2022/2023 English Premier League

Well that’s not a great look, but this other guy raped a girl and he’s been playing and everything’s fine!

Problem solved!

Cristiano Ronaldo has received a first transfer offer amid the fallout from his Manchester United accusations.

"(Ronaldo) said he wasn't getting any love and respect at Manchester United but we'll certainly give him plenty of love and respect"

The category is: 'What to do' for $2000

"A room with Cristiano Ronaldo, Piers Morgan and Jordan Peterson..."

What is..."A room that should be welded shut from the outside?"

The Athletic saying United have started the process of contract termination. The Times saying they are also ready to sue him for breach of contract.

Good.

I'll be honest the interview wasn't as scathing as the initial snippets made it seem.

He's wrong to do the interview (Especially missing a game to do so), but I don't think what he says is 100% wrong either.

I don't think Man U has been managed well since SAF left and doesn't seem like the Glazers care or invest in the team (and the fan base usually shouts about that too).

I don't think he's right to bash ETH as much as he did...but I also don't think he's wrong that ETH didn't really show him respect either.

Trying to put him in the game with 3 minutes left against Spurs was a bit of a disrespectful shot at him IMO...I doubt you'd see a manager throwing Messi on for a three minute "runabout"

He's an idiot with how he's handled things but at least he's made for some entertainment in the break between league and the world cup!

Good.

Remember when Ronaldo wasnt the problem?

A somebody is gonna owe MegaErtz an apology....

[Winsor_Pilates]

Best part of the interview was him hoping Arsenal wins the league, even though he's still technically a player for a rival. I kind of like him more now.

Suspend him thru January, sue him and terminate contract Feb 1.

Naw man, keep paying him his £500k/week.

He is an integral member of the team. Maybe he needs a raise? That might make him feel loved...

I get the sentiment of really twisting the knife in, but I'd rather terminate him now and be done with it ... you can still sue him after that, but I think it's better to cut ties before the games resume instead of having to deal with this headache throughout January. I honestly think it'll be liberating for the club to see the back of him and his cultish fanboys, so the sooner that happens the better IMO.

So....most United fans.

They usually get upset if you call them 'cultish fanboys' but hey, if the shoe fits...

My pettiness, is overruled by rationale, and such a nuclear distraction

I'm torn.
Is putting him on garden leave until February 1 an option?
This is actually a decent win for United regardless. Get rid of him and all the issues with the Glazers highlighted.

this is why I want him gone ASAP instead of suspending him. I get it, I'm petty too ... but for as long as he's a United player, everything will continue to be about him.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Kinda surprised he's gonna make it 10 years there, but at the same time is there really a better job in terms of having support (from owners, anyways)?

He’s already conquered Spain and Germany.

There is no team in Italy right now with the money or squad that would be attractive for him on the continental stage.

Might as well secure the bag with Man City while also ensuring you are always going to be able to get whoever you want in the transfer market.

Honestly the only thing that would have made sense is if he wanted to go coach Spain for Euro 2022 and World Cup 2024…but he has lots of time to do that still.

[CroFlames]

Surely Ronaldo is destined for LA or Miami? Hollywood would be perfect for him.
