Aye doing his Juve audition so we can try and recoup his transfer fee.

lmao I could see RM buying him instead if he managed that insanity!
I mean it's a far cry from cunt, but then again there's not many places you go with titles after that.
I don't think it counts as accusations when you've signed a document saying you did it.
Again, forget the Simeone gesture. What is Ronaldo trying to convey with that gesture? You want to defend it, so be it. But it was pretty clear that he made a sexual gesture on television.
I think that's a 10 game ban according to UEFA. Or is that 15, I can't remember.
True but he did apologize! Basically relegates any sexual gesture as harmless banter.
Unfortunately he wasn't yet convicted for this, that's why I used accusations. It's not out of doubt or anything.
Why do you care? You only post in here when Bayern play anyway :P
So for this case, how does she come forward if she signed an NDA? Was it timed based (unlikely)?
Ooh.. new thread, watched!
Anyway, looks like Ronaldo is your ticket for an UCL title. Who's gonna buy him next season?

FIFA said "haha fuck no!" to removing the freeze on their transfers whilst they appealed the ban.
Besides, the rapist won't be jumping to any club not in the CL, which could very well be Chelsea come next season.
I just looked up Ligue 1's history and Marseille and Saint Étienne are tied as record title holders at 10 titles. Saint Étienne
Also PSG has 7, five of them earned in the last six years. Even Everton has more history lol
Ligue 1 has always been a very contested league. There have been periods of supremacy by one club but no club has been able to establish long-term dominance.
Sainté (short fort Saint-Etienne) dominated in the 60s and 70s. Last title they won was back in 81 with Platini.
Marseille ruled in the late 80s, early 90s.
Lyon was hegemonical in the 00s.
But he scores a lot of goals, so even if he admits to rape and the victim comes forward in the open to accuse him, some people will still adore him. Its disgusting.

Why do I only see this happen in the English football league?
Just exactly what they were doing for the whole season. At least they are consistent.
I spent part of the night reflecting on Schalke's performance and I think I'll double down on my comment following the final whistle : Schalke must reconsider their model and profesionnalize their structure. You just cannot afford such dips in performance which can damage your brand potentially for years, if not more - what happened yesterday is more than just a defeat, it's a statement that the team accepts without a fight to be pummeled into submission on the big stage.
And the problem is that the needed changes don't seem to be supported by their fanbase (see link, link and link). The debate regarding Schalke's professional structure (or lack thereof) has been on the table for 20 years now and it seems like the economical and cultural aspects are simply irreconciliable. If you're a Schalke fan, you want the team to be ran by supporters. And that's it. No alternative.
Which is a goddamn shame since Schalke has so much room to grow. All they need to shoot past teams like Valencia, Roma or Lyon in Europe and to become a serious contender each year for the Meisterschale is to open their capital to investors but they simply refuse to do so. I am at loss of words.

Any football opinion that contains the phrase "damage the brand" is immediately wrong, thanks.
Why so ? Brand damages happen all the time across all industries.
Sarcasm ? I know football is not important in the grand scheme of things but I assumed we were colleagues sharing a same passion. If you think my remark deserves this answer then alright - whatever floats your boat, mate.
This notion that football clubs are brands and should sell their souls for a weird idea of success needs to be put to bed. Clubs are what the fans make of it, no matter how the press and various corporate entities try.
The best thing about German football is that fans are at the core of decision making and when they make a wrong step, they're quick to mobilise and effect in sending a message.
One of the worst things about English football is how corporate its all gotten, and yes I speak as a fan of a club that sold itself twice to people wanting to make money. Calling football clubs "brands" make my teeth itch. I'd rather my club was an integral part of the local community rather than looking to corporate partners to win the Money League trophy.
Pretty powerful paras to end on.
Thanks for sharing these links. All I knew about the case was ~ rape allegations ~ but no details. I didn't realise he'd already signed a statement pretty much admitting to it.
