We've literally had months of media coverage on Qatar migrant workers being the modern day slavery.
and you're somehow claiming the media landscape today is more focused on this ronaldo disrespect issue..
Yes, he literally announced it was coming. I don't see why people can't call him out as a twat thought?
Piers Morgan now saying he would have Ronaldo at Arsenal.
So Piers Morgan has tweeted like 425 times about the interview. What a joke.
I don't see anything in that short statement to suggest a termination. Just says they need time before responding to the media.
Every now and again I realize how utterly absurd this world is.
"Ronaldo might be fined £1m (2 weeks' wages) as part of his punishment."
2 weeks. £1m. £1 million.

Should have elected Count Binface so he could have worked on his whole "Piers Morgan to be zero emissions by 2030" campaign promise.
Ben Foster said on United Stand that it's very difficult for a football player to get outright sacked. I think there is huge financial motivation here from Ronaldo tbh, he knows that nobody will pay him what we do based on his inability to find a club in the summer and he's probably just looking for us to buy out his contract and then will head back to Sporting for a lesser salary.
I hope we find a way to terminate his contract. The cnut doesn't deserve an amicible ending.

Any valid points he does make are cancelled out by the fact that he's clearly just saying it to make himself come across as the victim. Oh I was promised this, this, and this but the big bad Glazers won't tell ETH to play me every minute of every game and have the entire game plan be based around getting me goals!
All of the valid points he makes are things we all already know and as others have said him coming back to the club was a sympton of most of those bad things.

They fell out.
So which is worse? Modern day slavery or Ronaldo saying in an interview that Ten Hag disrespected him hence he doesn't respect Ten Hag?
Im just replying to your post lad. Not sure why we're going in circles about this? Just so you can prove you're right?
Teach him to stop worshipping footballers, or any other celebrity for that matter.
Most of them are either drug addicts or ego maniacs obsessed with money.
Yeah, he did unfollow Garnacho on Instagram following his celebration. Various people snapped his Insta to confirm it. I checked this morning and Garnacho is back on it again, but Ronaldo definitely (for a period) had a hissy and unfollowed him.
Any Portugal fans who think this will somehow galvanise him to have a great world cup will be sadly mistaken.
His head is clearly gone and combine that with his startling performance drop off and we have an absolute disaster to look forward to.

What are you talking about? It was a fecking analogy, he wasnt an actual slave. It was crass, not incarceration. This time is wasn't an analogy, he insulted hius current manager.
The column inches between the two Ronaldo quotes seem to show that yes, the disrespecting the manager is a bigger issue for a footballer. Proven by the fact we took him back after the slavery quote, but now it looks like he's burning bridges.
Utter clown.
For United, it's targetting the manager. The modern day slavery comments from Blatter were inconsequential because they were blatant BS and they weren't specific to United.
fecking hell it keeps getting worse.
And that's what the thread is about, voicing that, yet you somehow don't understand or like that?
I know. Money that would set most people up for life.
And a vague clumsy analogy, not a direct insult to his boss.
It's very fecking weird. As many have said he tried to leave during the summer, but by all accounts, no one came in for him, at least not seriously, or not with a bid (according to Andy Mitten who I'd class as highly reliable for United news*). If no one was after him then, this move is not going to make him a more attractive prospect to anyone, so surely, he is hurting his own chances at securing a move away? I can't see any top club coming in for him. I don't think any top club would have done based on the evidence of his performances this season, let alone this interview. It will be a move to a lesser league, or a leap towards semi-retirement, i.e., USA, China or Middle East.
I think Keane was quoted somewhere as saying he had some good offers to move but didn't. I'm sure Ronaldo may have been approached by agents, and likely spoke to clubs via agents, but unless a club comes forward and makes an offer for the player, either with a transfer fee or asking for him on a free, which there were no concrete reports of apart from Al Hilal (I think), then I'm inclined to believe Mitten, as I am sure he has better sources within the club who know what is happening from the clubs point of view.

I already made that point but apparently my memory faulted me.
That United statement is a sucker punch really. Basically saying "we're all focused on doing our jobs here, it's just you who's a weirdo, we have no time for that".
fecking hell it keeps getting worse.
This drama fest must cease to exist to December or the club will never move forward mentally.
Christ, what a circus.
Christ, what a circus.
You are not as young as you used to be in fairness.
I don't think people took it as an analogy considering blatter said it was modern day slavery. But lets not argue about the semantics.
My personal opinion that what he said back then was far more disrespecful to the manager and club, than what it happening now.
But I guess its splitting the difference between a shot to the head and a bullet to the brain.
He is no legend of the club. Get him the hell out. Selfish.....
Sack the cnut
I thought you were angry at him?
So now its about despising him?
Goal posts just keep moving
As if I didn’t love Melissa Reddy enough already she’s once again nailed it..
A sentence you'd thought you'd never see.
