merlin Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Ah, s***. Well, we had a decent six months or so of hope, that's not bad for us. Best get ready for another five or six years of misery under some PFM knacker. Old Pards is free right now. Just saying....... Don't joke about it....apparently, Bayern Munich want Klopp and Benitez would be a ready-made replacement for him if he left Liverpool. Home on Merseyside etc., and it would be typical Ashley to re-appoint an out-of- work Pardew, partly to rub it into the fans and also because it would be cheap ; he has form with Kinnear remember...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The mirror is absolutely full of shit. If there was any truth to it then Rafa would already be gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 My prediction... Rafa will takes us up and then will leave to take over West Ham. And Ashley will be happy with that! A very possible scenario but don't rule out a return to Liverpool if Bayern are successful in prising Klopp away at the end of the season. Either way, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Rafa off at the end of the season if he is unhappy at transfer policy - nobody objects to signing young promising players but the end decision on who is signed and why should be the managers and players should be signed to BUILD a side, not so they can be sold on in a year or two's time...

gdm Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Lee Ryder We've put the question to #nufc this morning on what the club's transfer policy is. Very much a developing story this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm not buying this tbh, it's come from one guy at the Mirror who's reputation is far from positive so I'm told. None of the local journalists, who have their ears to ground a hell of a lot more than national journalists have as yet ran a story or even said anything about it. I also believe all this was discussed and agreed upon in the summer and is part of the reason Rafa is even here, I see no reason why this would change. The article is also so flimsy, it merely suggests we want to sign players with sell on value, well derr so does pretty much every other club, this isn't news.

Never will be, though, will it, with this pondlife still as owner. Smoke and mirrors. People have been distracted by Rafa and our decent (but not outstanding) performances in the 2nd tier. But we ALL know what he's like. If he's had some sort of epiphany, I must have missed it. The feeling that when we get back into the top flight he'll just revert to type is hard to shake.

No quotes, just s***-stirring, nothing to worry about. Aye. Just catching up. Hilarious/pathetic amount of this stuff in the thread after they equalised. I know we've not being playing well recently but people are desperate to be negative. Actually sounded like quite an entertaining match today, haven't seen the highlights yet.

What? The two could be completely unrelated as far as we're aware. We're speculating and assuming the worst. That's absolutely no reason to go off on one as if our promotion chances are over or we're going to be nailed on for relegation next season. People need to calm down and see what happens over the next few days / rest of the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Logic Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 99% sure this is a pile of shite. Ashley has been seen at several of our games in the south, seems the closer to London the more likely. Journo is a wanker. Plus, Ashley might be a twat but he's not a fucking idiot. Rafa got guarantees, if they get broken then Ashley will be back to square one.
