Collage Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Honestly people have such short memories of Ashley. This is the guy who appointed Joe Kinnear twice. I'd rather air on the side of extreme caution. I don't trust him and will never ever trust him. This is the bottom line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm cautious about everything involving Ashley but I'm not going to sit and speculate until it's all truly comes crashing down. There's no point wasting energy on guessing a vague article by 1 journo at this point. You're free to be as emotive as you'd like, I didn't say anything otherwise than an observation of this forum in recent times. While we're top of the league as well Strictly speaking, we are top of the division. there are 20 teams above us, in the league. Strictly speaking, you're a rectangle.

Bimpy474 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm not sure anything has changed since the summer, i thought that it was looking for younger players that Rafa wants and the odd older player if he wants them too. Not sure what the worry is (Ashley...i know i know). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Considering Rafa has called the NUFC job a project you'd think younger players would be his priority too in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Graeme Bailey is piping up that Graeme Carr has final say on all transfers. Ashley likes the fact he made money out of the sissoko, cabaye and winaljdum deals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 What the fuck is this obsession with Graham Carr ffs the bloke who managed Northampton is more important and has the final say over a CL winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 What the fuck is this obsession with Graham Carr ffs the bloke who managed Northampton is more important and has the final say over a CL winner. Some of his recommendations have been hugely profitable for the club. Which ultimately is what really counts in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and there's more money in the Premiership surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought just being in the Premiership has now outstripped that in regard to money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Murphy and Gamez are two of the elder players we signed and both have barely played. I think both will leave at the end of the season and we'll get very little for the pair of them. Ashley won't like that and wants to avoid any similar deals, at least I hope that's all it is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Yeah, but if this meeting took place pre-Birmingham as suggested I don't think they had 5 appearances between them. Basically being paid for nothing, the Ashley nightmare Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to panic just yet, Rafa is the key to it all, he'll not put up with shit but if he goes, i'm hoying myself of the shed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackyboy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Ashley owns the club lock stock and barrel, I think he is entitled to have an input. He is also shrewd enough to see the improvements that are taking place and can;t see him destroying that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
