Wayne Rooney Blames Moyes For Leaving Everton

Another technician in England is to suffer great criticism from the media in the next few days. Why? Because Wayne Rooney just talked bad of him. And we know how the British tabloids are. Once you hurt Rooney, you have to pay the price. We all witnessed the "Cristiano Ronaldo incident", when Rooney - what a paradox - didn't even blame his colleague for his elimination in the World Cup quarterfinals.

This time, it's about the Scot tactician that first coached him at Everton. David Moyes seems to be the main reason why
Wayne Rooney wanted nothing to hear about renewing his deal with the club where he first stunned the English football. According to his autobiography - at his early age of 21 - Rooney admitted that Moyes was putting a lot of pressure on him and that he was waiting for any offer to come so he could get out.

More, Rooney admitted that, if Manchester hadn't made him a good offer, he would have signed for Newcastle United. Imagine the St James Park fans reaction to that! "I didn't want to play for him ever again. I would have gone almost anywhere just to get away from Moyes. There was only one person who seemed a bit upset and envious for what was happening to me - and that was Moyes. I suppose he expected to get most of the attention himself following a good season. But when he realized I was getting so much of the limelight I felt he resented it", said Rooney in his book.

The player was stunned to see how some local newspapers wrote pretty bad articles about him, following Moyes' information. He felt angry at his former coach, for he had gone to the media and told them how he couldn't bear having Rooney on the team and having to put up with his "superstar status". He immediately chose to sign a deal with Manchester United, a move that saw both sides in a win-win situation. Everton got 45 million euros for the player, while Rooney got away from Moyes' nightmare.
