Úgy tűnik mégse Calderon zsírozta le a CR transzfert annó.

“Cristiano was 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐝. He surpassed all the other great ones I coached at United - and I had many.
The only ones who could be placed near him would be a couple of the home-produced players, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, because they contributed so prodigiously to Manchester United for two decades.
Real Madrid paid £80m in cash for him [in 2009] and do you know why? It was a way for Florentino Perez, their president, to say to the world: 'We are Real Madrid, we are the biggest of the lot.'
Ramon Calderon, Perez's predecessor, had claimed the previous year that 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐨 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫.
I went to Carlos Queiroz's house in Portugal 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐲 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝, and told him:
'𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 this year, not after the way Calderon has approached this issue'. I said: 'I know you want to go to Real Madrid but 𝐈'𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨+𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 to that guy now. If you perform, don't mess us about, and someone comes and offers a world record fee, then we will let you go’.”
[Having dealt with transfer dilemmas throughout his illustrious career – not just player sales but also players he wanted to buy – Ferguson accepted that he did well to persuade Ronaldo to remain at Old Trafford for one more year]
“I did well to calm him down. I told him the reason I was refusing to sell him that year was because of Calderon.
I said: 'If I do that, my honour's gone, everything's gone for me, and I don't care if you have to sit in the stands. I know it won't come to that, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫'.”
