Haven't we outspent Madrid in the last 10 years?
I wonder how much we could fine him prior to ending his contract? 2 months wages is 4 million pounds!
What the feck is this post
my godHe could insult your mother and you'd find a way to sugar coat it
edit: I now see it's satire - well played.

I can think of plenty.
And agree that what he’s done might not constitute gross misconduct. Refusing to play is probably the best ammo the club have but they’ve already disciplined him for that.
If it all works out in our favour, I'm going to believe Ronaldo did this without taking advice from his usual people.
Curious to see who will take him on, just cannot see any right thinking club wanting him unless they want to ruin their whole team dynamic.
This is the hill you choose to die on?
Any serious football person or even fan (notice I didn't say fan of a football celebrity) would probably know Ronaldo's in the wrong. You might get a few like Souness who will side with him just to try and destabilise the club.
I reckon the celebrity worshippers will be split in 2 camps, the Ronaldo loyalists who will hate the club, and the Messi loyalists who won't love the club, but will definitely be overjoyed at how United handled it.
His image will take or has already taken a big hit. We can make that hit bigger. Ronaldo's career is at the fag end. We should focus more on our own principles imo. The club is bigger and will longer than a 37 year olds fag end career.
I hope so.
?Could get a new jacuzzi or two!
Good to see club is taking steps to sack him, hopefully that's possible as it would be best outcome.
Many people mention 2008 and his "I'm a slave" comments, but (as many on here probably know) similar happened in 2006.

Had to put these quotes as I find it interesting that he went after Ferguson and Gill, 2 people he actually praises in this interview with P. Morgan. Of course, he was young back then and it was after that WC where he had a fight with Rooney and English media criticised him, but found it amusing it anyways.

I think he's done that already. There's no coming back from this and the club won't be associating themselves with him for some time I'd say.
Ronaldo is not a scapegoat. He is a dumb GOAT who borrowed cleaver from Piers and put it on his own neck.
He's been nasty to his hero, obviously.
He isn’t forced to accept it. He (or his legal team) can say that United are in breach by terminating and sue for his losses. In the meantime, he can sign for another club (with his wages partly mitigating his alleged loss).
That's what he wishes he was
He will probably remember that Napoleon quote at this pointWhat the feck is this post
He could insult your mother and you'd find a way to sugar coat it
Isn’t it the Roy Keane situation? By opening it up again and talking about how happy he is to have done it would make it misconduct in itself?
By all accounts he claimed he was too sick to be a part of the Fulham squad then does an unauthorised interview in his leave of absence as well.
couldn't agree more with Jordan. Peirs literally had zero objectivity and was merely there to "girl talk" with ronaldo for 90 mins in a massive circle Jerk. So many things Ronaldo said made absolutely no sense and didn't square with something he said five mins ago. Infuriating to listen to
I think it is fair to argue that Ronaldo has done the poisoning, fame is fleeting in a couple of years Ronaldo will disappear up his own backside, Utd will still be one of the biggest clubs in the world
In terms of most famous, we have plenty more and plenty better than the gigantic Adam's apple, I for one will be glad to to see his gross neck anymore
It is but it's also all on him, absolutely could not handle not being the main man anymore and he melted down over it.
Don't think he could ever fill the role Messi is now as the supporting actor and mentor to his other 2 younger and still widely famous co-stars. He'd torpedo that dressing room and team chemistry
I was wondering about this. Surely him doing these little things have got to add up?
It really, really isn’t.
We would hold his registration in this scenario
Our threats to sue will simply be to ensure he goes without compensation - he will either accept to be terminated without wages or the club will persue the legal route.
On this last point, we were getting thrashed by City but we were thrashing Spurs. Is it not obviously more respectful to Ronaldo to not sub him on late against City while City are bending us over than subbing him on against Spurs while we have them bent over?
He clearly said "rest of the rats". He obviously meant Rooney was one too. No need for interpretation, it's said clearly.
Shame Ronaldo FC can't accept this.
honestly, is it commission based per interactions, or do they pay you guys a flat fixed fee?
No, they wouldn’t fight termination so he gets his move. Ronaldo’s camp could then sue for unfair dismissal and for wages etc.
Not worried in anyway. I've talked to a bloke who thinks ETH should get sacked. Sure it's only one bloke but it would be interesting to gage opinions. My guess is that football fans view this differently to casual observers (forget Ronaldo FC). And naturally 99% of United fans will find Ronaldo's action dispicable. I suspect he'd have had more goodwill had he played the majority of his peak years at OT.
Come on, it's obviously a joke from the poster - and a very good one.What the feck is this post

I think it's absolute gold!
Exactly. Some people can't understand it though it's so simple. We were 6-1 down to City when he didn't want to sub him on, and 2-0 up vs Spurs, so totally different.
All employment contracts in England have clauses implied through either statute or common law, this means that even if not specifically written in the contract the duty still exists in the eyes of the law, one such clause is the implied duty of trust and confidence which is what I would imagine the club will rely on in repudiating Ronaldos contract
Fifa can't transfer registration while there is an ongoing court case about his registration. He has no leg to stand on, if he wants to continue playing football.

It’s Inglorious Basterds isn’t it?
"Rat" is actually a friendly term of endearment in Portugal, ye just don't understand.
I genuinely am not sure - and I think that says everything. Some of his fans are that crazy. IF it's satire then it's a good one.Come on, it's obviously a joke from the poster - and a very good one.
