He's going out like a because he's not the first option anymore. I'll be happy to see the back of him. When your only argument seems to be, "Sir Alex knows these guys suck", . . . YEs! We all know the Glazers suck. But the new coach is going to run the team the way that works for him. Seeing how badly the team crashed with Ragnick I'm not surprised Ronaldo didn't rate him. He's probably the one that spent a lot o time undermining him as well. I want some tape of the first Portugal practice since they seem to be in opposite camps in regards to Ten Hag.

They may just have to cover most of his wages and send him somewhere else for the rest of the season, or just burn it down with all of his merchandise. I like the guy, but this has been a case of the big kid trying to push around the new teacher and getting upset when the teacher has the backing of the principal this time. Some fans are pretending this may be enough to get the Glazers to sell, but they've already said they won't listen to a bid below $10 billion pounds. https://www.eurosport.com/football/world-cup/2022/cristiano-ronaldo-and-bruno-fernandes-handshake-at-portugal-training-played-down-as-a-joke-by-joao-m_sto9227810/story.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digby Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I was surprised he even made it past the summer window. Ten Hag didn't seem to rate him from the start. Too bad the Glazers probably overpaid a year ago and now are blinded by the sunk costs. 1 Quote Fan Style ShirtsShowcasing fan-made sports apparel by artists and designers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His weekly wages are massive and that's why he's not able to move where he wants to. Solve that and he's out the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of the best, but walking off during a game is not what great players should be doing. I like the guy, but he's decided that the coach should be beholden to him and that can't happen on any team, much less Manchester United.

I understand that one player of one coach etc is not bigger than any club but there was a rumour he asked to be taken off due to an injury he suffered at training during the week but the manager said no, so this led to him walking off. Personally i think we can let this one indifference slide as long as he doesn't do it again. Quote Logano wins BOWL before Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see the back of him. I don't think he did that interview just because he was upset. If that was the case, go talk to the manager in the office. If you think someone wants you gone, call them out instead of being opaque and giving titles that aren't even at the club. Now the question is, who are United planning to go get in January? Because they're going to have to do that now. Watching Gakpo yesterday, I'd love for them to bring him in now instead of waiting for summer, but I think any player they bring in will get the reverse of a going out of business price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't affect him at the World Cup, or probably any league other than the Premier League. So if he goes to Chelsea, he'll get an extra two games to rest up.

MJWalker45 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 22 hours ago, GDAWG said: We know the first factor, if these rumors are true, is the money, because if Saudi Arabia is paying him that much, it's probably also what Messi is getting, currently to represent Saudi Arabia, or to eventually play there too. That's why I wonder if the plan for Saudi Arabia is to see who else they can grab. They want to make Qatar look like small peanuts and this would help in that regard, but at what point does this blow up in their face? They've tried giving Tiger Woods over $700 million to go golf in the LIV tour, so they are fine throwing cash into the wind. Does Messi go over there too as a foil to Al Nassr? Who else gets a golden ticket? Zlatan? Pique? There aren't that many big name stars at the back end of their careers that can move the needle like that as well as elevate the league significantly. That's what you need to improve, significantly more of the middle level players that currently aren't there to help these types of players out. I don't think you can get Neymar, MBappe, Kane or any top European stars that are 32 and younger to go for it at the moment, because that kind of league would affect national team selections. Also, because those leagues in the Middle East are so far below the level of the EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, and Ligue A, those players risk affecting their form in international tournaments if they are still included. *I cut and pasted this from the North American Soccer chat, because it makes more sense to keep it over here. * 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 If they want the money, that's great. It just feels like the guys who take the Saudi and China money disappear from relevancy. 2 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
