Van Nistelrooy still expects Ronaldo to join Madrid

It would be a lot better for everyone , if Van Nistleroy kept his opinions to himself. Why on Earth does he come out with this bullshit when he knows what happened during the summer. He says it may be next summer....or the next. What he means is that he doesn't really know and is just making a story up to stir the shit again in the newspapers. Van Nistleroy, you enjoyed your time at Old Trafford, now give Ronaldo a chance to enjoy his time. There is no need to talk fullstop.

Just wish that he is not leaving already in January if they want to pay their debts as football governing body is pressing all clubs in debts to do it..

Chelsea4ever:

Ronaldo or no Ronaldo United have the income to more than accommodate their so called debts (which are secured against the Glazers assets not the club by the way). If any one team should be concerned about debt then it is Chelsea. Chelsea are practically insolvent and rely on soft loans from Roman, if he was to walk away the proverbial would definitely hit the fan as Chelsea do not have the turnover to accommodate their players salaries never mind any other debt or overheads. Agree with me or not United are the blueprint on how a football club can be ran as a business and are better placed than most to deal with the current economic climate!

Chelsea4ever:

I appreciate everybody is entitled to there opinion but it is pointless me arguing with you because with due respect your comments above are fact less, but hey ho I’ll say my piece!

Firstly, as I stated, the debt that is so called attached to United is £666 million but in reality it is not attached to the club the money the Glazers borrowed are loans secured on other assets of the Glazer families assets not the club this was legally secured clause before there imminent takeover during Uniteds Plc days. If the Glazers were to fall foul of the current economic climate the only effect it would have on United as a business or football club would be that the Glazers may have to sell one of assets which may possibly be the club, if that was the case then United would have new owners (and in reality I don’t think they would have a problem finding a buyer for the biggest brand in football do you?). For the above to happen would be a slim chance as United’s basic income is £250 million per annum, more than enough to service the repayments!

Secondly, there is a huge difference between the acquisition of Manchester City by the Abu Dhabi United Group (not the Dubai Group as you incorrectly stated) and Chelsea’s ownership by Roman Abramovich. The ADU Group acquired MCFC with the sole purpose to use it as a tool to assist the Emirate in promoting other economic interests within the Emirate. The oil resources which they have heavily relied on for the past 40-50 years will in the not so distant future, run dry! Therefore during recent times they have been investing heavily in other financial interest’s one of them being sport with a view to making the Emirate the premier sporting facility in the region. Their thinking is that if they can turn MCFC into the leading club in the world (which is debatable, and they might just move onto another club if it doesn’t work) will only assist them in gaining investment and prominence to help them achieve this goal. In short the city takeover is a long term investment not just solely attached to football. Abramovich on the other hand bought Chelsea as a plaything not as an investment, admittedly the man is not stupid by any means but as with any child playing a game if doesn’t start winning all the time he could quite easily throw is toys out of the pram. If this was the case (which I personally don’t think will happen in the near future) then Chelsea would be in serious poo because unlike United their turnover doesn’t cover their operating costs, they wouldn’t necessarily be in debt unless Roman insisted on being paid the soft loans he has given to the club but they definitely would have to off load their star players as they would not be able to justify their salaries as year in year out they have been operating with record losses.

Need I say more?

Viva la Madrid!!!! If Cris Ronaldo is one of the best players, then his home is madrid!!!!!!
