As George Carlin would say, feck him with a big rubber dick.
He should talk to Ronaldo, apparently he knows a guy...The guy has tiny penis complex.

About as deluded as people who thought Rooney was better than Ronaldo. So yeah a lot actuallyYeah just a little bit.
Hope the idiots at old trafford dont sing Ronaldo's name in foreseeable future
It will send a wrong message.
Club must back this man for as long as he deserves it.
He wants to interview Musk next. His simping is about to go all the way up to 11 to pull that one off!Piers is the biggest **** I've seen, it's embarrassing

Erm. What?About as deluded as people who thought Rooney was better than Ronaldo. So yeah a lot actually
So to clarify....Rooney was a better player than Ronaldo?Personally for me, he absolutely is because Iam a united Fan and Rooney has done a hell of a lot more to Utd than Ronaldo ever will be(and many of my friends who are also united fans agree with this, also i personally wont Rooney in the same category as Scholes because of his Chelsea dibacle). Ronaldo achieved 10 times more for Real Madrid than United and if his fans think otherwise then its their view just like mine doesn't mean I will call them deluded as everyone has their own perspective.
We just need to sign a replacement basically. Need to act quickly in January though with games against City and Arsenal on the 14th and 22nd respectively.
I hope ETH is not affected by this Ronaldo saga at all and is enjoying his break now to come back stronger to rebuild the team.
Keep the focus on the present and the future. Ronaldo is now firmly on the past. It was a catastrophic mistake to bring him back last year. He is the biggest ego and divisive figure football ever known.
ETH has been calm and controlled. SAF would have kicked Ronaldo back to Portugal if he had refused to come on. I remember Gary Neville or Rio saying that SAF made him cry after a CL match in Portugal.
Scholes, as much as I love him, once refused to play. Completely different circumstances though neither player can be excused obviously. But the point is SAF didn’t boot Paul out then. And he had a much firmer grip on the club than ten Hag does now.
It was a league cup match and he refused to play and told the manager privately. He got fined and told if he ever did it he was gone. He apologised too.
Ronaldo did it twice and then in public slated his previous manager and his current manager. It's ridiculous to quote the Scholes incident.
I think it's no more complicated than he wanted to give Ronaldo a chance, and also I think he saw a personal challenge to see if he could get something from him.You can question his decision to give a single minute to Ronaldo: he has been shite for ETH, he has offered next to nothing and he obviously doesn't fit ETH's preferred system/tactics/setup at all.
For me, it would have made more sense to play anyone rather than Ronaldo. The argument that "we don't have anyone else" makes no sense, it's invalidated by Ronaldo's own useless performances. Elanga (or the tea lady) wouldn't have been worse.
So, yes - I see where you're coming from: If ETH has the backing of the higher-ups, why is it necessary for him to keep playing an unsuitable, under-performing player who also happens to be a thundercnut who doesn't respect his boss? Why not just drop him?
"Yeah, he's clearly shite and he isn't committed to me or my way of doing things at all...but I'll start him because..."
Yes, why exactly? Perhaps he really thinks that Ronaldo (despite being an obvious misfit and an obvious thundercnut) is legitimately a better alternative than...whoever may have replaced him. Again, though, that seems all the more odd based on what we now know: Ronaldo hasn't ever been on the same page as ETH.
We all (apart from his increasingly bizarre fan club) hope we've seen the last of Ronaldo in a United shirt, so that ETH can focus on his job - but this is still worth discussing, I think.
SAF was a subtler manager than his legend says. Scholes reaction was so uncharacteristic that Fergie probably saw it as caused by an error he'd made, rather than Scholes. That's why he didn't take it out on him beyond the basic discipline.Scholes, as much as I love him, once refused to play. Completely different circumstances though neither player can be excused obviously. But the point is SAF didn’t boot Paul out then. And he had a much firmer grip on the club than ten Hag does now.
A man goes on Piers Morgan and says I'm in danger?
He’s probably won the biggest player power battle he’ll ever have to manage.
No doubt who the boss is now, if there ever was any.Erik has dealt with Ronaldo in the same way Ferguson dealt with Roy Keanes departure from the club. A case of moving on now and timely reminder that no one player is bigger than the club or manager.
I think that is probably fair, but the manager made mistakes along the way too. He shouldn't have backed Ronaldo as much as he did post-Chelsea.He’s probably won the biggest player power battle he’ll ever have to manage.
Of course he had to. It showed CR for who he truly is, despite several olive branches (on a sporting and human level) being shown to him.I think that is probably fair, but the manager made mistakes along the way too. He shouldn't have backed Ronaldo as much as he did post-Chelsea.
