ronaldo about to do an mbappe and buy his own contract out

He should of been let go in the summer. He wanted to go and Ten Hag didnt want him. The issue is the Glazers wanted money for him, they dont realise that because of how big his wages are, no one would be willing to take on his wages AND pay a token fee. The Glazers also didnt want to fork out 30 mil for Gakpo as ETH’s preferred replacement, so they told Ronnie and Erik to “figure it out”. Apart from Ronnie being unprofessional and disrespectful last game, I put the rest of the blame on the owners, board and John Murtogh.

So if he’s willing to buy out his contract, I call that a win for Ronnie, it will be a win for Ten Hag if the board fork out for a replacement using the money saved from Ronaldo’s wages, but knowing what absolute scumbags the Glazers are, that money will probably go straight into their dividends.

There’s a lot more to cover regarding this but I cant be arsed elaborating more because Flanno was rude. 😂

Top 4’s becoming a smaller and smaller possibility at this stage for Liverpool. There’s definite problems to address there. Inconsistency seems to be a big one.

Casemiro is a gem. Not only he’s the defensive midfield destroyer we’ve needed for nearly a decade, his passing game is very good and he actually gets in the box and can do some damage. He saved our bacon this morning rescuing that point, it probably should of been the winner though because I felt the penalty was maybe a bit soft, even though McTominay is a moron. I mean it probably is a foul but if you pull those up everytime they happen you’d probably have 2 or 3 penalties every game. Let’s see if they’re consistent with that moving forward now.

Overall I think United played very well, the Varane injury is an absolute dagger blow though, as a combination, Martinez and Varane have only conceded one Premier League goal im pretty sure, maybe two. Hopefully the injury isnt serious, because the drop off in quality to Maguire and Lindelof is damaging.

United desperately need a striker if Ronaldo goes because I still think Rashford is a winger filling in a striker and Martial is always injured. I really wish we went for Scamacca, he would of been perfect, I wanted him all transfer window and United were too incompetent to get him and he ends up at West Ham. Ah well.

Good ebening. Unai Emery is Aston Villa’s new manager. I hope he’s finally learned English for his sake.

We all have to hope that Newcastle dont make the top 4, because once they’re in the Champions League, it becomes ridiculously harder for the rest of us because they’re basically the richest club in the world, we’ll have two Man City’s on our hands. They’ll be able to buy up anyone they want to with their endless cash and the carrot of Champions League football.

If they don't make it this season (Newcastle), it will only be delaying the inevitable. Still think a Euro Super League will be the eventual outcome. :(

New Head Coach for West Brom as well announced overnight. Carlos Corberan. Don’t know a great deal about him although he worked under Bielsa at Leeds and also managed Huddersfield to some success.

I can tell you he is going to need plenty of luck to turn our season around. It’s the owner and CEO who are the problem. They’ve been doing everything on the cheap so the owner can borrow money for his Chinese business. It’s an appalling situation.

Apparently ETH and Ronnie have kissed and made up somewhat. Rumours that he might even play on Thursday against Sheriff.

Until next game when Ronaldo complains. Cut him loose…

I forgot about the format changes, but I was also thinking more domestically.
