In my opinion it has to be completed in the next week or two or forget it Completed in the next week or 2?. So if it takes another 14 days that then means we have 23 days to appoint a manager a coaching team then manager assess his squad get to know them and then analyse what is needed to bring in No fucking chance you can do that in just over 3 weeks it's just not possible. The takeover bullshit is another Ruse to avoid spending money on a decent manager and players Perez leaving is biggest hint that no takeover was ever intended as why would they agree a price then seller sells one of your big assets before sale is completed It's like agreeing to buy a car agreeing a price then seller saying I've just sold the wheels Doesn't matter if the takeover takes 3 months. The only thing that's important is to get Ashley out.

This is just the start I think. Who's next? Only a takeover can save us now.

I think the BZG statement will come today as friday is a weekend in Dubai. Hoping for a positive statement!

Yeah, at least there are a lot of people that cares and tries to do something! You'll get my support aswell. Good luck with your efforts. GET ASHLEY OUT!!!

He's 22, time to let go imo.

To see if he'd left any change. Or a biscuit...

Not if they want their own man. I just cant see this being the case myself like Unless they promised Mourinho the job or something. I know i kmow Funny, I've been thinking about this this evening.... making some big leaps in my logic but here goes...…. it's well known that Jose has 1) affection for this club 2) is looking for a 'project' 3) is highly thought of in the middle east (maybe more so than Rafa is?) pure guesswork on my part 4) is linked to the job in some way If I was Jose I would have had my representatives contact BZG a few weeks ago about the possibility of working with them should they take over (kind of like it was Rafa who got in touch with us, we didn't go looking for him) Managers at that level know what they want and go for it. Rafa was perfect for us but I can see Jose doing well here (provided not under the fat c*** obviously). Would rather have Mikel Arteta, Roberto Martinez or Eddie Howe instead of Jose Mourinho though! The blokes record is one of the best, like him (I know not many do including me) or loathe him he would be a better option than any of the three you mention What would happen with Mourinho is that he would blame his mistakes on everybody else, fall out with everybody and leave in two seasons. I rather we go for someone young and hungry who could stay for many years. Arteta would be my prefered choice even though he lacks experiense. Think Howe would be exellent aswell.

Anyone...? Hallo!!!

Eh, he was correct both times about a BZG statement coming up. He's the only one i believe. Yeah, this guy is the only one that have said someting that actually has happend. I trust him!

It will be Neil Redfearn.

Exactly what I've been thinking for a few days!

Agree, if there's any time for a good old mutiny it should be now! Just to show who the real boss should be.

Any player coming here now must be f***ing mental!

Already feel sorry for the poor man who becomes the next manager. Comes in with great promises made by Ashley, not knowing what's ahead of him. In an ideal world no one should want the job under Ashley, but there is always a poor manager out there taking any job offered to him. Bad times ahead!?

The protest should be outside of Ashleys house. And it should not be peaceful!

Anyone who's at the Robson statue now? Is there any protests?

I hope many supporters turn up for this!

I’d read into that that he doesn’t want you to text him mate but isn’t rude enough to ignore you completely. Yeah leave him alone now man. I'd take it like he would like to say something but aren't allowed to.

It will be Neil Redfearn. Thats why we brought him here!

I think it could happen. And I hope the players will stand up for Rafa.

Keeping my hopes on this. Peter Redding is the most reliable at the moment. Even when he has no real news he says it like it is and don't seem to make things up.

i don't think so many will leave this summer like, unless ashley is really intent on burning it all to the ground I think many players will hand in transfer requests in protests of how Ashley has been handling Rafa and the whole situation. never happens man, they'll do the usual give the new man a chance job then fuck off when we're relegated Rafa is the reason why many of them is here. - Rafa gave Lascelles his chance and made him captain. - Perez, Shar, Almiron and Dubravka is Rafas men and will all have offers. - Hayden wants to leave(even if Rafa is here) - Longstaff will have offers but will depend on what Ashley decides.

i don't think so many will leave this summer like, unless ashley is really intent on burning it all to the ground I think many players will hand in transfer requests in protests of how Ashley has been handling Rafa and the whole situation.

If Rafa leaves and there is no takeover I think the new manager will be Neil Readfern. And many players will leave the club. Such as Lascelles, Shar, Almiron, Perez, Dubravka, Hayden and maybe Longstaff. Really hope this takeover will goes through and Rafa stays. I guess/hope we will know more when july comes along. Don't think Rafa will sign a new contract as long as Ashley is here. Will sign a new contract when/if the takeover will be completed.
