Fans of Manchester United, reportedly the richest club in the world, are spreading the Twitter hashtag #PoundForCR7 encouraging fellow supporters to contribute a pound to help the club buy back Cristiano Ronaldo.
It’s going to be an expensive purchase, so Manchester United fans want to do their bit and give a pound each.
Some people, though, are not impressed and the hashtag has been hijacked by jokers – as is traditional in such situations.

Fergie has taken the #PoundforCR7 money & fucked off to Spain. Not to buy Ronaldo. He’s getting sloshed off sangria & laughing at you all.

This #Poundforcr7 idea is genius. How about #TombolaForShola? We have a raffle, all the money goes towards buying a new hat for Shola.

“When shown the #PoundforCR7 hashtag, Gandhi repudiated his previous stance on non-violence. ‘Shoot the fuckers, this has to stop’ he said.”
