cp40 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ashley needs to accept the cost of ownership of a premier league club has gone beyond his means, and sell up- or show otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Nee idea why he's wasting away his career here. At some point romance has to make way. There are plenty of other legitimate clubs that would take him and treat him like the delightful man he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Rafa doing his usual, putting pressure on in the media and marking his territory 9not as obvious as before, TBF). Ashley comes out and shits all over the place and tries to show him who's boss. I'm sure this will end well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I think that article is more Douglas' interpretation of his words but still, I fucking love this man, literally I doubt not a single of the, say, top 20 or so managers in the world which is the bracket I'd class him would try and come to a club like ours and do this. And/or having to put up with owners as massive cunts as he has to cope with. Unsure about his Liverpool Hicks & Gillett feuds but those 2 can't be as loathsome as Ashley.

Shelveys Hair Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Anyone thinking because Rafa might have a bit of a clue about finances from different clubs he has been at and with us claiming how skint we are, he is thinking something is a bit off? I mean this is the richest the Premier League has ever been TV money wise, surely we can hit our transfer targets early and take the rest of the window to offload players? Puts him in a bad position if he cant tell a player to fuck off just in case he needs them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Think he'll quit now at some point. Yeah, it's feeling like the beginning of the end. The club can only try his patience for so long.

buzza Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If he's been promised the prem money we will accumulate until crimbo and next zummer, is this enough of a carrot and sufficient funding for Rafa to execute his long term plans? I think this could be whT he is doing, but if fatboy then pulls the carpet from under him... he will no doubt walk! Safe for the moment, only one rotund MF who can fcuk the whole thing up....

Dinho lad Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Wouldn't blame him if he leaves. However, I thnk he will enjoy this challenge and therefore I expect him to be around for a little while yet. If things, in his view, look hopeless, I'm sure he will leave - and rightly so.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 He's a fucking arse Simon Jordan, he can't say a thing about football after putting Palace into administration. That club is full of them tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
