That seems such an insane request I just can't believe it!
Most likely the case with mendes leading the charge.
There have been multiple reports we would be open to letting him leave for free.
But clearly he is looking for a payoff to leave. Even after this debacle, I'm sure his team made sure he worded everything very carefully before doing this interview. Just to ensure he isn't in breach of his contract.
You should have continued and hear Rio speak. It’s like deeper nonsense
I doubt it. If he breached his contract, then the club should be allowed to terminate it. Ronaldo can of course take the club to court, but he'll lose then.
If it's a grey area then I reckon Ronaldo will be allowed to leave without pay. The alternative is him rotting in the reserves for half a year and he will not accept that.
Agreed. People kind of forgot that the first "organized" campaign by his camp was about Rangnick and also his potential wage cut if we don't make the CL, it was in January 2022.
The same Ronaldo that said we were treating him like a slave back in the day and fecked off to Portugal rather than sit on the bench when he wasn't selected for a game last season.
It's deliberately planned to be marginal I suspect. The worst that can happen is he gets sacked and his contract ripped up. If he's lucky he gets half a season at half a million a week. Of course if he cared about his reputation he wouldn't have done this so clearly he doesn't.
I wasn’t aware Romney’s status was dependant on Ronaldo
It happens all the time. You send a player who is in the last season of his contract on loan and pay most of his wages to get him out of the dressing room.
'Club sources indicate that Ronaldo's contract is different than a standard one, and an amendment was added at the bottom that said he was "free to chat shit without the risk of getting banged" - written in crayon by Ed Woodward.'
Madrid fans sometimes joke calling Florentino Pérez "The supreme being". But my god that man is a genius. He sold this crybaby for over a hundred million euros at age 33. Of course they missed his goals for a couple of seasons but they recovered and won the Champions League again without him. That's how it's done. Never let any player believe himself more important than the club.
I don't think the club have the gumption for legal proceedings.
He's a Narcissist he believes he's right.
I feel sorry for United’s lawyers having to watch Piers Morgan for two hours this week when it airs desperately trying to find grounds to dismiss 
As he’s in the last year of his contract and United have been so bad to him, why doesn’t he buy himself out of his contract
The only similar thing is their stage of decline
Keane was offering his opinion as a pundit for MUTV. But we all know now, Fergie as he often did knew he had to go, then he used it as means to just get him out. According to players who were there what he said it wasn't that bad. Nobody knows what he really said because the tapes were "destroyed".
Ronaldo has gone beyond the club and done a shit on a stick interview with a one of the biggest shit stirring cnuts out there who also happens to be his "friend" and who somehow has a massive audience to pedal this shite to.
From what I've seen of this it looks very calculated, is probably scripted and designed to force the club to act and either sell him to whoever will have him for nothing or release him.
Personally, I'd leave him to rot in the reserves for the rest of his contract, fine him 2 weeks wages everytime he's late or doesn't show up. He can then suck it up and do a Bogarde until June.
Ok.
So he's like a very successful but an infamous media personality and a total knob? Gotcha.
I have seen a few videos of him and he was kinda entertaining ngl. Did a good job in that interview with Ronaldo when he was at Juventus.
But Perez gave Bale that contract that nearly busted Madrid too
Indeed. IIRC even Materazzi was ok with it after years passed.
Very likely. One or two club presidents have said we would have to cover his wages. It shouldn't even be a factor at his new club if he's willing to end his contract. Why should he expect United's money to go play elsewhere? This is a disgusting situation. Ronaldo has been getting away with murder for a while.
He believes that all the time anyway. Presumably he has a team who planned all this carefully. And if he has a banging World Cup (which he will think he's going to) then he will be imagining gtting picked up by someone.
Here comes the Utd PR response after todays meetings.
Because he understands no team wants him without him taking a wage cut. So he wants his money regardless. This contract he's on right now is the last time he'll be paid as much as this in any top 5 league and he knows that.
Rio invites Carragher on and then proves his point immediately.
That show's absolutely terrible as well.
What would Materazzi not be ok with it? He played Zidane like a fiddle in that situation.
Hopefully Portugal win the World Cup with an all conquering Ronaldo.
Yeah it’s talk about disrespect etc without any substance. What Rios argument boils down to is Ronaldo wasn’t told he’d be brought on with 5 minutes to go at any stage during the season since that’s all they focus on.
This is madness
Check the timeline. Nearly all of Ronaldo's tantrums have come after games we won, our only crime was not fully involving him.
Totally agree with this. Why buy out his contract.
If we cannot get anyone to buy him, make him come in everyday to training then just tell him he can do whatever he wants until the session is finished.
Maybe he can go Instagram crazy,
Hopefully he gets so pissed off he quits.
Rightly so?
I can't believe Carra sounds more like a former United player than any of these United pundits. I still have a hard time digesting that.
'A second amendment was added which states that "should Ronaldo be prevented from walking out and keeping, not only his promised salary, but as many Mint Imperials from the sweetie bowl at the Carrington reception that he can carry he is allowed to sui the Glazers for £200 Million."'This is actually plausible. One last hoorah from our boy Woody
Didn't Rio miss a couple of drug tests that dropped us right in the proverbial and it emerged he was cheating on his wife for years until the mistress turned into a bit of a stalker. He is nobody to take the high ground. The club stood by him. He is in no position to be slagging United off.
Indeed. He's been actively trying to leave the club for six months, but has not found any takers and United are presumably more than happy to get rid of him in January. Ronaldo is not used to being rejected/discarded and is clearly struggling to come to terms with his own physical decline and the inevitable demise of his career as a top level player. We're witnessing a superego raging against the dying of the light.
My guess is yes. I don't think he'll ever set foot in OT again though, so we'll probably never find out.
What's annoying is the focus should be on the emergence/excitement of Garnacho but Ronaldo sucked all the energy out of the room
Yep and with Messi racking up the goals he'll cave in at the end and accept leaving without a payoff.
