Wouldn't want him within a hundred miles of any club I followed. Not denying his ability but there's more to being an asset to your squad than skill. Goals or not, his presence makes United worse. Selling him is a net gain. It's not all 1 way, they probably told him he was pinnacle in the direction of the club & he would be this & he would be that etc...when in reality they just wanted his name. They had £187m in shirts sales in the 1st 10days of him rejoining as well as all the other revenue streams he comes with, they wanted Ronaldo the cash machine but sold it to him as he would be the Red Machine. What surprised me more in the interview was the statement about how the club has stood still since he 1st left (also SAF) that's the clubs main issue there they haven't moved on when advancements in the game & everything around it has, again they have been relying on the name & brand to pull them through since SAF left. but I do get he's still playing & contracted to them so it is a little naughty to do this now edit: Having said that last sentence & pressing send you wonder if he would be sat with Piers had SAF not convined him to join & ended up at Man C instead. I think there he would see the bigger picture & be happy to be a bit part player as everything about that club has advanced where as he sees Man U are going backwards & sometimes you have to speak out. You never know it could jolt Man U to look at themselves? Edited 15 November 2022 by BKLFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Col city fan Posted 15 November 2022 Share Posted 15 November 2022 I’m a bit torn on the Ronaldo interview. Firstly, he’s saying what tons of others have said, eg. Neville, about the Glazers. But then I think they are the same owners that are paying him 400k per week! I think that’s possibly called ‘biting the hand that feeds’. Can’t see him playing again ever for Utd, of course, and I think that’s the best thing now for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobyfox Posted 15 November 2022 Share Posted 15 November 2022 (edited) Ronaldo has obviously been a poor signing and a significant drain on resources. He has just become the latest chapter in many poor decisions since SAF left Man Utd. Long may it continue!

Some truths but he is part of the football problem. His high wages have to be recovered somehow. Increase ticket prices, charge more for tops etc. He needs to shut his mouth in a time when others can't pay their groceries, electric or gas bills and take the cash for doing nothing. I know that's conflating issues but i dont feel sorry for him. Blessed to be making good coin, blessed to be playing football at 37, blessed to not have to worry financially. Blessed to be living out everyones dream of being a professional football player making £. If he thinks he has it bad come work for my boss making my salary. I say something i have no job. He says something he cries into his millions. Edited 16 November 2022 by Jattdogg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans were expecting him to leave in January (says their forum) so they won’t be able to sell now you would imagine. Really crap situation for them, especially if they had been planning for a sale, he may have double screwed them over. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippier's punishment definitely didnt fit the crime. Didnt his ban coincidently fit betwee two international breaks? Atletico and Simeone were right pissed off.

filbertway Posted 16 November 2022 Share Posted 16 November 2022 Just now, st albans fox said: There are good reasons for having a blanket ban Mainly laziness on the FA's part. It's easy to get around anyway so there's no excuse to get caught. Place bets in cash or get a mate/family member to stick them on for you.
