I would say Ronaldo's off pitch attraction is well and truely over in England. The only way we can benefit financially is another great season with Ronaldo helping us to achieve on the field.

Players already have too much power, I hardly think us standing our ground will help much. As for SAF having announced not wanting to sell, I've heard that line a number of times in the past - it's called negotiation.

I had a doubt a lot of the comments and analysis over the summer were copied from here.

The media are after their bit of flesh. After the world cup incident now they'll get their revenge, and maybe Ronaldo has asked for it but not United fans so I hope people chill

The Times July 12, 2008

Fans turn backs on Cristiano Ronaldo after outbursts

James Ducker

If Manchester United supporters seemed prepared to give Cristiano Ronaldo the benefit of the doubt as question marks surfaced at the start of the summer about the Portugal forward's commitment to the club, such backing appeared to have all but evaporated last night as fans lost patience with a player who has gone from hero to zero in seven bewildering weeks.

United's following have clung wishfully to the hope that comments attributed to Ronaldo affirming his desire to move to Real Madrid have at best been fabricated, at worst misconstrued or misinterpreted. But the player's alarming outburst this week has left no one in any doubt about his intentions.

Ronaldo's badgering to leave has been reason enough for resentment, but it is his claims in a television interview during which he echoed the comments of Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, that his situation at Old Trafford is tantamount to slavery that has most outraged the United faithful and strengthened the feeling that there is no way back for a player who scored 42 goals last season.

As many fans wrestle with rising ticket prices during a sharp economic downturn, the attitude of a player who earns £120,000 a week - discounting the millions he receives from endorsement and sponsorship deals - likening his position to that of a slave has bred widespread contempt.

Much of the ire by United supporters in recent seasons has been directed at the Glazer family and the perceived never-ending commercialisation of the club, but the overwhelming message to the American owners from fans yesterday appeared to be to cash in on Ronaldo while they can. Real are thought to be prepared to stump up in excess of £60million for the player. The consensus on message boards was that United should “bleed Real dry” for every penny the club can get, although a vocal minority called for Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager, to let the player “rot in the reserves”, a threat that the Glazer family made some weeks ago.

Redcafe.net, one of the leading United forums, has received more than 15,000 posts on Ronaldo, most of which depicted in often graphic detail the extent of the deterioration of the player's relationship with the fans, with “absolute disgrace” perhaps the most frequent and polite insult directed at the Portuguese.

Ronaldo is used to confronting and overcoming adversity, but while he received a warm welcome back from United supporters after his involvement in Wayne Rooney's sending-off during England's quarter-final defeat by Portugal in the 2006 World Cup, it remains to be seen whether the fans will forgive him if be stays at Old Trafford beyond this summer. The first clues should come this afternoon, when United face Aberdeen in a pre-season friendly at Pittodrie.

Even had he not been ruled out for up to three months with an ankle injury, Ronaldo would not have been at the match, although the fans' reaction to his hankering for a move is likely to overshadow the result and the celebrations to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Aberdeen's Ferguson-inspired European Cup Winners' Cup victory over Real.

Although numerous conspiracy theories are doing the rounds, with some suggesting that the Glazers are prepared to sell Ronaldo and that United are happy for the speculation to continue because they have yet to sign anyone, amid fears that Ferguson has little money to spend, the overwhelming belief is that the club want to keep the player. That battle, however, is likely to get harder after Carlos Queiroz was confirmed as the new Portugal coach yesterday.

Ferguson was loath to lose his assistant, but despite offering Queiroz a significantly improved contract, the attraction of succeeding Luiz Felipe Scolari proved too great for the Portuguese to resist.

Moscow's transport authority says that Manchester United owe $230,000 (about £115,600) for buses used by their fans for the Champions League final against Chelsea in May. Yekaterina Bostoyeva, the Moscow Transit Authority spokeswoman, said last night that 425 buses were hired for the supporters on the day of the final and two preceding days. She said that Chelsea had settled their debt of $120,000 for 220 buses through travel companies. United, who won the final in a penalty shoot-out, could not be reached for comment last night, but Co-operative Travel, which usually organises travel for United fans abroad, said that it is looking into the claims.

From a marketing PoV that's not bad, not bad at all. I'd imagine that there'll be more journos popping in every once in a while after that. Shame he didn't mention the more than 1 million views. Sounds better. lol

FERGIE: I'LL MAKE RON'S LIFE HELL

SIR ALEX FERGUSON is determined to make life hell for Cristiano Ronaldo.


The Manchester United boss is incensed at the winger’s latest backhanded attempt to force a move to Real Madrid.
Ronaldo admitted he felt like “a slave” on Thursday and strongly hinted once again that he wants to join the Spanish giants.
Fergie has not spoken to his wantaway star for the last two months and intends to continue giving Ronaldo the cold shoulder until the club return from their pre-season tour to South Africa on July 28.

United fly out next Thursday, with Ronaldo staying behind to recover from ankle surgery. The Portuguese star could be out of action for 12 weeks and is currently in Lisbon recovering.

However, Ferguson will show him who’s boss by ordering him to return to Manchester after he checks in with the specialist on August 2, so he can be kept under the supervision of United’s own medical team.

And stubborn Ferguson is now planning to wreck any chance of Ronaldo featuring for Real in the Champions League next season by playing him as soon as he is fit in Europe, which would cup-tie Ronaldo and prevent Real from fielding him if he joins them.

When did he say he will make Ronaldo's life hell? :rolleyes:

Ohh I thought he would rest Ronaldo in the CL this season even when he's fit....
Great article, fantastic from dailystar....
 
Love that piece of journalism... Fergie will use Ronaldo as quickly as he can in Europe to cup tie him? The transfer window will already be closed.

Actually, I e-mailed the Sun a few days back telling them of this thread. I posted the thing in here somewhere.
I gave them links and facts about the site. Isn't the Times and the Sun the same group? Would like to think so.
I would imagine that most of the 20,000 views a day come from journos trying to find out what's going on. There's no better place!
 
Do we actually have any idea whether SAF and Ronaldo have spoken?

With all the bullshit printed on this never ending fecking story has there actually been anything on what SAF has said to Ronaldo and vice versa.

If you'd mentioned the 1 million plus views & considering the work you've put into this thread I reckon you'd have earned a little commission from the Cafe.
 
William Hill have Ronnie at 8/11 for staying and evens for leaving. Expected a Fergie response today. Maybe after the game tomorrow.
Anyhow Ronometer has slight movement.

They did indeed. However I've done a little research, and performed a search to see who has stated the words 'absolute disgrace' within this thread. The results brought up only one direct match (so much for 'frequent' insult eh?), and that was actually uttered in the direction of Madrid rather than Ronaldo. However, that poster should recieve aclaim in the circumstances as the man The Times have quoted, so congratulations to...

I hope Fergie called him when he was pissed & aggressive, imagine it:

Seriously though I would hope it would go something like

SAF: Laddie. You're a cnut. Close the door on your way out.

I prefer the RabC edit (without the spacing feck ups). I agree with the your conclusion though, however it's phrased.
 
What we actually want, is something like this but with Fergie and Ronnie, maybe Calderon and Mendes too.

Okay, so with the latest developments, and the now clear indication that Ronaldo wants to go, I have two questions for everyone. I'll set up a little template for you, so that copying and pasting is easy.

1. What would you like to see happen with Ronaldo?

-

-

2. What do you think will happen with Ronaldo?

-

-
 
Personally, my thought are as follows:

1. I would like to see a deal struck quickly, with a fee around 75-85m pounds, so that we have plenty of time to sign some other quality players to fill the gap left by Ronaldo.

2. I think United will play hard ball, eventually giving in towards the end of the window, with a fee roughly 60-70m, leaving us no time to buy replacements.
 
should not be sold at any cost just to show real madrid used every trick and still couldn't sign.

and saf is stubborn...i like that.
