Should he stay or should he go?

AT some point during this battle of wills between Sir Alex Ferguson and Ronaldo or Ferguson and Calderon or Ferguson and Schuster, something will have to give.
Surely there will come a point when the man who sent the likes of Beckham, Hughes, Ince and Kanchelskis will say: "Enough's enough."
The fiery Scotsman has said often in cases like this when players have sought to leave HIS club that it's important to keep players who want to play for United. It is with this in mind that in years gone by we would have seen Ronaldo thrown out of United to join his friend Gabriel Heinze, who incidentally saw United as a 'stepping stone'.
But Ronaldo so far is breaking the mould and Ferguson it seems for now, is allowing it.
Many United supporters look for certain things in true 'reds'. They look for passion, desire, a willingness to sacrifice themselves for the good of the team. United supporters look for players who will score equalising goals then fetch the ball from the net and rally the team to get the winner and when that winner comes, go straight up to the United supporters and kiss the badge on the shirt.
Looking back, I fail to remember Ronaldo do either.
Perhaps the treatment of Ronaldo by both Ferguson and the 'influential' Carlos Quieroz has added to Ronaldo's ego. You wonder whether the shoulder shrugging and sulking has gone on more since the departure of a certain Mr Keane.
But it has been allowed to go on. Ronaldo has been allowed to stop when his shirts been tugged and expect a decision. He's been allowed to hold his arms up in despair and look to the heavens after a poor pass when others run past him to get the ball back.
Ronaldo has been fantastic for the previous two seasons and United supporters won't ever forget the contribution he has made in terms of entertainment and of course goals. But many may view his comments about 'white kits' and 'dream moves' as a step too far.
The news filtering through now about the possibility of Ronaldo staying is another twist in what by now is a tired saga. If Ronaldo stays and lines up for United against Newcastle then will all be given? Ferguson would have, maybe even David Gill and the Glazer's; but United supporters may still ask why he didn't just say he was staying in the first place.
A phenomenal player he has been and he could go onto be the greatest ever but United supporters look at legends who wore the shirt and the badge with pride.
After this summers antics its perhaps become more apparent that all Ronaldo has worn with pride is the name on the back of his shirt.
