Mole_Toonfan Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 The gesture might not mean much in real terms to Ashley but it will sure as s**** mean something to the staff if we win On the game i actually think it will be quite close due quite frankly to the return of Coloccini its no coincidence we have looked a lot more solid since return only conceding against QPR due to a penalty which wasn't even in the box. I still expect Arsenal to win sadly but i think it will be the odd goal rather than 3 or 4 like it might have seemed after the Liverpool game.

Guest neesy111 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Maybe if paid enough for a good manager he wouldn't have to do these stunts at the end of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 He'll get the money back by gaining one or two league places rather than dropping one or two. Clever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree but the money is going to cleaners and the stewards etc etc. Seems a horrible thing to say but i doubt the players will give two shits about that.

It is possible that the staff will get the bonus win or lose. I reckon Ashley has told the players that he will pay the £1m bonus if we win, but if we do lose, its the players who have to stump up the £1m!!! Now thats what I would call an incentive!

Newcastle Fan Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Always loved Harps, i remember there was a time when he and Given we're being rotated in sticks and Shay was not happy with it, Harper was terrific at that time but eventually was dropped and Shay started the rest of the season. pissed me off.

Foluwashola Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Quite looking forward to this today. Should be a laid back atmosphere (providing the NO protest doesn't effect things) and a pleasant parting of ways with Harper. Who knows, we might even win.
