費sir決意保朗尼 怒炒隨隊10年軍醫
Rooney doctor sacked after dispute with Ferguson
By Sam Wallace
Published: 24 May 2006
Wayne Rooney's World Cup finals recovery was thrown into even greater confusion last night when the Manchester United club doctor Mike Stone, who has been placed in charge of the England striker's rehabilitation, was sacked by the club after a dispute with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Rooney has been under the care of Dr Stone since he cracked the fourth metatarsal of his right foot against Chelsea on 29 April, and it had been agreed by the England manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, and the Football Association that the 20-year-old would stay in Manchester for treatment by his club. Responsibility for getting Rooney fit for the World Cup will now pass to the club's assistant doctor, Tony Gill.
Last night, United insisted that the departure of Dr Stone had nothing to do with the issue of Rooney's fitness, or his potential readiness to play in Germany this summer. Ferguson's feelings on the subject of Rooney's fitness for the World Cup are not in doubt - he said in the aftermath of the injury that it was a "wild dream" to expect the striker to play for England this summer.
In a statement released to The Independent last night, a United spokesman confirmed that Stone had left the club. The spokesman said: "There was a difference of opinion on a non-football and non-clinical issue, as a result of which Dr Stone felt it is in the best interests of himself and the club for him to leave."
United were insistent that the reason Dr Stone left was a "difference over a non-clinical issue and had nothing whatsoever to do with any medical treatment to any Manchester United player".
It is understood that Dr Stone's most significant difference was with Ferguson, although he is also believed to have encountered problems with Ferguson's assistant, Carlos Queiroz.
Most important for Eriksson, however, will be ensuring that Rooney himself continues to receive the highest level of treatment at United. While there is no doubt that Rooney will do everything possible to recover in time, he is likely to be shocked by the departure of a man who has already coaxed him back to fitness following his broken metatarsal at Euro 2004.
Dr Stone, a small, portly man with a moustache who took over as club doctor in the 1998-1999 season, never sought the limelight but was an immensely popular figure among United players and particularly well liked by Rooney, who spent his first months at the club after his signing in August 2004 with the doctor, recovering from that original broken metatarsal.
Rooney is the only member of the 23-man England World Cup squad who has not been training with them this week in Hertfordshire and he was not present at the photocall at the unfinished Wembley Stadium yesterday. Instead, the striker has remained at his home in the North-west so that he can attend United's Carrington training ground every day for treatment.
The definitive scan on his right foot will take place tomorrow and will give United and Eriksson a clear idea of how good his chances are of playing any part for England this summer.
The England manager has been pinning his hopes on the scan results - expected to be released on Friday - and said this week that Rooney himself "thinks he will be OK".
Eriksson's FA doctor, the Swede Leif Sward, has also been checking on Rooney's development over the weeks since he was injured at Stamford Bridge, although United have tried to keep the number of those involved in the treatment as limited as possible.
Rooney was originally given oxygen tent sessions but they were discontinued by Dr Stone because the player complained of nausea.
The striker has also long since removed the "air boot" that gave his toe support in the immediate aftermath of the injury and Dr Stone even permitted him a trip to David and Victoria Beckham's World Cup party on Sunday night, when he is reported to have taken to the dance floor.
Having survived the fallout from the United defender Rio Ferdinand's missed drugs test in 2003, Dr Stone might have been forgiven for thinking he had been through the worst at United. His dismissal will not go unnoticed by Rooney.

曼联解雇了为球队服务了10年的队医麦克-斯通，这位负责领导鲁尼医疗小组的医生已经在本周一被主教练弗格森开除。球迷在过去10年的英超直播中经常可以看到这张脸，不过下赛季将再也无法见到。
自从鲁尼4月29日在斯坦福桥受伤后，他一直在斯通的护理下进行恢复疗程。英格兰国家队主帅埃里克森和英格兰队医斯瓦德都曾盛赞斯通的工作出色。不过，弗格森却一直不希望鲁尼为了世界杯过于激进，苏格兰人曾公开表示鲁尼参加世界杯的可能性很低，甚至根本没机会。
弗爵爷宣称，鲁尼是否参加世界杯将由他来决定，而不是英格兰国家队主教练埃里克森。然而，就在弗格森认为鲁尼不能参赛的同时，斯通却告诉英格兰队医斯瓦德，鲁尼的跖骨恢复情况非常理想。
鲁尼在受伤后仅仅两个星期就取得了突破性进展，他被记者拍到在曼联的卡林顿训练基地骑单车，斯瓦德对斯通的评价非常高。当时斯瓦德说：“我刚与曼联的医生交流过，他们给我的报告让人非常非常乐观。我们相信麦克-斯通领导的曼联医疗小组，他们负责帮助鲁尼恢复。我可以说，他们和鲁尼一起完成了极好的工作。”
随后，上周斯瓦德再次得到斯通的讯息，指鲁尼的正在“完美地恢复”。或许这让弗格森感到非常尴尬和愤怒，因为他非常不赞成受伤的鲁尼参加世界杯。
曼联在公布与斯通分手时否认他是因为鲁尼的事情被开除，俱乐部新闻发言人表示：“双方之间存在观念上的分歧，但不涉及足球或者医疗工作，因为这个原因，麦克-斯通认为他最好还是离开俱乐部。”斯通被解职的真实原因尚无法得知，不过，在鲁尼恢复良好的情况下让主治医生离开，这一举动显然会令人感到不解。
