Ferguson on Real Madrid, Franco and Ronaldo

Posted on May 23, 2008 - Filed Under Football |

“The simple facts are that he is with us and has four years left on his contract and that’s the first thing. And Calderon makes that great statement ’slavery was abolished many, many years ago’. Did he tell Franco that? Jesus Christ, give me a break.”

Link. What a great line.

(Madrid were the favoured club of the Franco regime, and Calderon [Madrid's President] made his slavery comment in the context of Real’s ongoing attempt to unsettle Cristiano Ronaldo at United via numerous pronouncements in the Spanish media.)
