Ronaldo & Fergie bust up!

'Chopper' · 02-13-2008, 10:41 AM

Just heard Fergie lost it with Ronaldo at the training ground when the latter was caught texting during a team talk."argue" Fergie said "that'll cost you two grand" but Ronaldo apparently laughed and sent another. "That'll cost you two grand too" yelled Fergie. Towards the end of the talk Ronaldo sent another text and Fergie screamed "that's f***in' double" so for 3 texts Ronaldo was fined £8,000! Fergie apparently ordered him into his office and I'm afraid I know no more!

Maybe Ronaldo's started looking for a summer move?

Yeah, I agree the amount is irrelevant but it's the fact Ronaldo took the piss and disrespected Fergie. You don't do that unless you see your remaining time at Old Trafford as limited?

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has copped an Â£8,000 fine for using his mobile phone during training.

The Portuguese winger was caught texting four times during one single training session and was issued the fine by United manager Alex Ferguson.

The fine comes just before the 23-year-old is set to sign a new Â£140,000-a-week contract at Old Trafford.

Ferguson is coming down hard on those players who are not completely focused during midweek training, especially with the title race heating up, issuing on-the-spot Â£2,000 fines to anyone breaking the rules.

A Red Devils source said: "The players all respect Sir Alex's discipline. He is not a man to be messed with.

"But a few of the players have been sneaking their mobile phones on to the training pitch to send the odd text message between sessions.

"Fergie and his assistants have been cracking down on it big time recently. They insist that mobiles stay in lockers and should not be used until training is finished."

Last summer the team's training ground in Carrington was fitted with a communication system that allowed the players to be contacted via a pager from reception should there be an urgent message.

Fergie has banned mobile phones from the team bus this season and is said to frown upon players using them during their train journeys from Cheshire to Premiership fixtures in London.

Why didn't they take the phone of him after the first text?!

That's cutting your nose off to spite your face! Why drop one of if not the best players at your disposal because of a mobile phone. Just fine him and 'beast' him on the training pitch.
