Sepp Blatter And Why Cristiano Ronaldo Is No Darren Ferguson
SEPP Blatter, the FIFA president, is musing on Cristiano Ronaldo’s move from Manchester United to Real Madrid:
“I think in football there’s too much modern slavery in transferring players or buying players here and there, and putting them somewhere.”
The Sun is outraged and in “Sepptic Blatter” says the FIFA boss is a “disgrace”.
“To say that [Alex] Ferguson has treated the pampered multi-millionaire Ronaldo as a slave is a disgusting insult. Sir Alex has treated Ronaldo almost like a son…”
Almost, but not quite.
Ronaldo is being criticised – he says Blatter is “right”. The Sun says Ronaldo is “disgusting”.
This the Ronaldo, the PFA’s player of the year for the second straight season who passed George Best’s club-record 32 goals scored in a season by a winger, scoring 42 in all.
He’s no Darren Ferguson?
Sir Alex brought Darren through the youth ranks at United, where he made 27 first-team appearances over four years, though he failed to score. Never really covering himself in glory at Old Trafford, he was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1994 for £250,000. He spent half a season at Molineux before being loaned to Chelsea [rubbish before the money bought success] for six months, but was rarely used at Stamford Bridge.
He made 117 League appearances at Wolves before falling out of favour in 1999. He was briefly loaned abroad, helping Sparta Rotterdam to avoid relegation, before moving to Wrexham on a free transfer later that year. He went on to play 300 games for them, winning a promotion medal from the Third Division in 2002 and a winner’s medal from the LDV Vans Trophy in 2005.
Question: If Ronaldo played like Darren Ferguson would Sir Alex pick him..?

To worship at the feet of the Best, easy innit.

Gandy sweety pie,
why would he want to?
July 11th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
The Portuguese diver couldn’t lace Bests boots.

Gandy
Can’t see Ronaldo wrecking his liver, queue jumping for a transplant and then wrecking someone elses liver. His behaviour far over shadowed any genius he may have been on the football pitch. Shame really.

When the Portuguese pirler is Man U’s top scorer six seasons in a row he might be mentioned on the same page as the immortal Best, until then……he would run a fukin mile at the sight of a real defender…Smith Styles Hunter Gemmil Greig….fekkin sandancer.

Darren
But he shouldn’t be allowed to leave - unless he takes up that free transfer offer to Sunderland
July 11th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
he didnt meen he was litrually treated like a slave, he was just trying to get the point accross that ronny should be aloud to leave
July 11th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
it’s £120k a week according to what I read earlier, MrsT - poor wretched little bastard, you can’t help feeling like a kick up the arse and into reality would be a good idea at this point….
July 11th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
…or anyone else for that matter…no one messes with fucking Sir Alex fucking Ferguson.
July 11th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Oh to be a slave on £100,000 a week
July 11th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Bloody hell Anorak, you’ve got balls to be talking about Old Whisky Nose’s son. We all know how sensitive Sir Alex is about anyone talking about his kids…ask the BBC. Now the swearing Sir will never give you an interview and you can forget your chances of ever playing for Manyoo.
July 11th, 2008 at 10:41 am
Thanks for the piccy btw
July 11th, 2008 at 10:41 am
No but I would, and he can be my slave anytime … sigh
