However, the tactics employed by the parties in the negotiations over Rooney’s new contract highlight the importance of decisions from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the Webster and Matuzalem cases.

The 2012 Olympics may be providing the capital with all sorts of new facilities, improved public transport, and an influx of tourists when London finally opens its gates to athletes and spectators in 18 months time.
