Darth Crooks Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Really wouldn't surprise me but it seems an odd article to surface at all. I'm pretty certain he'll not be this Hans off when we're back up mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Yeah, Benitez won't put up with any shit from that oaf so it spells trouble if he wants to get overly involved in the football side again. We all knew this could happen, will be very disappointing if it does. In fact I think many would walk away if Ashley's meddling led to Benitez leaving.

Disco Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Bar Diame / Murphy did it ever go away? Doubtful. As long as it's not 100% only buy ill suited players from that management company I'm not too arsed tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 No transfer gossip out of the club, sales of the newspapers locally are likely to be down (Mirror own the Chronicle). The Chronicle are left with Lee Ryder writing articles of questions he would want answered but not asking anyone at the club those questions in order to maintain clicks to the site. Having an Ashley rumour is very easy to create, and people read it and automatically come on line to tell him to fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Never underestimate that fat b******'s ability to f*** us over. He'd fuck himself over as well. Hope it's bollocks but you never know with Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Bar Diame / Murphy did it ever go away? Doubtful. True. Nee idea what "young" means either. If it's 18/19-year-olds then aye, it's worrying. If we're after players say, under 26, then it's not a massive problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Could be truth in it. He's probably looking at the money to be made from selling players to Chinese clubs. Absolutely shambolic if it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Bar Diame / Murphy did it ever go away? Doubtful. As long as it's not 100% only buy ill suited players from that management company I'm not too arsed tbh. Doubt we'd have bought Gayle or Ritchie before Benitez, particularly in the Championship.

Not so sure. Think it's very much get out the championship at any cost and then back towards the status quo of what we were doing previously. Either way there's no need to be overt about it. I imagine he was canny peeved he couldn't bin Rafa mind. Top dollar for what he'll see as a failed manager must be killing him. Hopefully literally.

bowlingcrofty Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Has attended the last two games too. Definitely something in this. We'll find out soon enough because if he goes back on promises to Rafa then he'll be off in a shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Bar Diame / Murphy did it ever go away? Doubtful. Gamez too but yeah I agree. I'm most surprised in that article that Rafa only wants one player (a winger) and not a centre mid and/or an attacking midfielder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Could be truth in it. He's probably looking at the money to be made from selling players to Chinese clubs. Absolutely shambolic if it is. Why would the Chinese market be relevant to buying young players? The Chinese teams are all about buying 'names'. Can't see any connection at all.

We buy a young player - on the cheap - he shines, makes a name for himself, is sold for silly money. It's a fairly simple concept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only have 4 non Asian players so they won't be stocking up on midtable Premier League players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez was told he had power over transfers and I still believe he does/will continue too I'm sure Ashley will have recommended to buy younger players for cheap for the sell on value but I do not believe it's like the previous regime where we the club will now only sign u25s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
