i mean being objective about it his teams have always been fairly conservative, organised & defensive so if you wanted it to succeed (which i don't) he might not be a bad fit in that our strongest squad areas are defensive how the fuck he'd get anything out of joselu, atsu, aarons, almiron etc. is another question mind

taking some getting over the line this one tbf

not even angry, first time in my life i honestly don't care anymore feels good

considering he's out of work aye it's almost certain you'd think He’s not tho, he’s at Wednesday sake aye

considering he's out of work aye it's almost certain you'd think

thing is they've proven in the past they're able to sign players when it suits them at short notice, i fully expect them to get a coach in that is more capable than mcclaren but less capable than rafa and then throw a load of signings at them bought cheap based on scout reports it'll all just depend where the new guy sits between mcclaren & rafa in terms of ability

loving the john terry link

Boris Johnsons dead cat thing. Textbook.

This. Turned shit into gold man.

Is it really that unexpected? It has been widely reported that Pérez had itchy feet and we all know Ashley’s love for making a few Bob regardless of the consequences. Wasn’t one of the main sticking points for Rafa that he wasn’t given enough control over transfers? If that’s the case then this is exactly what was expected: f*** whichever desperate dupe they appoint, he’ll be given what to work with and told to get on with it (see “Pardue). As for the takeover, not sure anyone would sit back and see the value of the club diminish after already having agreed a price. He’s just getting on with things isn’t he...I’d be amazed if a deal goes through now. This just looks like every other close season / transfer window now, only worse Well perhaps you're right but it feels like he's intent on burning the whole thing to the ground to me especially if they're in talks to sell Longstaff as well. Can only assume the plan will be to try and get £5-10m or less players from France or wherever again to replace whatever is sold. Who was that director lad appointed under Rafa? He'll be the new Carr presumably.

What the fuck is his game here like? Even by his own standards this is fucken ridiculous.

Joined yesterday

I’d be a bit disappointed as he said he wanted a “Project”. Seems unable to get a job with good owners that will back him though, might have decided fuck it spend a year or two earning daft money.

I think it'll be continental, but cheap and a bit of a gamble. Quique Sanchez Flores linked yesterday without paying compo. It'll be something like that as he did what he was told at Watford and did pretty well.

Keep forgetting about Colback. Thank fuck I won't be paying the slightest bit of attention next season then.

Can't see that has it been removed?

Watch him go for Gerrard.

wouldn't surprise me if they start signing some of rafa's targets now

now we know why the cunt went on holiday, absolutely fuck all will happen for another month while he lets this blow over

take everything else aside i'm going to be very interested to see what even a good manager could get out of this group of players rafa has put together even assuming he goes for someone not shite and gives them a handful of players i'm still very much of the opinion rafa has had no right to do as well as he has with these players

that's the thing though, it simply doesn't at all Well it does. He has proven time and time again he and his cronies have no clue on hires. They won't find someone that is capable enough to keep us up like rafa was and they won't spunk the same amount they did with schteevie. There won't be a better time to cash in under his ownership than now. Yes there is going to be the same portion of people that will turn up whatever but more and more people not related to the club are speaking up in the media against Ashley and more and more general fans are starting to understand what's going on. Whilst the "public pressure" is going to continue to build up it will never be the sole factor for selling. There are better business ventures out there for him without the growing hassle. He simply can't realise the financial potential here (which ironically would make him much richer) because he simply won't do the things neccesary to do it. The club will become an albatross around his neck especially when we go down. I still think he will asset strip us and fuck off. Likely we arent that lucky. the only thing that would force him to "give" would be relegation and the end of the parachute payments without getting promoted again...even then i'm not convinced it would matter to him

would be just like the prick to pull a mclaren as well out of fucking spite, bring someone in and give them a decent wedge to spend

aye when i saw that caulkin article my immediate thought was what wanker ashley is, he'll now need to bring in a new man with his own ideas and spend the money to let him shape the team how he wants instead of just letting rafa grow things then i remembered it was ashley

that's the thing though, it simply doesn't at all

this is it, i fucking hate the cunt
