Furious Ferguson snubs showdown with Real target Ronaldo

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has pulled out of a planned showdown with Cristiano Ronaldo in Lisbon tomorrow.

Ferguson was angered and disappointed by Portuguese superstar Ronaldo's comments on television when he appeared to agree with FIFA chief Sepp Blatter's suggestion that United were treating him like a slave.

Sir Alex was due to fly to Lisbon for what would have been the first meeting between the pair since the furore about 23-year-old Ronaldo's links with Real Madrid blew up in the European Championship finals.Tomorrow's get-together had been regarded as vital to clear the air and bring the Madrid saga to an end.

Instead, Ferguson will stay in Manchester to push ahead with his attempt to sign Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov and supervise the squad departing on Wednesday for a threematch tour of South Africa. According to a source close to the club: 'The manager was hoping to sort things out with Ronaldo but that will now have to wait until the team get back.'

United's interest in 27-year-old Berbatov was revealed by the Mail Online last January when an initial inquiry about the Bulgaria international received little encouragement from Spurs. But Ferguson is still keen and though a bid of £20million has been rejected, Spurs could be more responsive if the offer reached £30m.


Ronaldo's attitude has hardened United's resolve to make him honour at least part of the three years left on his contract.

'Nobody twisted his arm to sign the contract. He was happy to do that and can't just change his mind on a whim,' added the source. Ferguson and chief executive David Gill are in full agreement over the stance and have the backing of the club's American owners, the Glazer family.

United also plan a determined response to Blatter, whose remarks about Ronaldo are in direct contrast to those he made last January when Andy Webster broke his contract with Hearts to play for Wigan.

Webster was ordered to pay the Scottish club £650,000 compensation by FIFA. When that sum was reduced to £150,000, Blatter complained: 'The decision is damaging for football and a Pyrrhic victory for those players and their agents who toy with the idea of rescinding contracts before they have been fulfilled.'

:lol:You couldn't make it up.Or maybe you could.
 
I'd say you probably could yeah!

Be nice to get paid for it though!
 
"The decision is damaging for football and a Pyrrhic victory for those players and their agents who toy with the idea of rescinding contracts before they have been fulfilled."

Blatter is contradicting himself clearly and I have seen similar comments which go against his slavery comments. This man being in charge beggars belief.

sign of times, when president of worlds biggest sporting body can dole out such hypocracy and double face..
 
Agree 100% how difficult is it for Ronaldo to end this and say " I want to stay at Manchester United"? He wants to go, but if he asks for a transfer it will cost him a very large sum of money. So he is using tactics. With his agents(soon to be millions richer) help sic


I am sure Madrid would happily compensate for any loss he "suffered" by asking for a transfer as it would put them in a much stronger position to reduce any fee we asked.
I can't tell you why Ronaldo has not asked for a transfer if he is as keen to go as everyone says but I am sure it is not money.

I've been listening to Talksport and a journo on there said, if a player were to hand in a transfer request then that'd wave away any right he'd have to a signing on fee. I'm not sure about this and the Webster ruling. So, if it's true, I guess it's down to his agents.
 
Do you picture Calderon as some comic-book supervillain playing the puppet-master and manipulating everyone including United, the fans, the media, Ronaldo, his agent etc? :wenger:

Quite frankly Calderon has done nothing wrong, this whole story is down to Ronaldo and him alone, if he wanted to end the speculation he could have done so at any time.

While Ronaldo has been no angel in this and some of his comments have been quite frankly disrespectful to the club its clear Madrid and Calderon are at the most fault. They are constantly trying to get a player through the media that has four years left on his contract. Now everyone knows Ronaldo wants one day to play in Spain and Madrid and specifically Calderon have abused this knowledge.

I personally think he will stay here and we should do everything in our power to make that happen. We want to firstly keep the best player in the world here but more importantly send a message out that we will now be bullied into selling a player we don't want to sell which in the long run is the most important point.

Now I am very confident our manager can sort this out and am just waiting for the day he talks to Ronaldo and offers him some proper advice and support because quite frankly I believe some people around him are trying to look after their own insterests instead of his.

Platini vs Blatter

Il presidente dell'Uefa, Michel Platini, prende le distanze da Cristiano Ronaldo e Sepp Blatter in merito alla situazione dei calciatori, che blindati da lunghi contratti, sarebbero da considerare alla stregua degli 'schiavi': "Non sono d'accordo - ha detto Platini a margine dell'incontro informale dei ministri incaricati delle relazioni con l'Unione Europea - perchè i giocatori firmano contratti che vanno rispettati. E' una questione di professionalità e onestà nei confronti del contratto sottoscritto".

It basically says that he disagrees with Blatter and he believes that contracts should be respected.
 
Well, to be honest I much rather watch someone who has pride putting on the Red jersey than eleven Ronaldo's. When players have no heart to play for United they mean nothing to me - Van never existed for me after the FA Cup tie at Anfield. Ronaldo's first hint wanting a move was enough for me to cross him off my list of United players.

I respect and can't argue with that!! But Ronaldo the footballer will allways give 100% on the field! What i don't get though is why we have to grudge him if he leaves... His arguable been gave us (BE HONEST) 2 of the best seasons from a player i've ever sin in my life time and it's not like we're a mid table team that will suffer massively from his departure! We have tramendous players here and like Inter(Ronaldo) Juventus (Zidane) we'll still remain a force.

Sorry but i think you just lying as far as Ruud goes... If SAF never mentioned it you would have never thought nothing about his actions in that game.

Platini is still a disgrace as the UEFA president
 
Madrid would no doubt compensate, but I am sure they would find a way that would insure that United had to pay some of it. And I do not believe that it should have anything to do with United. Ronaldo is not for sale, end of. Blatter can blabber on(he never does anything else) Madrid are soon to be lost in the shadows of clubs from the Premier League because they play in an inferior League. Blatter and Platini are having near heart attacks because their friends are in the Leagues of other lands. Blatter and Platini are also out of touch with todays world.
The Premier League is the best League in the World

To be honest like anyother man Betrayed, I don't think SAF out of anyone could ever forgive Ronaldo and be kind enought to still give him advise. If it was me i would use Ronaldo untill i felt i nolonger needed him!

"Where the player is subsequently transferred at the request of his club, any unpaid instalments of the earlier signing-on fee are payable immediately. But where the player requests a transfer he forfeits any such unpaid instalments unless the management committee is satisfied that his transfer request was made on reasonable grounds."

There you go. It explains why he hasn't handed in a transfer request.

I think his agent has to take a large portion of the blame, in this case.

The football club always comes first with Ferguson I have no doubt he will advise Ronaldo to be part of and indeed wecome him into our starting line up this season. I think this is what this whole situation has lacked and indeed while its spiralled as it has because Ferguson has not had the oppurtunity to sit down with Ronaldo. This has been due to internationals and injuries but I would imagine Ferguson is going to sit down with him and will imo do everything in his power to keep him here for footballing reasons.
 
Fergie is being very clever into not getting in a direct war of words with Blatter or Platini for the matter.

Both of them attacked United in order to get some media coverage, still the "We're here to talk football", says a lot about Bla Bla Blatter :lol:

Yes Sir Alex is being clever because if he'd have said something it'd have given blatter a chance to respond. Though now platini has spoken out - so maybe he'll jump on that...

I don't know how good ronaldos english is but when he agrees with blatters comments it sounds to me like someone looking to provoke (I reckon he was reading from script) - rather then someone that actually believes the comments

He's said a lot of silly things, but dreams are one thing - the real worlds another and it will come crashing down. I think the situations in hand and let's be clear, if there is no one we feel can replace Ronaldo currently out there, we probably won't sell.

All this talk of Morale is well and good, but I think it wouldn't effect the others so much because you don't have to like the people you work with and Sir alex ensures a good team spirit.

He's not exactly busted a gut to get back to Meccachester, has he.

I sure hope this is true...

Surely if United keep Ronaldo, they will have a big black eye. In that case, they will have been exposed as the shitheads they are, who despite their corrupt tactics and the FIFA president in their corner, they still couldn't get their man. They will be a laughing stock and Calderon will be up shit's creek

This is true, I am not trying to defend Ronaldo's comments or actions I just think he has been badly advised and Ferguson can sort this mess out and am hopeful he will be playing at Old Trafford next season.

Whether he believes in what he said or not, the fact is he backed up Blatter, when everyone in the world bar Calderon was disgusted by them. I actually do think it was scripted, though. I mean, Ronaldo hadn't said anything. . .and as soon as Blatter said his piece, Ronaldo echoed Blatter's sentiments in an interview. Of course it was all planned. Which, I think, makes it worse.

I agree with you about keeping Ronaldo. And I have 100% faith in SAF to do so. It will no doubt anger Mr. Blatter the idiot who somehow got to be the president of World Football. That's what happens when the capable people are too shy.
And Barbie will have their new Real Madrid doll out soon.

he's been badly advised. Yes. But he clearly wants a move to Real. If he doesn't get his way, he'll be in the shit. He's been so stupid, by forcing a move that he's got not control over.

For F..k sake Spoony where is Meccachester?

Manchester.
 
We will be giving in to Real Madrid if we sell Ronaldo, another reason why we won't.

If we sell him now, when they come knocking for another one our players such as Anderson or Nani in a few years time and we say 'not for sale', they will just think 'well they said that about Ronaldo' and keep pressing and pressing.

Well, it'll prove that player power, rules.

Agree Spoonov, it was all planned about 3 weeks ago, UEFA has no morals. UEFA is biased. UEFA is anti English. It is a fact though that that is exactly how UEFA are.

I don't deny he's the best player in the World. I've never said we should deny his dream - in fact I'm saying, and always said sooner the better. I was one of the first ones on here who said he should be sold if his heart is no longer at the club, which obviously is not from judging from his first few statements.

With respect I see no benefit in lying concerning a footballer to some stranger on a message board.

it does but I reckon Ronaldos been seduced by the so called 'power' of madrid. friends in high places an all that. It's interesting now, platini coming out disagreeing with Blatter. I wonder if this is because people might suspect they're up to no good :)

Either way, if we keep Ronaldo and show him how strong we can be maybe he'll jump back in the pram. As someone said, he's easily led so I don't think it's cut and dried yet

Or maybe shithead mcgee is after full bladder's job
 
I still reckon he will be an United player at the start of the new season sadly. He has acted like a right cnut but we should refuse to sell him on the cheap. In my opinion there is only one club in the world that can afford Ronaldo, and no way in hell would Ferguson sell him to Chelsea.
 
There you go. It explains why he hasn't handed in a transfer request.

I think his agent has to take a large portion of the blame, in this case.



What I am saying is Madrid can easily compensate Ronaldo for any money he might loose so I am sure it is not money that has stopped him asking for a transfer.
 
Look, I know a lot more about Ronaldo than you think. Check my first post in this thread after coming back from Moscow. He'd decided to move even before playing the final - all this about his head being turned away from OT is rubbish.

I can't see why Real, or their agents are any more to blame than Ronaldo, or his advisers - they are in cahoots. Ronaldo can quite easily have shut all and sundry up after the first question about his future.

What Ronaldo lacks is not intelligence but class, humility and a sense of gratitude.

as ever bro you are on the money ... I cant see why its not obvious.

I guess there are too many on this forum who put player before club and with The cnuts cock so far down their throats, are willing to be humilated. Hopefully, when we get rid of 'The cnut', they will also move and support Madrid. Good riddence and I wont miss him or them.

I wrote before that the values that Ronaldo has exuded in all his time at United ... of selfishness, personal obessed vanity, shamlessly sleeping with whores, all the diving, the conniving, ... all of it is so NOT UNITED.

He is a smart boy ... but in this case, he has miscalculated. He may get his move, but any affection, admiration or respect that he may have accrued, its all gone. He is a cnut and will always be remembered as one.
