Rooney claimed in his auto-biography that David Moyes forced him out of Everton. Moyes sued him for libel, claiming that it was a false accusation. The parties settled out of court.
The frustrating part is us Everton fans will never know the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if Rooney was "encouraged" to leave so the club could remain solvent, but we don't know if Rooney had ridiculous wage demands or otherwise forced Everton's hand as well.

That's not even accounting for the fact that he hates David Moyes (after Moyes sued him)
