Moyes Mad - Aug 2006
Wayne Rooney’s former manager will sue over the footballer’s autobiography according to reports.  Everton manager David Moyes is taking the Daily Mail to court for printing extracts from Rooney’s biography which discuss the circumstances surrounding his exit from the club and he has also threatened to sue Rooney himself.  The extract sees Rooney claim that Moyes was overbearing and controlling during his time at the Liverpool club and was ultimately the reason that he chose to leave for Manchester United.  Nothing to do with the fifty thousand a week then Wayne?
