If we truly did sign Ronaldo at the behest of some of our sponsors, perhaps those same sponsors could now do us a favor and speak up about not wanting to have their name associated with this utter donkey any longer.
Seriously... look at the way other teams have dealt with underperforming players / bad signings, regardless of cost (Chelsea - Lukaku Werner, Barca - Coutinho, Griezman, City - Sane (plus several others), us - when SAF cleaned house every 4-5 years) DON'T KEEP THEM AROUND!!! We should have re-learned this lesson from when we failed to sell Pogba 2-3 years ago (would have made back most of his former world record transfer fee instead of getting nothing for nothing). So it baffles me that we have any desire to hang on to McGuire at this stage.
