nah, i also think he'll stay
Me too. For all his meddling and wanting to be Billy Big Boots at Newcastle, Ashley must know deep down that he needs Rafa more than Rafa needs him. He'll give him a decent transfer war chest and twiddle his thumbs for a few months. He's always going to be worrying about players resale value though, so the same bullshit will probably come around again in 12 months time.
Same.
