NorthernLights Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) I see Ronaldo is now getting stuck into the Glazers... "Manchester are a marketing club - they get money from the marketing," "It will be hard for Manchester to be top of the game in the next two or three years." "The owners of the club, the Glazers, they don't care about the club, professional sport." He has a point but what part of "elite level" football is not driven by marketing these days? Ronaldo is one of the biggest marketing whores in football. You just need to look at his social media profiles to see the various brands, products and services he is endorsing.

MONKMAN Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ronaldo has played a blinder here, Man Utd were not going to sell him so he does this to all but guarantee his exit. Anyone surprised at the guy being a complete cock, hasn't really been paying attention to his career for any part of the last 20 years. If Man Utd had any form of backbone, they'd have him see out the rest of his contract rotting in the reserves. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's stating the obvious while ignoring the fact that the money from the marketing helps pay his obscene £500k a week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The irony in Cristiano Ronaldo slating the facilities at Man Utd being 20 years old and past their best, is somewhat lost on that idiot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this. Batter him with the kids and make their games prominent. He either turns up and performs or he wanders about doing nothing. He picks up his massive wage while the club openly ridicule him and his perceived greatness. Everyone's a winner baby, that's no lie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Ronaldo being a dick and ManU being a poorly run club aren't of course mutually exclusive. He's undoubtedly looking to force his way out of the club and he'll achieve that. As others have said it would be very funny if they just let him rot in the reserves. They won't though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I think he'll be so "impressed by the passion of the fans" in Qatar that he'll join a Qatari Super League side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I see Gary Cahill has retired... Not an immediate guy you think of when you think of top notch medal hauls, but an extremely impressive haul he has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Yeah, there are people raging he isn't in the England squad. There was no way they could have picked him with that hanging over him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor7 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Just finished watching the first part of the Ronaldo interview. His legacy is ruined at Man Utd. He deserves it just for doing an interview with Piers, who had his straw so far up his arse for the duration of it. Cringeworthy, and there is still a second part to come tomorrow night. No big club will take him, back to Portugal I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t be short of offers if clubs can meet his wage demands and they’re confident their facilities will meet his standards. 2 hours ago, Raidernation said: I'm very cynical, but I suspect HAD he been selected this would not have come to light until after the WC I reckon Southgate will have had a heads-up from the FA that this is looming and will have been advised not to select him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
