A couple of hours since Rafa committed to staying and there's been no signings?

If Rafa is staying they can rename it Mike Ashley park. The Big Llambeezy.

So Rafa staying, with ~70m-100m to spend and full control. What's the catch? Something bad is around the corner. We're about to become the Big Wang stadium or something.

The compromise should be Benitez tells Ashley what he needs and Ashley does it without any Ashley-isms.

Do you have a lot of people like him who attend interviews at your place Mick?

Well I'm convinced now that he's cleared his name.

To put the bottle job into perspective, we over turned a 7 point lead with 3 games to go...with a point to spare!

Brighton and Mackems be like: https://streamable.com/qbtwj

We were bottom for a day. Madness.

I have now.

At least Brighton get that beautiful first-losers trophy.

Haha amazing!

On goals scored

I think he used to go back and forth between defence and midfield before he joined us.

We should put a bid in for Pickford just to wind them up.

Wankers

A lot of those players weren't bought during this TV money boom though. Players who were once around £5m now go for just under £20m.

Boom-bust cycle starting fresh.

I think he's done a good job. Before him they were lucky to spend 2 consecutive seasons in the top division. As the saying goes, you can't polish a turd.

Was browsing a Brighton forum last night. Surprised how pessimistic they are. Basically already congratulating us on our title win. I'd much prefer to be in their position with it all in our own hands.

Makes you wonder why any elite-level club would accept a manager who isn't a superb improver of players. Losers can't be choosers.
