Can't be real. Surely to feck that can't be real? Real people (not actors) don't talk like that, do they?

He sounds like a complete bell end.
 
I've pledged. I've a baby daughter being born in October and I don't want her growing up in a world in which Ronaldo plays for any other team but United.

This campaign will surely have no effect? If he's going to come back it will be because massive deal has been struck between the clubs, bit because of some cringeworthy video appeal.
 
I've still yet to see a decent explanation of how they expect to get past the fact that when you buy a shirt, the money goes to Nike, not the club. You'd think before they started getting people to pledge thousands of pounds, they might have checked that the idea actually worked.

EDIT: Also, imagine the awkward moment when, somehow, this actually raises the money for the club.

Ronaldo: 'Ah, yeah... this is kind of embarrassing but... I'm actually fine here, to be honest. They're paying me feckloads of money - and I've only been moping about a bit to try and force them to pay me more. Me and my family are nicely settled in here. Plus it's sunny - does this tan look like something I could maintain in Manchester? So, thanks but no thanks. Maybe you should buy Gareth Bale with the money instead, he's pale as feck.'

He doesn't even need a tan for typing out hard.
 
Given SU were unable to mobilise the global fan base to buy enough shares to block the Glazer takeover, it would be kind of perverse if we now raised enough to bring Ronaldo home. It would probably cost as much as a blocking stake would have.
 
I've still no idea how this would even work.

These lads raise the money.

Hand it over to United. "Now, you promise you'll use this money to fund Ronaldo's return?" Glazer responds with "Well, heck yes, I'd love to see Christopher return to our franchise."

"Release the hounds, lower the debt."
 
Also how does transferring a load of money to the club like that work for tax purposes? Can they say that United are a 'charity' giving a home to a disadvantaged Portuguese man-child, and claim gift aid?
 
I got this pm from a newbie.

Please for the love of god mention that when we don't sign Ronaldo, any one who stupidly pledges only gets £7 back as the other £3 is taken as a "administrative fee"

Would hate for some asshole to make £30,000-60,000 off this.

So, yeah. Don't get conned you stupid cnuts.
 
Woah. There are 3700 pledges already so that's 11k he's already made just by uploading a rubbish video and site.

Not necessarily.

Whoever's behind this probably just added the 3,700 to the counter on his website just to make it look like people are pledging; others have done it, so perhaps you should too.

I very much doubt that so many people have been conned by this obvious con.
 
They realise that Nike and only Nike get money from shirt sales right?

that cant be right can it?!

Can't believe what i've just watched. That shit cant be real surely.. Was fully expecting a "for £10 a month you can feed a family of ronaldos for a year.." or something.

Guys already sitting on £37k of non-refundable donations. Im fecking done.
 
I wonder who is actually running this scam. Because it is a scam.

It is a scam, absolutely. There is 0% chance of any of the money going to its stated purpose.

Still, anyone who falls for it deserves to be scammed.
