coca-Cola since 2010 but it’s only just come out in the newspapers now. It makes me laugh when they are saying I’ve been dropped by them.”

    It’s a joke, the media have a pile of crap about united/rooney and on the morning of a great win they dig through the archive to see what shit they can pull together to be a dark cloud on our sunny day. We can laugh it off but it frustartes me how many people buy into it. Oh well we know the drill by now!

    Last night we were fantastic, we’re playing great football and with a bit of luck can replicate 99! Not getting carried away with that though. 1 game at a time. See you all at Wembley!

    Are the British media like this all the time? You say the media in some countries are ‘controlled’, but at least they don’t report shit with an anti-ManU agenda. One or 2 ABUs journos needs to be watched, though.

    “I haven’t been with Coca-Cola since 2010″ and Wayne’s form has since improved.

    Things go better without Coke!

    It’s like they want to rub his nose in it
    time and time again. Surely he had
    enough money now to not bother
    advertising and just play football for
    God’s sake!
