Start debating about the first lineup of Manutd players for the first game against newcastle for the new season withouth Ronaldo inlvolved,there is trouble and only trouble surrounding this guy,Man utd is a very big club with great history and pride,loosing Ronaldo will be very damaging for the club and the way it has been dealing with its star players since long,as far as i know United never sold their star player withouth thier own will.
Ronaldo has become a great player,he wants to move on,and he also wishes to fulfil his mothers desire,he won things are OT,now he wants to do it elsewhere,there is a feeling that he is also worried that United wont carry on as successfull as 2008,Unsecure about how Chelsea are spending,there is a better chance of winning trophies at Real than United because of how touch it has become to win things at EPL because of the money that club owners spend on players,especialy Chelsea,the margine was little this time between teams competing for the title,next season it would be even tougher for the reason that the clubs are already spending alot,new emerging clubs like Spurs and ManCity are spending big to compete with others..At spain the usual ones fighting for the title would be Real,Barca,Valensia and so on.If you look at it,Manutd will have to fight harder to win the title again,while Real wont have to do as much as United to win the title,because of the easiness of the league and the clubs involved.
I wont say coward because he is running away from the tougher challenge but understandable,if he wishes to win things at other places then why not,let him go.75mils is enough money to buy good players.
The main battle is about pride,United never sold their star players and they arent selling club,and Ronaldo is also a very profitable economically ,his presence at OT can only benefit the club,just like becks..
But there is something going on and it is not good,if you are talking about protecting the pride of the club then i would say lets not sell the player,and if not then sell him,he doesnt luv it here why force him.
