Barca will be fuming.
Have any articles / quotes? Keen to see what they said. Mental to be backing Ronaldo at this stage.
Just facilities? The whole way the club is run. That's why you are lagging behind other top European clubs.
True, but his face would be priceless.
100%.
I feel like a smart club would have things like this set out in the contracts as a breach.
And his Bachelor's Degree in watching people get punched in the head allowed him to spread "false and societally harmful assertions" during the Pandemic.
I think it's a brilliant idea. Now if Elon Musk can offer to pay half his wages and another company the other half, if he can play for Roma? It's prime time television and twitter. If also they agree to appoint Trump as an honorary Chairman?
I think a smart club would wait until they actually see what he’s said to assess if it is a breach of his contract before sacking him and opening themselves up to a huge lawsuit.
The problem for me is that I can see him moving to Sporting and we have a no nonsense manager as well. It will be problematic.You could try, but he might leave the stadium at half time if you don't start him
I am not sure that legally he did something wrong. Especially something based on which we can sack him
This is why this whole thing is so bizarre. If Ronaldo was posting Haaland numbers and playing out his skin, these kind of comments would have some weight (there’d be a legitimate argument that he is too good a player for a club who aren’t in the CL) but as it stands he’s not even good enough to be our second choice sub striker. On pure footballing ability (i.e. ignoring the revenue he generates through him being a global brand) I don’t think he’d start for a single PL club.
I don't think he can go to the States because of his legal case.
Wayne should slap him like a bitch.
Who says they don’t?
I guess its literally the first time a manager has dared to bench him or bring him on as a late sub.
I'm sure there will be specific clauses in any players contract that says they must act however way the clause states (ie. general employment rules of what behaviour is expected of any employee - perhaps more so of a professional sportsman) - Ronaldo broke the rules 3 odd weeks ago and got fined 2 weeks wages. I'm sure they'll do the same this time, if not more.
…..?
Read somewhere he said to Ronaldo to come to the States and tell him all that to the face.
Post it!
Can you be specific about what the training facilities lack for a footballer to be the best version of himself?
Yeah it feels like Ronaldo had a plan to do this after the Brentford defeat and has had no awareness of anything that has happened since.
Yes and they inspected the lax wording of Ronaldo's contract at the same time.
It has been widely reported that the facilities had been upgraded since he complained and that those upgrades are still ongoing.
Haha yes, love the he's right about the facilities posts.
It started during the pre-season which should have been all about our new start under Ten Hag, and then it became all about why Ronaldo wasn't there.
You’re right and as many of us highlighted last season, his overall performance was detrimental to the whole team structure and players around him. The team scored way fewer goals overall and conceded way more. Managers openly mocked how easy it was to build up against United last season because of the lack of pressing. Goals were solving problems he created himself. This season he’s not even scoring or finishing chances, just creating problems.
There’s stories going back years of England players going to St. George’s for treatment because of the better facilities. Obviously I don’t know the specifics but it’s definitely an area that hasn’t been given the tlc it should. I’d imagine it’s similar to Old Trafford in that it’s not atrocious but there are cracks showing.
Well it's come out before that our facilities are about 15 years out of date,not to mention that leaking roof and old looking stadium
That's obviously not a real quote. Would be a glorious response though.
