McClaren gets FC Twente job
June 20, 2008
Steve McClaren is back in work after agreeing to be manager of Dutch team Fc Twente. He has also been in the running for the Blackburn job but has now decided on the Dutch team.
McClaren said…
“I have this morning accepted a two-year contract to become the new manager of FC Twente in Holland. This is an exciting new phase of my managerial career and I can’t wait to take up the challenge. Last season was very exciting for the club having qualified for the third round qualifiers for this season’s Champions League. It’s great to be back in management and I’m relishing the opportunity and challenge that lies ahead.”
Simon Says…
After the disaster which happened with England im sure that he is over it and has moved on. He will be well away from the press and maybe that is the reason he has moved to Holland. I don’t think he will work miracles but it should be a nice job for him without too much expectation.

June 20, 2008
Cristiano Ronaldo looks to have made a huge decision regarding his future at Man Utd. Cristiano who has been constantly linked Spanish giants Real Madrid told reporters that he intends to speak to United and hopes his “dream” will come true.
He said…
“It is a dream, a step forward, you can call it what you want. For me it is a great opportunity, and as Scolari says, that train passes by only once, and we have to take advantage of it. You will soon know what I want. You do know what I want and that is why I don’t want to say anything else. Let’s wait. I want to give more details that is why I cannot say much more.”
United quickly replied to the news…
“Further to Friday’s press speculation about where Cristiano Ronaldo’s future lies, the club has moved to reiterate its stance on the matter: United are not listening to offers. But the club reaffirmed to ManUtd.com on Friday morning that the 23-year-old United star is “not for sale”
Simon Says…
I think the boy is a great player and I really hope he stays at Man Utd. However with £70m and the likes of Robinho and Sergio Ramos in the frame then I hope Utd listen to offers. Its clear he doesn’t want to play at United so cash in and get a couple of players in the process.
