Be great to see Joselu back ripping defenses to pieces with his pace and skill. Sooner we are relegated a couple of times the better

Ashley probably just approached Gerrard to spite Rangers for taking him to court, that's the mentality of this sperm germ

Apparantly he is 'deeply upset' about Rafas departure and is looking at his future

The pony tail cup

We will need 2 Jack Colbacks because of all the yellow and red cards he picks up

He was a huge success at Notts County

If Leicester sell McQuire he could follow Perez there

The more I hear about this the more I wonder. I loved Rafa and what he was building here, his connection to the people and the city. But obviously negotiations with the Chinese have been underway for a long time. I just wonder what his demands and aspirations really were for NUFC. He has made it known about his 'project' and long term plans etc,. but Ashley doesn't do long term plans, he is a quick buck man and all of the investment that is required/ talked about would take years to recoup. Just not Ashleys style I'm afraid. Perhaps Rafas demands could not possibly be met. I am beginning to believe that Rafa has known for some time where his future lay and I wish him well with it. I hate Ashley and everything he stands for and hope he sells sooner rather than later.

Did Rafa really want to stay at NUFC?????

Short list, Hughes, Moyes, Fat Sam,Dyke, Lambert etc etc etc

Could have a long long wait

Probably Charnley going for his holidays in Blackpool

No manager worth his salt would want to come here.

Dyke is the biggest insult ever. Without doubt the worst manager in the PL but his style of play may just keep us in the Prem which would suit Ashley. I bloody hate Ashley and can not support the club after whats happened but it won't be easy to let go after nearly 70 years of support and they are such a big part of my life. I am just totally gutted

I hope they all leave and we are left with a pile of unmanageable shit

Whoever takes the managers job should be booed and hassled every single minute of every single game (by those who continue to give Ashley money) and make life intolerable so he has to leave. Make it so the job is impossible

From Benitez to Dyke? How we've progressed as a club

Couldn't give a toss anymore, I just hope it's someone who can inflict serious damage to Ashleys gravy train

Plus his agent

How many players left when Sir Bobby left? They are under contract and will not do anything to harm their bank balance

Sadly, even when he goes you will still get 52k + supporting the Ashley money making machine. I am 75 now and have supported my team since I was a bairn. When Rafa departs so will I and will never watch my team again. A team which has always been a part of my life. My actions won't hurt Ashley or the finances of the club it will only hurt me but hopefully my stress levels will fall

I think Ashley will make some statement like 'We made him an excellent offer but he didn't respond/accept so he has now left the club'

Not spoke to the wife for a month, spend all my time on this forum, looking for updates and phoning the Samaritans

How can they expect people to spend their money on season tickets for a club that could be starting the season managerless> It;s like selling tickets for a cruise but saying 'By the way we don't have a captain or crew yet'

Didn't the Stavely people value the club at £250 mill after doing due diligence
