sorted byUnlike most people in that scenario, and despite being on the slide ability and performance wise, he'll then probably go to a pre-retirement home for footballers, otherwise known as the Saudi, Chinese or US leagues, get paid even more money as a 'marquee' signing, amble around the pitch for a year and then eventually retire.
However, despite all of this, and s with so many other sportsmen, politicians and celebrities, he is so out of touch with the average person that his sense of self-entitlement and lack of humility knows no bounds.
I mean, the poor bloke feels 'betrayed' by the club who is playing him £500k a week. When one thinks of what is going on in the world, how some people don't even have access to clean water, wouldn't you feel ashamed to use such ridiculous language and hyperbole ?.
Sadly the media and lots of people lap this up - when to me such people (and there's so many of them) should be treated as pariahs.
Messi has 2 more Ballon D'ors to his name and Ronaldo won't ever equal that, never mind beat it.
I'm a thorough Man United fan, he was sublime on his first term at the club.
The 2nd term and current one seems like it was all romantic to start with and it has now become a disaster. His air of self entitlement is incredible along with his stroppy tantrums and ridiculous attitude.
Just a pure full on narcissistic diva really and the squad and manager are much better off without him in the club. He's out of touch completely.
I am thinking two things, one is to boot him out of the club, the other is to fine him massively and put him in the reserve team for the rest of the season then kick him out.
Nobody is bigger than a club.
For me, I have lost all respect for him and so have many of my fellow united supporters.
No idea who he thinks he slating everyone and his ex-colleagues too.
I've read that Beckham might be interested in signing him for Miami, but they also have Messi as their No 1 target too, it would be interesting seeing how that one pans out.
I'd love to know what Fergie now thinks of him.
ETA: Piers Morgan will be revelling in all this drama, brown nosing Ronaldo like he does is almost putrid to watch.
If he really feels that way then just walk away, I once had a major disagreement with my employer just as my probation period was ending, I stood my ground, ended up failing my probation on the basis of "failing to obey a reasonable management instruction" and in doing so effectively risked my entire career. Fortunately for me it proved to be the best thing I ever did, but it could have ruined me, and by standing my ground I acted contrary to the advice of everyone around me - however sometimes principles are more important than cashing a pay cheque.
And what to me only makes this particular situation even worse is that he has experienced personal tragedy earlier this year (the death of his new-born son), so you'd think that might have given him some degree of perspective and grounding.
It particularly galls me as exactly 9 months ago today my wife (and unborn child) were tragically killed. Aside from the grief and despair that will haunt me for the rest of my life, and our families, I'm self-employed and we weren't millionaires so I've had to carry on - quite frankly I've no idea why because I've lost the person who was my world, and every day, whilst I somehow make it through, I wail and rant to the sky about why god/fate/whatever took her from me.
I say that not because I want others to pity me, but because it puts into perspective how absolutely morally bankrupt it is of someone in his position, who should have some grasp of what tragedy and a feeling of betrayal (in term of fate/god/whatever taking his new-born son from him) really is, to use such ridiculous language (and be given the platform to do so).
He most certainly should have left in the summer and in hindsight he shouldn't have returned. His behaviour this season has been very disrespectful not only to the manager but also the other players and now the fan's. Walking off before the end, refusing to come on as a sub etc.. his performances have been very poor too. Put virtually zero effort in. His last appearance v Villa he was made captain, I don't know how he can suggest ETH has disrespected him. Manchester United play better without him in the team.
The interview exposes nothing that we didn't already know really. Maybe the timing isn't great, It should have been delayed because the focus should have been on Garnacho! not Cristiano who sadly thinks he's bigger than Manchester United. He most certainly isn't. Manchester United gave Cristiano Ronaldo a platform and it was a match made in heaven the first time around but his return will sadly be marred by this.
I'll always regard Ronaldo as the greatest player the world has ever known but his time is up.
Goes on to complain about his entire squad, manager and hierarchy.......
Clueless.
Could be a bit harsh but that was my immediate reaction
He isn't complaining for himself.
He's compplaining for the team that he loves
The sooner he's gone the better as the team plays better without him anyway.
