What Really Happened In Wayne Rooney’s Dog Kennels
WAYNE Rooney has long been a figure of tabloid fun, a thing to dress up and mock to solicit a cheap laugh. No paper leads with this line better than the Sun, which recently enlarged its Rooney shtick to tell us that the player was lashing out £10,000 on underfloor heating for his dogs.
The Mail dutifully re-reported this fact.
…So it shouldn’t be surprising to their fans to hear the Manchester United footballer has splashed out £10,000 on underfloor heating in their dogs’ kennels.
Maybe it shouldn’t. But it came as news to Wayne Rooney. As the Sun now reports:
“In fact, there are no dog kennels at his home and thus no under floor heating has been installed. We apologise for the mistake.”
A mistake is saying the floor cost £10,000 when it cost £30,000. Something bigger is when the story has not a scrap of truth to it…
