Ferguson, does not want to talk to Ronaldo
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has decided against travelling to Lisbon tomorrow for showdown talks with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Mail on Sunday says Sir Alex was due to fly to Lisbon for what would have been the first meeting between the pair since the furore about 23-year-old Ronaldo’s links with Real Madrid blew up in the European Championship finals.
Tomorrow’s get-together had been regarded as vital to clear the air and bring the Madrid saga to an end. Instead, Ferguson will stay in Manchester to push ahead with his attempt to sign Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov and supervise the squad departing on Wednesday for a three-match tour of South Africa.
A source close to the club said: “The manager was hoping to sort things out with Ronaldo but that will now have to wait until the team get back “
Ronaldo’s attitude has hardened United’s resolve to make him honour at least part of the three years left on his contract.
“Nobody twisted his arm to sign the contract. He was happy to do that and can’t just change his mind on a whim,” added the source.
My Thoughts
Ronaldo and Ferguson to part ways soon
Now Alex Ferguson has also joined this little play called “The Ronaldo Saga”or”The Ronaldo Chronicles, I think we’ll stay with the former. So now Ferguson is playing mind games with Ronaldo as well, making Cristiano Ronaldo a bit nervous about this whole thing.
Up till now Ronaldo thought that he had Ferguson right where he wanted him as he refused to meet Ferguson or even attend his phone call. Now, I think, Ferguson has done this deliberately to make Ronaldo think about his future at Manchester United. Perhaps giving an indication that he is not the boss anymore. May be Ferguson wants to apprise Ronaldo of his ever decreasing popularity among the united fans.
I think its safe it to say, Ronaldo’s deterioting popularity among the English fans has not gone unnoticed as nobody is amazed over Ronaldo’s behavior over the last two months after the season end for Manchester United. Or even more so after his “Blatter support” comments.
Ferguson wants to settle this with Ronaldo now I think, Ferguson wants to put an end to this. Inside, I think Ferguson knows that Ronaldo wants to play for Real Madrid to get his name in the history books, ever since tha World Cup 2006 happened with Ronaldo, I think Ferguson always had this fear that Ronaldo might be waiting for that perfect moment to leave Manchester United.
Perfect moment for Ronaldo would be like, the perfect moment where he can become the most expensive player of all time and his departure from Old Trafford might also disturb and disrupt the balance of Alex Ferguson’s squad. Now Ferguson knows that his main man does not want to play for Manchester United anymore.
I think we all know, it will not be the same if Ronaldo does decide to stay at Old Trafford. Fans would not admire him like the way they did last season, when Ferguson and co, defended every little cheap trick C.Ronaldo played of opponents defenders in trying to get them a send off card.
I think Ronaldo is going to regret what he has done so far after the end of the last season for the rest of his life. I hope Real Madrid sign him, use him then dispose him. I do not think he is a club player, he will go wherever, money will lead him, mind you, nobody is going to pay Ronaldo what Real Madrid would pay so if he leaves Real Madrid, assuming he joins Real Madrid this season, atleast he wont leave Real Madrid for money. May be for fame, in a sense that he would want to win trophies in every league or every major club, who knows that might be on of C.Ronaldo’s career aims.
Whatever happens, now Alex Ferguson is taking none of this Ronaldo crap. I think it’s about time, Ferguson sets things straight and end this saga either by throwing Ronaldo out or making him stay by means of a improved contract.
