It's not like there's a parallel shite owner merry-go-round to match the one for shite managers in the league. Anyone purchasing from ashley will be a consortium/sports group or independently wealthy foreign national and almost surely first time team owner(s). edit: that is, I don't get the usefulness in necessarily comparing owners. In any case has he not set the bar so spectacularly low that the odds of "being worse than" are practically nil? I'd take those chances any day, yes even if it meant losing Rafa.

Just in terms of the hypothetical. In reality I don't think it would make Ashley any more likely to sell, so given the option of ashley and rafa or ashley and not rafa, I'd take the former.

He doesn't actually say "there is a good chance that I will stay" though. It's a "it's a good chance" and the [that I will stay] isn't really implied imo. Soz to be a proper doom cloud like. How isn't it really implied? "... obviously in my head it's a chance, it's a good chance" What is 'a good chance'? Besides 'him staying' I don't know what other reading is possible in the context of the conversation. Curious as to what you think he meant has 'a good chance' if not him staying.

I dunno like, the option of 'A' with Ashley selling is too good to pass up. Option 'B' needs a little more going for it.

So what exactly would be the point of keeping Charnley if his responsibilities are given to Rafa? Rafa's move - with the caveat any/all of this is true - seems to be more about ousting Carr and limiting the damage Charnley could do to the team on his own. I imagine he'd stick to ruining the merch/commerical/hospitality/etc side of the club's affairs. Was Lee ever much more than a rubber stamp for Carr anyway? "This is the player you want. This is the price you should expect to pay." There may have been some marginal utility if he haggled a few hundred £k off of prices here and there but not being a football man I assume he often just did as he was told.

What if he didn't get us promoted? I know it's not likely he wouldn't, but nothing is guaranteed in life and with the regime we have. That would be such a larger blight than "unable to save turd club circling the bowl with 10 games left" I can see him not wanting to risk it. Farewell Rafa.

He'll never go to Everton but it's a useful bargaining tool for Rafa to secure full control of football matters at Newcastle. Fair play to him for twisting the knife on Lee/Mike.* * - if any of this is at all true

"Carroll is on the back of Blind who has dealt with his bulk really well."

Its battered wife syndrome with wor lot tho. According to movies, which are like science, that syndrome only lets her put up with so much before she snaps and kills him in his sleep. They'd be putting their safety at risk pulling a move like that.

hope the prosecution seeks the death penalty

Maybe he was told to do it, maybe he just fucking sucks, but there were a few times he abandoned Tiote 30 yards upfield to run back and show for the ball when it was utterly not needed and then either lose possession or kill any momentum with a backwards/side pass. I just don't get the point of him existing.

colback you shithawk
