Taurus Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 CRISTIANO Ronaldo faces at least eight weeks out - and maybe more - after surgery on his damaged right ankle takes place within the next 48 hours.And the bad news only got worse for Sir Alex Ferguson last night after it emerged that the Portuguese FA believe they have landed Old Trafford No.2 Carlos Queiroz as their new national manager. TheManchester United boss, having barred Ronaldo's £70million exit to Real Madrid for at least a year, had believed that he could relax.Instead he must confront the very real prospect that Ronaldo (right) could miss the first eight games ofAdvertisementUnited's Premier League defence, including the trips to Liverpool and Chelsea.Reports from Portugal last night indicated that Ronaldo's injury is worse than was first thought. The injury, and the expected length of his absence, has taken the heat out of the Real Madrid affair.But Queiroz's departure as Ferguson's right-hand man will cause a headache not only in who replaces him, but threatens a worrying spin-off.Without Queiroz around the fear will be that any chance United had of keeping Ronaldo out of Real Madrid's clutches in the long term will be gone.According to reports from his home country last night Queiroz is now preparing to take a £1m pay cut by replacing Luiz Felipe Scolari..

Somebody told me about it yesterday so I thought his position as Portugal coach had been announced.He'll definitely be a bigger loss but I think it's quite possible he'll go.

MrJibbles Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 He was in Lisbon last week for talks over the job. It's in a few Sunday papers today, £1.2 million a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totty Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Would be gutted if Queiroz left, but the guys 55 years of age now, opportunity like the Portuguese national job don't come around too often. Good luck to him if chooses to leave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangTheDJ Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'm VERY intruiged to see United without CQ.Fergie is a top manager but he relies on CQ ALOT imo.The 'dark days' for United were when Walter Smith was assistant init?I was chatting with someone from here on MSN, and they were saying that Quireoz brought new methods which Pat Rice doesn't for Arsenal, I c/s this fully.And Liverpool without Pako lost a bit of momentum as well...Will be interesting to see who Fergie goes for as a number two, you'd think it would be someone with experience on the continent and understand modern football...Roy Hodgson woulda been a decent shout, as would a return for McClaren, but evidently not now.

Agony Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Papers are also saying Cantona might become a United coachAnyway I'll wait for Manutd.com to confirm these stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bit Better Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Was talking to my boy and he thinks United organised to have the op now because it rules him out for so long that it will quell all the transfer requests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambino Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 The papers were claiming Fergie will try get Blanc to replace Quiroz today. Time to train up Cantona though. As for Ronaldo bored of hearing about him now, don't even care about his situation anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agony Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Ole just recently became the reserve team coach so I wanna see him do that job for at least 2 seasonsWouldn't mind seeing Cantona come in and do Ole's old job coaching the first team strikers or another coaching role in the clubAs for the number 2 role... Quieroz is the man though, if we lose him i have no idea who to look at next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
