Interesting to think about -- aside from Sir Alex during his formative years, were there any 'tactical' coaches Ronaldo played and enjoyed his time under? Ancelotti, Pirlo, Ole, Zidane are the man-management types who probably indulged him. Mourinho, ten Hag, Sarri, and Rangnick all had issues with him as you'd imagine wanted him to do certain things from a constructive perspective.
Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement
- Thread starter Idxomer
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

That should have been one very large red flag. Just shows we didn't bother watching any videos.Sanchez too.
But best part was about Harry when Pep said ; "he is fast, really fast"

What in the seven hells. In what world is he expecting to get support for these statements? He’s just burning bridges while looking extremely bad.
All true. This is an obvious ploy to get out of United.
Personally I'm not fussed. I just don't want to see United paying him off. Give him a free transfer, its what he wants. However, no compensation. If he doesn't like those terms he can take the Winston Bogarde approach to fulfilling his contract.
The Athletic (Mitten and the gang) talking about the interview and Fulham away.
Geez, just suspend him without wages until further notice already.
Thing is ETH knows Pep and will not be drawn in.
Hang on has this interview actually aired yet?
I think even he is off the Trump bandwagon at this point...
There is also the massive difference that Evans could do his job with such an illness, and as mentioned, he went to the pub not sitting on a couch talking.
Oh I know. But that interview looks like it’s being performed in a home to me, and in all likelihood Ronaldo’s himself. It’s a moot point really, my only issue is with those stating for a fact that there’s a fake illness when there’s zero proof of that
They will be discussing it with their solicitors regarding what they can and can't do under employment laws. I would bloody sack him on the spot.
I believe that you are the one not thinking. The comparison while extremely silly was from Blatter and based on the idea that Ronaldo was denied a move. It's just a silly hyperbole which is a figure of speech, saying that you do not respect your manager is not a figure of speech.
Club statement. Basically saying we are going to fire him if this interview is as bad as expected.

Wednesday. Just clips for now.
What are you talking about?
Should United fans just not react to him pissing on the club and manager? People don't like him and are expressing that. It's that simple.
There are no lines to read between. People laughing at twat being a twat.
Yeah. Bloody disaster. All these signings and the club patting themselves on the back on getting one over on City. Thank god Woodward has gone.
Good lord..
Ill leave this here for you and just chalk it down to a bad memory. Give your head a wobble lad.

Liverpool fans always have to make it about them
Morally yes, but not in today's media landscape.

He's done
He had to stay as he gave us very little notice he wanted to go in the summer so didn't give us enough time to sell him and get a replacement. If he wasn't happy say at the end of last season.
Certainly comes across that way, though firing him could be messy legally. Imagine it may be similar to Aubamayang's situation at Arsenal where he trains alone and does interact with any of the players at Carrington until we sell him or terminate his contract by mutual consent.
Yup. Legally, United probably need to see the whole thing to act without paying him off. The club's lawyers will want the full quotes in context, so they can make the case for bringing the club into disrepute and fire him without severance.
Maybe but this is a nothing statement.
Is this your top 4 prediction?
I did find that funny though. Ronaldo is on another planet and has no grasp on the reality for most people.Liverpool fans always have to make it about them
A narcissist displaying narcissistic behaviour, are we surprised?
There is zero point to this interview other than to defect the blame of his faltering powers onto anyone/anything other than himself. It's a desperate attempt to convince the world that he's not the one falling apart, it's the the club.
Once a truly great player but he's always been a prize cock!

Of course it is, it is designed that way, club needs to acknowledge the existence of the news.today without overplaying it's hand.
It has to be. Lawyers are the only people doing any work at Old Trafford today.
As I said before, far past the stage of anger.
Everybody with half a brain saw this coming.
He tried to force a way out in the summer. Now he is forcing a way out in January and is using any means necessary.
Goodness..
We've literally had months of media coverage on Qatar migrant workers being the modern day slavery.
Some of you lot are really twisted up and have the blinders on today over this interview.
So, where will he be forcing a move to in Jan? My understanding is that no other club is interested plus Sporting flopped in the CL.
I would love it if we are somehow legally allowed to suspend him without pay until february 1st, and terminate the contract from that date. Meaning he'll get 0 pounds from us until then - and that he'll be without a club for the rest of the season afterwards. Not sure how it would/could work - but we should at least try.
fecking hell it keeps getting worse.
fecking hell it keeps getting worse.
Well as you can see by the media reaction I am right. The slave quote for me was a reason he shouldn't have returned.Goodness..
What are actually trying to say in this thread? You're having a nightmare.
God, just tired of the circus. Get him out the door, close the chapter and we can move on. One of the greatest ever players, blah blah blah - now he's just a major irritation and sideshow from what we're actually trying to do as a team - to progress. The timing of his childish stunts shows the level of disregard he has for his teammates and the fans. Against Spurs - we're playing the best football in years - makes it all about him. We score a 93rd minute winner against Fulham, fans are elated - makes it all about him. In both situations his actions were unnecessary and badly timed.
Bye bye, Ronaldo.
Bye bye, Ronaldo.
Ronaldo didn't feature in the last two games because of some "illness" i presume the real reason is because of this known interview and suspended again?
Garnacho goal celebrations was interesting also. Against Sociedad he copied Ronaldos celebration and yesterday it was a copy of Messi holding up his shirt..
