A couple of days ago it was the "Daily Mail", now it´s "The Times"
that insists that there is a "pact" between MANCHESTER UNITED
player CRISTIANO RONALDO & Spanish giant REAL MADRID. The
novelty here is that the reports & insistence is coming from English media
& not from Spain. The story says that there is a verbal agreement with
CR representative Jorges Mendes for a move in 2010.
Here is the latest rundown. The deal is set for 2010 as part of ex- Real
Madrid President Florentino Perez bid to win the Real Madrid
Presidential elections due for that same year. The idea is that Perez will
use the "announced signing" of CR to win the votes of the members &
fans to give him the Club´s Presidency.
Remember Florentino Perez is the pioneer of the "Galatic Team" model,
when he poached Luis Figo from FC Barcelona to win the Presidency,
then he brough stars Zidane, Ronaldo & Beckham.
Many believe that Perez is working in the shadows to undermine the current
President Calderon & his team so as to clear the path for his "Return Of
The Messiah" campaign.
However, lets speculate ourselves in this Shakespearen "Football play".
Can it be all a Manchester United/English Press alliance to undermine
the Spanish giant? Doubt it. Can it be Ronaldo had a "pact" with current
President Calderon & now wishes to go back on his word because he
changes alliance to now go with Florentino Perez (more money)? Perhaps.
What´s clear is that this story is´nt going away & as it continues, the secret
"pact" idea gains strenght either with Calderon or with Florentino Perez.

This is more than slightly off topic, but...
When did you become a fan of Sporting de Gijon, Striker?
Hi John , a pleasure to explain.
When I was 7 years old my uncle took me to my very first Football games an ATMadrid match (my uncle was ATM), I fell "in love immediately" with ATM.
However, the opposing team was Sporting of Gijon, they lost 4-1, big win for ATM :)
But I felt sympathy for Sporting de Gijon, the colours...etc. Then life took an interesting turn. My wifes sister married a man from Gijon (plus Sporting fan) , my both nephews ( one of which Im the godfather) are from Gijon (their sons). I travel to Gijon 5- 6 times a year.
Thus my closeness & sympathy for Sporting Gijon ; with my 1st love ATMadrid.
Cheers
Cristiano Ronaldo is awesome!
