The Warning

Another take on the Ramon Calderon resignation, a word of warning from Sid Lowe in The Guardian:

The desperation with which he chased Ronaldo made him look like a little leaguer facing the Yankees. It also made him look dishonest, having constantly briefed that Ronaldo was in the bag. The pursuit infuriated Sir Alex Ferguson too of course, but if United believe that his departure is some kind of victory they should think again. Elections will now be called and there will be plenty of candidates who see in Ronaldo their ticket to the top. Candidates who will not be as easily outmanoeuvred as Calderón was.
