Sir Toon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 There's a load of sheep/fans that go now with a clueless mentality. aside from mock them in their laughable attempts at support which includes the minute tributes, some education or re-education is needed. Only thing different now from the compensation case days is that no player has been brought in against Rafa's wishes. The deceit over bidding for a player is still there. Mind this can be investigated easily enough by just asking the Palace end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Its clear as day what the craic is. The cunt has creamed himself over getting 55m for Wij and Sissoko and knows he wont get it with Rafa. Profit before success. Once again as it always has been and always will be.

TRon Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The atmosphere could turn ugly if we don't get a performance on Saturday. By then the news that Rafa's been stabbed in the back will have filtered through to the general public so I would bet Ashley won't be in the stands this week.

BlueStar Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Has nobody explained to Rafa that it's just media bollocks trying to stir things up? He probably just thinks it wasn't his decision because he read it in the Mirror, you know what they're like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shintonsghost Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 So can someone sum up what im getting here. Rafa didnt get his targets and now has the lip on because of it, we are rightly blaming the cronies for it and Rafa is close to walking because of it? Is that fact or just what we are thinking. Sorry i just have had time to go through all threads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hate to say Pardew was right about anything but when he said 'Ashley does things that aren't in the best interest of the club at times' well something along those lines anyhoo. Definitely rings true that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Ashley's just spunked his load on a 11% share in French Connection. Someone buy 100% of MASH ffs. Loving the Avatar change. We've found the new club crest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Don't know why everyone blames Ashley. It's clearly the fault of Charnley. He is the one that ultimately decides whether to pay the asking price for transfers. It's plainly obvious Charnley was not prepared to pay palace any more than we got for Townsend and I think he was right. I also believe he was right not to increase the £15m offer for Mccarthy as I don't believe he is even worth the £13m Everton paid for him. This has to be someone working for the club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years prior we were beating Liverpool to the signing of Englands best striker from Real fuckin Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his point is we were paying big money for a proven international player because mid-table mediocrity wasn't good enough. Things are unrecognisable from that.

Scoreboard82 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Think my days as a fan are numbered tbh. Obviously you expect ups and downs but so many downs with this lot. Even when things seem rosy you're always waiting for it to go wrong. Even if we go up there's every chance Ashley will give Rafa, a proven manager who offered hope, no option but to leave. It's football and you have to put some perspective on it, but it just makes me miserable for so much of the time. Find my self coming home from SJP after a s**t result and envying shoppers etc who just don't care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 It's gone from Rafa and Charnley having discussions every day to Rafa not knowing what's going on and that is a big, big change. Rafa seemed really disgruntled last night and clearly not happy. Ashley has appeared back in the decision making and Carr seems to have got a lot of influence again. If people aren't worried about this they must have there heads up there arses (or Ashley's) I've followed my team for 65 years (now 73) and if Rafa goes that is the end for me.
