if it were in Marca I still wouldn’t believe it…because it’s still the Spanish “media”

Chances are pretty good. But like I said, El Mundo made this story up. Real has close ties to Marca, that is undeniable, so if this story was in Marca maybe it would have an ounce of truth to it. Trapote most likely said that, but I doubt it had any merit. Lets all remember who Trapote is now…

This is the comment Jack's referring to by the way folks: “Do you think I would get into a contract with that mob. Jesus Christ, no chance,” said Ferguson. “I wouldn’t sell them a virus.” What are the chances of it being Man Utd vs Real Madrid in the Champions League last 16 draw tomorrow?

For one day, and probably one day only, Ferguson is my hero today for his mob/virus comments.

If El Mundo simply fabricated three entire paragraphs of quotes from Trapote, it would be rather simple for him to get them to issue a retraction.

And yet he hasn’t even asked for one yet.

Of course, just because he told the story to one of “his closest and most trusted associates” and at least two other Real Madrid directors were making similar comments (again, according to El Mundo), doesn’t mean that it’s true.

BTW, the Spanish original is here: http://www.elmundo.es/elmundodeporte/2008/12/17/futbol/1229501827.html

You mean it’s not true as in Trapote never said any of that?

Its not true. As I have argued before, the Spanish press wants Ronaldo to come to Madrid more then the management of Real Madrid does. Its all a fabrication.
