[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 531907, member: 175057"] This is a quote from Sepp Blatter when discussing the Ronaldo situation. [B][URL="http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Let-Ronaldo-Go-Fifa-Boss-Blatter-Tells-Man-U-As-He-Blasts-Modern-Slavery-Contracts/Article/200807215029849?lpos=UK%2BNews_0&lid=ARTICLE_15029849_%2527Let%2BRonaldo%2BGo%2527%252C%2BFifa%2BBoss%2BBlatter%2BTells%2BMan%2BU%2BAs%2BHe%2BBlasts%2B%2527Modern%2BSlavery%2527%2BContracts"]MORE[/URL][/B] One questions whether my Blatter would have a similar opinion if the controversy was based on Ronaldo leaving a European mainland club to move to the Premiership. Modern Slavery, Mr Blatter seems to have a knack of talking out his rear orifice, how can anyone equate a football player under contract and earning a basic wage of £100,000 per week with the term slavery? :-rofl2 Also, Ronaldo didn't look too unhappy earlier in the year when he held the Champions League cup and the Premiership trophy, but perhaps he was being a brave boy and concealing his sadness. ;) The fact is that he is a big boy now and has signed a contract, which on its own would make him fairly wealthy, but when added to his other sponsorship deals, means that even if he stopped playing now, he would never have to work again, not a lot of sympathy here I'm afraid.
