WAYNE ROONEY may be in for an awkward meeting the next time he sees Birmingham co-owner Tom Brady.
That’s after some of Rooney’s outspoken old tweets resurfaced about how much he dislikes American Football.
Rooney was a prolific tweeter during his playing days and one of the pioneers of footballers posting on the platform.
Many loved his stream of consciousness approach to Twitter which allowed followers to dip in and out of the striker’s mind as he documented every passing thought.
And among these was the ire he felt for American football and the country’s sports in general.
Followers have discovered some classics from the archive such as this from 2012: “Trying to watch the Super Bowl Final, how do they call this football. Like watching paint dry. Looking forward to the adverts and music.”

He continued his rant by saying: “Seen more guys in studio than the players at the Super Bowl. Zzzzzzz hurry up music.”
He then expressed that he much preferred rugby league to its American cousin when he wrote: “Rugby league is far better than super bowl. Leeds rhinos to win again. I know its mad but im a rhinos fan.”
Its awkward for Rooney that he will now call seven time Super Bowl winner and NFL legend Tom Brady his boss after his role in the takeover of Birmingham.
Brady fronted up Knighthead Capital’s takeover of Birmingham back in August and it is said that he is taking an active role in the day to day running of the club.

Wayne Rooney confirmed in his first press conference at the club that he has been in contact with the NFL legend and said: “I have spoken to Tom, he is very ambitious to move this club forward.
“It’s great to have him here, it’s important for the players to see Tom Brady have an involvement. It’s very clear that Tom is fully involved in the club.”
Rooney will have the international break to get his players up to speed with his methods and implement his play style at the club.
His first game is against former Manchester United team-mate Michael Carrick as Birmingham take on Middlesbrough on Saturday October 21.
