He's only got about 18 months left before a free transfer - they'll be lucky to get half of what Ronaldo brought in and their bargaining position will get weaker by the day.
I think they were expecting him to stay there for another 10 years and were caught a bit with their pants down from a business point of view, that is a massive massive blow to them, almost feel bad for them, then Owen Hargreaves pops into my head and I remember one of Fergies rants about the reffing and it eases.
