I see that Ronaldo is to wear #7 for Yernited, taking Cavani's number.
Now I'm absolutely certain that when this Ronaldo saga started the rules very clearly stated that when a number for a player had been registered for the season that was it. So Cavani was #7 and that was that.
Does anyone, even remotely, think that if we'd re-signed Matt Doherty on August 31st we'd have been allowed to give him #2? Of course not. Now I don't give a rat's ass what number Ronaldo wears. What I do care about though, is that the rules appear to have been changed/bent/ignored for one of the big six - a club who not six months ago were prepared to join the ESL.
Small wonder that fans look at VAR and the decisions it makes in favour of the big teams and start to wonder...
