If he hadn't been so cheap he might have got a discreet girl
After all, he's probably blown about 50k in lawyers' fees trying to injunct the story
There's a moral here somewhere........
An escort will spend the night with you for £1200 or so, while a solicitor will want £50,000 before he fucks you up the arse
I'm just guessing at what he might have spent.
When I was in the UK it would have cost about 5k to 7k for me to do a simple injunction that wasn't particularly opposed, doing the Court hearing myself.
Rooney will be using expensive London solicitors (with hourly rates double what mine were) and he will also have a QC on board, and it's for sure News International will have fought tooth and nail. Also, having lost, Rooney probably has to pick up News International's legal bill too.
So actually, it's probably more like 100k +
Still he can afford it, and wigs don't come cheap
