@MaxBretosSports Man Utd is a top 5 brand in World football. He was in a position where he had leverage with the prettier girl on the block. Keep perspective. No you wouldn’t have.

🚨EXCL: Portugal head coach Jorge Jesus finally responds to Ronaldo’s statement… and he did NOT hold back. 😳🇵🇹
🗣️Jorge Jesus: “I read Cristiano’s statement yesterday and my first reaction was simple: he should never have said those things publicly.
“When a player starts believing his name gives him the right to question every decision, you have a problem.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is a legend of Portugal, but legends are remembered for what they have done
“they are not guaranteed minutes because of their past.
“I cannot select a player because of his reputation while ignoring what he gives us on the pitch today.
“People keep asking why he has been dropped and benched.
“The answer is football. At this moment, I have players who can offer more intensity, more movement and more balance to this team.
“If Ronaldo cannot accept that, then that is his problem, not mine.
“Portugal does not belong to Cristiano Ronaldo.
“It belongs to the Portuguese people. No player is bigger than the national team, and I will never sacrifice the team just to keep one superstar happy.
“If Cristiano thinks Portugal cannot function without him, then he needs to understand something: we are building a team, not a monument to one player.”
🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: Premier League confirm an independent Commission has found Manchester City GUILTY OF ALL CHARGES related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.
The club has the right to appeal the independent Commission’s findings and has until Friday 2 October to exercise that right.
The Premier League Board’s intention is that the full process (including any appeals and publication of relevant decisions) is concluded as soon as possible.
The independent Commission found that between Seasons 2009/10 and 2017/18:
- Manchester City arranged ‘sham’ contracts (which misrepresented the true agreement between the parties) with a number of its commercial partners, as well as relying on ‘sham’ agreements with others, to artificially inflate the club’s revenues and reduce its costs
- The club filed misstated accounts and concealed the true state of its finances from its auditors and football regulators
- Manchester City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League’s and UEFA’s spending limits
- During the Premier League’s investigation, Manchester City committed multiple breaches of its duties of co-operation and utmost good faith towards the League (three of the four alleged breaches were upheld)
