I hope we'll upgrade the facilities and catering. Can't sleep since the info about Shaw not being able to feed himself properly!
 
Forgive me if this point has already been brought up in this 214 pages long thread, but how do you see the outcome of this in terms a divided or united squad ?
My hope is that Ronaldo’s departure will bring the team closer together and boost the respect for ETH and the management. My fear is that Ronaldo will try to turn players like Dalot and Anthony against the club and we will be back to where we were last season.

It should drive players to be more respectful with the manager, like if Ronaldo can't get away with that then less so anyone else. United has been a circus after SAF left in part due to management pandering to underperforming players and having no clear plan. So this shouldn't be a problem in the long term, as ideally you want players who want to be at the club and play for their manager and the manager should also have some capacity in deciding what players he wants.
 
I've yet to tell my son that Ronaldo's a cnut. He's still doing the siuuu thing. When should I break it to him?
Show your son the video of him slapping another person’s son mobile phone

Between Perez quotes and the alleged Mourinho outburst against Ronaldo, does this interview and specifically the way he acted has if he knew better makes you wonder if he was already like that at Madrid? And maybe the world didn't spot who was disrupting Madrid's dressing room at the time?
 
Piers Morgan, and his loaded questions were always going to get Headlines, that's what it was intended to do. Hopefully UTD can now address the fallout and deal with it, imo its all over for Ronny sad it's come to it, but he's pissed on his chips and no way back, if UTD decides to sack I hope they do it before the World cup ends.

Dalot possibly, though you'd obviously hope not. I would expect Anthony to be loyal to Ten Hag if anything, given their history and Ten Hag moving mountains to sign him in the summer. I'm sure that goes for Martinez too. Varane has already commented and seems to just want it over with. Fernandes doesn't really seem that close to Ronaldo and I'm sure is quite happy with his role at the club. Casemiro is too much of a professional to down tools. Garnacho is a Messi fanboy, not a Ronaldo one. Other than that, I can't really think of any other players who'd particularly care one way or the other. Many might even be delighted that he's gone (Maguire for example).
 
Can we all just agree that resigning him was a terrible idea. He cost Ole his job (which was a positive) but he was never in a million years going to fit into an ETH team. And being shoved on the bench week in week out was only ever going to end this way. The supersub fantasies were just unhinged.

I doubt any serious team will want him after this. He's done.
Costs Ole his job (which means we land ETH), exposes the Glazers on the big scale, and then leaves; all within a year and a half.

Not too bad a signing in the grand scheme of things.
 
Guardián reporting we’re exploring suing him.

Clearly he doesn’t want to annul his contract - he could have just done that without any fanfare surely? I guess that would look pretty bad for him and he’d rather be ‘forced’ out as he’s too good for an EL club whilst we all celebrate him leaving.
 
Souness believes he should be treated differently because he's "arguably the greatest player that's ever kicked a ball".




He's been talking about this fantasy theory he made up for month now.


This is after a 2 hour tell all interview with Ronaldo where he didn't even mention it, totally bonkers :lol:

Garnacho is sadly a Ronaldo fanboy.
 
I hope we sack him on the day that Portugal start their first game in world cup

Humans by nature protect their interest first. Its not in the interest of any United player to outrightly side Ronaldo.
Those who are closer to him would try to stay neutral maintain normal relationship with him but still go about their job without any malice towards the club and some who he may have rubbed the wrong way but didn't show previously will be opening backing ETH stance.
There will neutral and then people on ETH corner. Ronaldo lost here and people don't back losers.
 
every time I choose to read some comments under a tweet or YT video about this whole thing, I can feel some of my brain cells die. To see the amount of people who will blindly back the narcissist and blame United for everything is baffling and, frankly, pretty disturbing. The cult of personality knows no limits ... can't wait to see the back of him and his cult.

I thought everyone know Garnacho is a Ronaldo fanboy.

Varane and Bruno have commented and hardly came out defending him. We are better without him as a club and squad
 
Going off the titles of the videos in my I stagram feed, Martin Keown, Graeme Souness & Danny Murphy all seem to be on Ronaldo’s side as opposed to Uniteds.

How. . . surprising. Ten Hag is doing something right cause these idiots can’t hide their contempt at this point.

Oh my sweet God - car crash of a post. If people get their heads turned because someone went against their employer and got fired, deary me they should be the first one to be thrown out.

They can leave too.
 
Mendes is going to be busy now finding him a new club willing to pay him top dollar.
 
Why people have trouble with the "rat" comment?

I don't consider "rat" as an insult. Consider for a moment, the world a rat lives in. It's a hostile world indeed.

Has a rat ever done anything to you to create this animosity you feel toward them? Rats were the cause of the Bubonic plague, but that was some time ago. In all your born days, has a rat ever caused you to be sick a day in your life? I purpose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity if Ronaldo call Rooney a squirrel, do you?
Fleas & poor overall hygiene

But this is a solid bait post. Well done
 
Garnacho is sadly a Ronaldo fanboy.
He called Messi his idol on Instagram and copied one of his celebrations the other day.


I suppose he can be a fanboy of both (the filthy plastic). No doubt he has great respect for both as players, as most people do. I guess this is a test of whether his head's screwed on right.
 
What we don’t need is for this to drag on into 2023 with daily headlines. It must be in everybody’s interest to get this settled as smooth and quickly as possible so both parties can move on.
I fear however that Ronaldo will not be able to find a suitable club in January, and he will do anything he can to stay on the front page and in the meantime trying to influence players to take his side and hereby create disturbance within the team.
 
Souness believes he should be treated differently because he's "arguably the greatest player that's ever kicked a ball".



I'd love for United to sue him. Doesn't matter if he's in the top maybe 5 players to play the game, he is accountable by law.

There have been many defamation trials recently including Rooney vs Vardy (Wagatha Christie) and Depp vs Heard.

Ronaldo is essentially using defaming United for his own gain and throwing executives like Arnold under the bus.

I say go after him in courts and tarnish his ego, doesn't matter how well he has kicked a ball filled with air for 20 years. This is off the field.

What he accomplished on the field doesn't matter, there's no sentiment here he shit on the club, now the club can use his statements (literally aired on Television) and show what United did factually and he can deal with it.

As another poster put recently (who is well versed legally) the interview could be seen as a breach, I think his contract will be terminated then United will sue him after that for what he said
