Everton denied Rooney cash fillip


EVERTON have missed out on a cash windfall - despite Wayne Rooney winning his first trophy as a Manchester United player.
The deal that took the striker from Goodison to Old Trafford in August 2004 contained a number of clauses that could lift the final value of the transfer to £27million.
Everton will receive additional payments for a variety of circumstances, such as Rooney playing 20 competitive England games while at United or signing a contract extension.
However, although the Goodison outfit will also be handed extra bonuses should Rooney win the FA Cup, the Premiership or the European Cup during his Old Trafford stay, they did not negotiate a payment in the event of United winning the League Cup.
As a consequence, Everton will receive no extra income after Rooney scored twice in Sunday's 4-0 final win over Wigan Athletic in Cardiff.
