Wayne Rooney claimed victory in his latest battle with his former management firm on Thursday when a judge ruled that a multi-million pound claim by Proactive was "unenforceable". Proactive, who used to represent Rooney and his wife, Coleen, claimed it was owed commission payments and had made a claim for £4.3 million ($6.8m) from the Manchester United and England striker.
However, after the Court of Appeal in London delivered its verdict on Thursday, Rooney's legal team said judges had decided that an image rights agreement between the 26-year-old and Proactive was "unenforceable". "I am delighted," said Rooney. "I was stunned when Proactive claimed the amounts they did. "Coleen and I have always been happy to pay proper commissions to the people who are owed them. But Proactive's claims for money after we left the company were a joke."
