In a horrible example of life imitating Jerry Maguire, Wagner Ribeiro (football agent) has been shown the door by Robinho, having snared his client the best football deal ever made. The pair had been together six years, with Ribeiro taking the tricky winger from Santos to Real Madrid, then to Man City to enjoy a whopping £160,000 a week. What more could he have done? Certain sectors are insisting that Robinho did the right thing after Ribeiro bitched openly about Real Madrid during the summer’s Cristiano Ronaldo fiasco - he insisted that they had let Robinho down by not treating him like the best player in the world. Plus, rumours are going around that the Brazilian desperately wanted to go to Chelsea all along.
Could it be that Robinho isn’t quite as happy as a megabucks move to Manchester’s second best team would suggest?

Alternatively, see how we imagine it happened after the jump… only he gets sacked at the end…
One person who won’t be joining the queue at Eastlands for a fresh Robinho number 10 shirt is the newly-minted Brazilian’s mentor and Chelsea manager, Felipe Scolari. Big Phil was under the impression that Robinho was eager to come and play for him at Stamford Bridge, and was bitterly disappointed to discover that it was actually the money that Robinho was after all along.
According to Marca, Scolari called Robinho to share his thoughts:
“I went out on a limb for you, I got a great contract for you at Chelsea, but you let me down. You don’t do that.”
Coach Scolari held back slightly on his bollocking in order
