Mentioned somewhere on here the other day I read in one of the fanzines at the Brighton game that rightly or wrongly, this has been the case since he returned this summer. Word was mood was good until 'he came back' or something similar.
Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

This idea is absolute horseshit as well. I know you're not saying it, I'm just saying that this notion that the man "deserves" CL, or he "deserves" better is ridiculous. He was part of a team that failed to qualify for the CL and qualified for the EL instead. That's what he deserves.
Yes and Jesus is the most famous person to ever live. I am talking about people alive.
Michael Jackson is very famous.
"Followers are irrelevant" is a very strange statement when discussing how well known someone is.
What are you talking about
people absolutely do put LeBron above Michael. That’s even how I, as a non follower of basketball, found out that the LeBron James vs MJ argument even is a thing.Unless you go much older the impact would be negligible. Not the same for everyone I know, but 40 is way too early to start talking about generations knowing who someone is or not. If you are talking 80 or 90 possibly. But plenty of 60 or 70 year olds have Netflix etc. Anyway, this is going way way off topic now.
But she doesn’t have any Instagram followers!
I think that you overestimate the internet. For example Scarlett Johansson generates more money than both Tom Cruise and Dwayne Johnson, she is as famous if not more and yet by your initial metric she is below Dwayne Johnson or Ronaldo. We both know that it's nonsense the same way you know that Kylie Jenner isn't more famous than Johansson, Rihanna or Beyoncé.
Your metrics are obviously flawed and it's not even subtle.
I said about 40 that includes the people that are 100 years old and the point is that someone that was famous in their adulthood is still famous for them. That's why longevity matters.Unless you go much older the impact would be negligible. Not the same for everyone I know, but 40 is way too early to start talking about generations knowing who someone is or not. If you are talking 80 or 90 possibly. But plenty of 60 or 70 year olds have Netflix etc. Anyway, this is going way way off topic now.
Okay I exaggerated by saying it’s irrelevant but you’re using it as the SOLE metric
She is in films that generate money (one specific franchise) I would not say she is one of the top 2 actors in the majority of those movies. That would be Robert Downey Jr and then probably Chris Hemsworth.
Here you go guys, I've created a thread so you can discuss who's the most famous person on the planet This thread seems to be going off topic a bit: https://www.redcafe.net/threads/whos-the-most-famous-well-known-celebrity-on-the-planet.472431/
It is a very important metric. I have mentioned many others in this thread.
Yep. It was the key thing that got us 2nd I think. There was clearly a togetherness in the squad that died a death last season.
Yeah - true.
He wasn't forced to come back to United - he willingly signed the contract.
And if he thought United were on the very verge of taking over the world again - well, he was a bit naive, let's say.
He's the most famous non-mythical human to have ever lived tbh, people in every single continent would've been able to recognize him while he was alive
Yes; PP was out, Greenwood out, Cavani wanting to leave, Jessie wanting to leave Rashford off, Martial wanting out Henderson alledgedly promised no1.. A lot of issues and alledgedly broken promises.

Bruce Jenner is her father or maybe her mother now.. I don't know...
I want Ronaldo to leave but I do agree with this.
Ronaldo AND the people complaining about Ronaldo both need to leave. What a spineless team we have.
Ok, good for you. As someone that doesn't know anything about basketball, it's on odd thing to wade in on. My friends do follow basketball and none of them have LeBron higher than Michael Jordan.What are you talking about
This isn’t my opinion, this is what I’ve seen people who do follow basketball say.
Maybe Newcastle would be interested?
I can't remember ever seeing him ever write anything remotely insightful and most information he does provide is piggybacked off what somebody else has already written.He's not even close to being the worse source in football
He's not your gutter tier Daily Star, Express etc but of those who are actually paid to report on Man Utd he's one of the worst.
Super. Are you confused? As I've already said, I have several friends who follow basketball from the same generation as you and none of them have LeBron James over Michael Jordan. That's it.
Yes, exactly.
How many people in the world have never - ever - had anything to do with social media (which is a very new phenomenon, relatively speaking)?
(I don't have the answer - I don't think anyone does, and it will be just an estimate, but I think even the estimate would be shocking to some.)
How many of those people (who have never - ever - had anything to do with social media) would recognize the name of - say - "Donald Trump", "Joe Biden" or - yes, why not - "Michael Jackson"?
That's where you should start - and then look further into how likely it is that those people would recognize "Cristiano Ronaldo" over "Donald Trump" (or "Michael Jackson", for that matter). And then - yes, of course - you can also look into how many of the non-social media demographic would actually recognize Ronaldo (many of them undoubtedly would).
Anyway, the point is that how many followers Ronaldo has on Instagram is an extremely doubtful indicator if what we want to establish is how objectively "known" he is (that is, how many individuals on this planet are able to identify him by name or image).
My guess would be that he is - by reasonable/relevant/mostly accepted standards - very well known. But I would be surprised if he's more known - across the globe - than even someone like Joe Biden.
mazhar13 has him as a tier 2 source and I have a lot of faith in mazhar13
The spiel is now that moving Ronaldo on would be akin to the purchase of another player due to the lift in spirits in the camp. So we'll now have Eriksen, Malacia, Martinez and (ex) Ronaldo. So 4 signings surely better than 3?!?
This is a chance for Ten Hag to wipe the slate clean and stamp his authority on the team. But it's not just Ronaldo that's got to go. There's still going to be a bad aura around the place.
Get the feeling we'll agree to terminate his contract in a week or 2 only to have him sign with Chelsea on a free
You tell me. Its certainly not by being one of the most famous people on the planet. Much of the developing world wouldn't have even heard of this person. Shows how mhch of a cocoon people in the west often are.
Wouldn't the club have to pay a fee or the wages to terminate it. e wouldn't it be cheaper to just loan him out this year and get someone to agree to take a part of the wage.Get the feeling we'll agree to terminate his contract in a week or 2 only to have him sign with Chelsea on a free
Not all 'famous' superheroes wear capes!!
Back on topic, and apologies if this has been mentioned previously, but would Mendes/Ronaldo not have sought out an exit strategy if United failed to qualify for the ECL, and had this written into the contract?
Just appears to be a huge cop-out/after though on Ronaldo's part.
Part? We shouldn’t be paying a penny.
Well the actual young players like garnacho has been posting Ronaldo a lot during this period with the goat caption, so it’s safe to say that Ronaldo’s presence hasn’t been negative for him at the very least
Note: Edu Aguirre is a close friend of Ronaldo’s.

It will just be the weak willed, fragile players like McGuire and Rashford who cant step up.
From a twitter account named TeamCRonaldo. Believable
If Chelsea took him, he would score a bag full. ETH and the club would look foolish, especially if the form we are showing doesn't not dramatically improve.Get the feeling we'll agree to terminate his contract in a week or 2 only to have him sign with Chelsea on a free
