Mourinho or Sergio Conceição would have definitely get rid of Ronaldo but I think we will be stuck with Martinez for a while.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I don’t think anyone sane was ever in any doubt that Ronaldo has only ever been in it for himself. He’s been a massive twat his entire career. A petulant child with a galactic ego. He was able to get away with it because of his prodigious scoring ability, but sometime around 5-6 years ago his mobility started to go and he became something of a problem for every team he played for. Because even when he was still scoring goals, he was so static and lazy off the ball that he made teams play worse. And that was when he was still capable of 30-35 goals a season at the top level.
He’s now at the point where he’s dropped to semi-pro level to keep scoring the goals and be allowed to play the diva in every match. Flapping his arms about and whining, and in Saudi Arabia that’s okay. Every game is just a Harlem Globetrotters style exhibition circus without spectators. But he’s carried that on to the elite international stage and made clowns out of himself and his manager. Although the lack of testes on Martinez to pick him in the first place, let alone give him back to back 120 minute appearances, would suggest he’s every bit the clown Ronaldo has made him look.
Laughable to think that Jota, Ramos and Neto received zero minutes in that match, and Bruno Fernandes was hauled off instead of this mummified baby-dicked prima Donna.
He's now played 21 knockout matches in the Euros and the World Cup and scored 3 goals. At the highest level, in the biggest matches, when the pressure is really on, he doesn't deliver.
Still have to put him right up there all time because of all he's achieved, but it's an incontrovertible fact at this stage.
It's much easier when it's not your fault. Today he did his job. Do you imply that he's not unhappy?
Absolutely shite. His ship has sailed.
He missed a sitter from 6 yards though. He didn't do his job.
A burden for Portugal as expected before the start of the tournament. No goal in 5 games with two extra-time is terrible when you're useless on the pitch otherwise. A missed pen against Slovenia, a huge chance missed tonight and nowhere to be found on a few really good crosses from his teammates. He looked like a sunday league player in there.
No matter how little he does on the pitch, once he is selected for the squad, you simply have to play him.
The media attention and drama caused by dropping him would be very difficult for any manager to cope with.

He didn’t do his job. He missed a sitter in ET. He was nonexistent the rest of the game. And he deferred to France for penalties so they can go first. But sure since he scored a penalty he did his job?
The documentary about the psyche and downfall is going to be phenomenal viewing.
I wasn't anywhere near there
I don't know who it is, but it's certainly not the manager who decides when Ronaldo plays.
I'm doubtful that it's Ronaldo either. It looks like a money decision. Some guys in suits at the Portuguese FA will have done the sums. Ronaldo increases income for them. It comes from above.
I always wondered how Martinez got the gig. He's a puppet. That's the only way it makes any sense to me.

How will personal spokesman MrEleson spin this one, I thought he was still better than Haaland.
Homelander lost his powers 2 years ago and everyone is still suffering with so much PTSD from having to put up with his man child behaviour they don't realise there is nothing forcing them now.
There are people still defending this man after last night's match. Starting to look like a cult...
