Piers Morgan having a go:

The way Ten Hag seems to delight in humiliating
@Cristiano is pathetic. Sticking the world’s greatest ever footballer on the bench, making him repeatedly warm up, then not even use him as a sub, is just staggeringly disrespectful to United’s top scorer last season.


I post this just in case anyone needed further reassurance that EtH has done totally the right thing. Piers Morgan vehemently disagreeing with it, what more could anyone need by way of confirmation.

The reason people like Piers will never be a top level football manager, he's not even an ex footballer and their opinions are generally shit as it is.

His opinion is totally irrelevant.
 
If we don’t do it, we still have to pay him that same amount but at the same time have him around the squad causing more harm than good. Sometimes you have to cut your losses for the greater good.
Issue is we have been doing this for some time now. We need to take a stand and stop players from doing this in future.

Three paragraphs telling us how fecking brilliant he is without a fecking apology :lol:
 
Hope everyone is keeping in mind that his PR team wrote his message on social media. Damage limitation and nothing more. Ronaldo will always be a special player in my memory but I'll never forget it was always him before Manchester United.

I really don't follow these points. Surely people realize that Ronaldo isn't in his prime anymore and that no self respecting club or manager would start him in spite of thinking that he is the best option. From that point he is a squad player. If such context is humiliating then Ronaldo should retire or play for a lesser club. That's what most if not all players do, including legends of the game. They either leave at a high level or accept their new condition.
 
To quote to a truly legendary Captain: His ego is writing checks his body can't cash.
 
Highly unlikely. Does he not call anyone who doesn't adore Ronaldo a 'hater'?

What did he say?
Glazers' fault for not letting him go.
Is it? We agreed to sell him but literally nobody wanted him.
He hasn’t a clue mate.
Sure, no one wanted our player of the season :lol: also the intervention with SAF doesnt fit in this narrative. Most likely scenario was he was stopped from leaving because there was no fee or he'd move to a competitor.

Just one guy who left in a huff siding with another guy who left in a huff.

It's just social media contet, not football analysis. Sadly the lines are getting blurred.

Probably should be posting a nobody’s opinion.

Piers’ tribute to Robbie Coltrane dying last week was linking to a 10 year old article he’d written about Coltrane wanting to punch him which made Morgan look like fecking Batman. He can feck off too - two narcissistic peas in a pod of bellends. No wonder they love each other.

Still doesn't give him the right to stomp off the pitch. He is supposed to be professional and whatever issues he has should be dealt with behind closed doors.

Also, no one wanted our player of the year, because we had a shite session last year and Ronaldo is another year older and gets half a million to kick a ball in the net.

Do you have any links where is confirmed that he had an offer and we blocked it? All we can see is multiple clubs coming and saying that they do not need Ronaldo.
 
That apology was like his season so far, a whole lot of nothing really..

I do hope he knuckles down, ten Hag accepts the apology and that we can all move on. I know he's on a ridiculous salary but he could still have some role this season, preferably as an impact sub like against Arsenal earlier in the season.

Who wanted to pay for him and pay his current wage?

Marseille, Napoli, Atletico all came out and said they wouldn’t sign him. Everybody was turning him down.
It only happened a few months ago, you can’t have forgotten already!
Edit we don’t even want our player of the season
 
My respect for ETH just increases and increases

Back that man and get him a striker or whoever he wants in January (Gakpo?)

And than either cut Ronnie straight out and terminate contract or wait until January to get him out, don't care either way

Last season was shit but seeing him back scoring and so on gave some joy and nostalgia, should have left last summer with some respect but now we are here and the club like the rest of football world needs to move on. Days of him and Messi dominating and being the talk of town are over
 
I know I can be a bit old school but I thought apologies usually contained words like apology, sorry, regret, pardon, wrong etc. I didn't realise spouting a load of meaningless hot air while trying to fob off what you've done is how you do it these days.
 
Just let him go on a free already. I'm sick of it.

'Mutual termination', or something.
 
He is on 500k a week. Nobody who could afford him wanted him. Because he's aging and the inevitable shit he brings, like last night. Goldbridge is an actual idiot.
I highly doubt he didnt want to take a paycut. I think someone that has achieved goat status cares more about playing than sitting on a bench for a fraction of his net worth.

He is indeed, but broken clock and all.
 
What did he say?

More or less;

That it's the Glazers fault.

Ronaldo should have been allowed to leave but the Glazers ruined it because they wanted some sort of fee.

There were lots of clubs in for Ronaldo but nobody was willing to pay any kind of fee for him.

Ten Hag intentionally disrespected Ronaldo because Ten Hag said last week that bringing him on vs City would have been disrespectful so leaving him on the bench is also disrespectful.

He backs the manager in his disrespectful treatment of Ronaldo ( who is only acting out because he's being made stay against his will) and he could see this coming a mile away so he feels that the Glazers should have allowed Ronaldo to leave for free because Ronaldo's an elite professional and therefore it's all on them.

More or less...
 
Now that Ronaldo has pulled out when Ten Hag was asking him to come, I really think their relationship is untenable

You have an incredibly short memory it seems. Mendes was shopping him around the whole of Europe and not one team was willing to take him. Multiple teams came out and said they weren’t interested at the figures being quoted. Which top tier team would sign someone Ronaldo’s age at his wages and needs to have the team built around them?
 
The reason he didn’t want to come is to not make his goals to games any worse.

Yeah but nobody was in for him.

As I thought. Goldbridge is dumb as feck on actual football matters. He's a constant stream of shite so he'll be a solid youtuber for life.

The reason was literally nobody wanted to pay his wages. You can keep finding reasons to blame anyone but Ronaldo for this, but eh only reason he didn't move this summer was because he was refusing a pay cut. He wanted the Man United Salary while playing for someone else.
