I don't really care what he is like as a person or whatever as long as he's providing funds for Rafa and making good decisions for the club, he's not doing that right now, so at the moment he's a twat !

Newcastle are testing Rafael Benítez’s patience with tardy transfer work

 

https://amp.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jul/03/newcastle-rafael-benitez-transfers-walk-out

 

I didn't even make it past the first paragraph:

 

Shortly after 8am on Monday the security barrier at a deceptively nondescript‑looking suburban football training facility was raised and Rafael Benítez’s car entered the sometimes parallel universe known as Newcastle United.

One guess as to who wrote the article :lol:

I read the Guardian every day and fail to see much hatred these days tbh. She supports Sunderland, obviously, but her coverage has levelled-off on account of the two clubs each being botted up their arses by shit owners. Good article.

I wasn't worried about Rafa leaving until I  heard that Ashley is set to make money if he does.

 

Especially with this lawyer overlooking everything, making sure Mike is doing just enough to fulfil his legal commitments.

Ashley will be smarter this time and the club won't hang itself again with the conference calls bullshit (where moves for the manager's top targets were sabotaged) which Keegan had to contend with.

Fuller report here - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jul/03/sports-direct-founder-pubs-mike-ashley

 

Including this bit:

 

"Speaking in court, Blue claimed drinking copious amounts of alcohol during business meetings was not unusual for Ashley, and that the tycoon often conducts meetings “in various unusual venues” and agrees deals orally while under the influence.

 

He said that during the same meeting Ashley was also on his phone finalising player transfers at his football club. “Notwithstanding the venue and the consumption of alcohol, I note that Mr Ashley was able during the evening to conduct other business, including making decisions in regards to player transfers on behalf of Newcastle United,” Blue said."

 

Imagine that eh. Having your effort to seal a huge transfer deal trampled all over (vetoed) by some fat, sweaty, tomato skinned pisshead. Referring to Ashley personally vetoing the Modric transfer, and FCB was partying overseas when the wheels of KK's ill-fated transfer window were falling off.

According to the rumour mill, if Rafa resigns HE has to pay compensation to Ashley.

Why would any sane person have that clause in a contract
