Ronaldo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 He's talked about wanting a couple of players in every presser for 6 weeks. It looks like he's getting none. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 He's also in his press conferences consistently spoke about the difficulty of doing deals this window. He'll be disappointed but understanding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 He's talked about wanting a couple of players in every presser for 6 weeks. It looks like he's getting none. Thats the problem though when you have Carr and Chanley before you. They get nothing done. He must have been a fool to believe it in the first place, either that or he understands the difficulties in negotiations in January. I dont actually think we need anyone. If it was so so bad we have plenty we could recall from loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charnley certainly didn't seem to have any issues brokering our 12 odd signings in the summer like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

duo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I know don't why we're even taking about him walking. Stupid man. He won't walk now - but come end of season - promotion or not if Ashley isn't backing him he's going to walk. Rafa would have had plenty of potential targets and to not even get one player in is a poor sign of intent from Ashley. I can't believe some of you aren't worried.

shintonsghost Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just wondering though, why wouldn't Ashley back Rafa after he backed a useless manager like McClaren with big money? You can say Ashley will never change his policy but he already did when he gave that chump £80m to spend in one summer. Fair point that mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Aye Caulkin is sound but I think it's more disappointment from Rafa's side, rather than betrayal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I'll be very surprised if he's here beyond the summer of 2018. Assuming we go up Ashley will eventually start acting the rotten cunt once he feels we're looking solidly established in the Premiership. He might give Rafa enough this coming summer to keep him but eventually it'll all go tits up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtype Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Seems to me that Rafa and Ashley are in general agreement that the squad is strong enough to go up and there's no point in overpaying for players who won't be useful in the Premier League next year.
