'His legendary status doesn't change' - Rio Ferdinand insists Cristiano Ronaldo will still be remembered as an all-time great at Manchester United after his contract was terminated

 Former Manchester United player, Rio Ferdinand believes Cristiano Ronaldo has kept his 'legendary' status at the club intact after a harmonious agreement was met between the superstar and the Premier League giants to terminate his contract with immediate effect.


United revealed the Portugal captain - who is currently with his national team at the World Cup would be leaving by mutual consent after he conducted a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan accusing the club of 'betraying' him and that manager Erik ten Hag showed him a lack of respect.


The deal means Ronaldo will miss out on £16million compensation after the Red Devils ended his £500,000-a-week deal for the remainder of the seven months on his deal.

'It doesn't detract from Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy at the football club, what he has achieved, his legendary status there I believe doesn't change at all. 


'The measure of what he was when he was in the red shirt playing football, what he done and the amount of successful moments and trophies he brought to the club when he was here. Became the best player in the world while being at Man United, these things you can't take out of history. 


Ferdinand went on to add that both club and player will be 'delighted' with the final agreement that has seen a mutual agreement secure an easily negotiated termination of his contract. 


'I think both parties will be delighted,' Ferdinand told the BBC. 


'He did interview with mindset he wanted to get out the club. He wasn't happy and he made it very clear. Also happy for Erik ten Hag, he has got what he wanted in this situation. Both are happy.'

When asked about Ronaldo's next move, Ferdinand replied: 'It depends what the motivation is as to where he goes next. Is it Champions League, money? This will be getting planned out behind the scenes and I'm sure we will find out.' 


Ferdinand later tweeted his thoughts, writing: 'Just seen the Cristiano news... best for both parties!'

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

  THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY     In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today.   In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity.   Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...
