The illustrious FIFA's President Sepp Blatter has caused a furious debate in the football world when he said the Cristiano Ronaldo contracted to Manchester United of England should be free to transfer to Real Marid FC of Spain.
Blatter's claim is that that clubs are guilty of modern-day slavery by claiming players are treated like 'pieces of meat'.
Manchester United old bot Roy Keane, now manager of Sunderland, added fuel to the furore caused by Blatter.
'People question players' loyalty. I question clubs' loyalty,' said the 36-year-old Keane , who was dumped by United in 2005 after more than 12 years at Old Trafford.
'When a club are finished with you, they get rid of you. You can be out of the door in 10 minutes, and I'm speaking from experience lamented Keane recalls his bitter exit from United.
Ronaldo who has a five-year, £120,000-a-week deal with United is not a poor kid and it appears in this case Blattter is off his mark and it would be better for him to shut his mouth and leave two of the world's richest clubs to pursue their interests.
There may be plenty of slaves for Sepp Blatter and others like him could talk about but Cristiano Ronaldo is not one of them.

I beg to differ on the last comment that there are others to worry about rather than Christiano Ronaldo. Sepp Blatter has every right and it would be inappropriate if he does not comment on this. He is the elected head of world footballing body FIFA, so that he can do these things as a part of his responsibility and duty.
