I was listening to Gary Cook (new executive chairman with City) and who is a former Nike executive - sounds like there is a chance that the 25 million pound deal with Nike could be in jeopardy if Ronaldo leaves - so there is a further twist in the tale. That would have to be dealt with as part of any transfer...

Here's the article.

It's also being said that United could suspend him without pay, if he continues with his threat to go on strike.

And there it is.
The Nike side of the deal intrigues me - I didn't think they'd be happy if their football brand leader joined a team synonymous with adidas. Kind of like the Beckham situation in reverse (adidas wanted Becks to move from United)

the sun really do try and twist everything to sell papers, now they think they have got proof of real madrid trying to tapp up ronaldo.
1 it was walter di salvo a finess coach not a board director or anything like that.
2 he wa at united before and is a close freind of ronaldo.
3 they have no proof of what was said, it was just freinds meeting eachother and saying hello.
united have no proof as we havnt done anything wrong, most of it has been paper talk and nothing more.
anyway its hypecriticall of them to report us hopefully everyother club that they have done this to will report them as well.

Ok, lets get this straight. The only words anyone has actually heard Ronaldo say was "I stay!" right after the Champs final. since then i have seen nothing from Ronaldo other than a piss off Im trying to get ready for a big tournament.
Everything else has come from Pro-Madrid press. They want Ronaldo, they are the only people responsible for this circus. I have no issue with the Madrid staff answering questions put too them by the media, which is what they have been doing.
whether or not Marca like Calderon is irrelevant, they like Madrid and they want Ronaldo playing there. They also know that the club wants him too and might be willing to fork over the stupid cash required to get Man Utd too sell.
Are there pay offs with large sums of cash in little paper bags? probably not, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that they are reporting this bull**** as fact and Marca should be held accountable for that. but UEFA and FIFA have no jurisdiction over Marca other than they could deny Marca press passes to any football under their sphere of influence, either way they need to be pulled up for this crap they are pulling.
Now this isn't to say that other teams haven't done the very same thing or other newspapers haven't. but what is worrying is the way its is starting to blow out of all proportions. we need to put a stop to this, its not good for the clubs, players or fans. you just need to look at these boards to see how its blow up. I dont want bull****, i want the truth.

Well let us revisit your statement there. That is not the only thing he has said on the matter ok, that is the only thing which apparently a number of Man U fans choose to hear. I still find incomprehensible, that you guys dont look at one single determining factor.....He could have ended this A LONG TIME AGO!... but he has chosen not to, truly he is playing games with all the parties involved as far as i am concerned....like for example, in the LIVE press conference yesterday he said when asked if he liked the uni's Portugal wore "I like wearing white....in the national team" He has shown himself ironic and rather silly about the matter, waiting for God know's what, instead of just saying it outright, yes, I want to stay in Manchester.....
like I have said before, last summer things with Kaka were the same way, and Marca would do this and that, and guess what? Kaka himself came out and clearly said (early on!) I am staying in Milan, no thanks...that is all Ronaldo has to do so that we can ALL move on to the other important matters at hand...
also I hear Man U have placed offers on the table for Robihno 45 mill and Sergio Ramos for 65 Mill...hear anything about that?

BBC say according to reports in Spain, United have/will insist on Robinho and Ramos as part of any deal for Cristiano (if indeed they feel it is best to let him go) But I stress this is paper talk. And if United did accept a swap - I'd want them to get Wesley Sneijder too!
Kaka said on Italian radio last week that he would welcome the chance to play for Man Utd - of course Milan slapped a "not for sale" notice on him immediately - paper talk again probably. Although if a radio interview did take place then there will be a tape somewhere.
Also about Cristiano, the fact he's joking like that clearly suggests to me he has no idea of what he's doing to Man Utd and it's fans. I agree he should have said categorically whether he's staying or going. That's what annoys me.

By other teams, I presume you also mean Manchester United too.
What puzzles me though about your rant, is that it's only now, now that your club looks like losing the player that IS your team, that suddenly you are angry and sick and tired of these underhand dealings. That is hypocrisy of the highest order mate. You didn't care a sh1t when your club were at it, but now you think it has to stop.
If your stance was not so patheticly transparent, it would be funny mate.
Ronaldo could have stopped all this crap before it had even started, if he had wanted to remain at Man U. He could have said "I am going nowhere", and that would have killed the momentum that Marca for instance, latched onto.
Ronaldo is messing with everyone in this situation, and is showing NO respect to his club or his clubs fans. He has indeed stated that he does want to play for Real Madrid, and from his own lips, we have heard that. So, the villian of the piece here is Ronaldo. He is everything that you knew he was but would not admit to yourselves, and he is taking Man U and their fans for <unts.
He is the one to be angry with, instead of blaming it all on a Real Madrid fanzine like Marca. Get real FFS.
