Scotty66 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 At least we aren't getting reports that Rafa and Ashley are still in "discussions" Just a matter of time untill the fine details are sorted and he puts pen to paper. Anyone remember how long it took for him to be officially announced when he first arrived? was a good few days iirc. If nothing is announced by middle of next week I'll definitely start getting nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Rafa says he'll make a decision within 2 weeks before Spurs. Not even a week later and everybody loses their damn minds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 the problem is almost all reactions seem plausible. "if it was sorted it would be done by now" yeah probably "if it wasn't going to happen it would be off by now" yeah probably "the morons in charge are going to drag their feet and fuck it up" yeah that's possible too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chopey Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Season ticket renewal's are out at the end of next week so I predict an announcement Tuesday/Wednesday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Look how long it takes them to do the fans forum minutes and that's easy to corrupt... erm.. report on. Talking about the fans thing, obviously that'll be screwed if there's a Rafa revolution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 As I've already said... why are people worried? Rafa and Charnley are next due to meet on Monday, all details agreed verbally are currently being drafted into formal documents. This was known since Tuesday of this week, there has been and there will be no more news until early next week. Nothing new can be reported if nothing new has happened If he was going to leave, he already would have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club are hoping to hold a press conference with Benitez in the middle of the week after a final round of talks between him and managing director Charnley. Benitez has had interest from clubs in Turkey and China, but still wants to give Newcastle a chance to deliver on what he has asked for before talking to any rival suitors.

Sir Toon Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 New strip, proper press conference after the rugby weekend is all cleaned up and the feel good factor basically doing the selling of the season ticket, when the reality is we've just been relegated. We should be in mourning but we're on the crest of the beginning of something that could be great. the rebirth of hope. So that's how this football club ownership malarkey is supposed to be done.

Scotty66 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Ashley is thinking about giving Rafa the overdraft budget?! Is he really starting to understand how football works? Good managers + money = a team that does not contain a load of fucktards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there any reason we will get an overdraft rather than the fat mess using a small part of his obscene wealth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there any reason we will get an overdraft rather than the fat mess using a small part of his obscene wealth? It could be because he doesn't want to give us an interest free loan when he can receive interest if he invests elsewhere. An overdraft means the club finances the loan instead of him personally financing it. I think it ties in with him saying, once the money has gone, it's gone.

geordiedean Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there any reason we will get an overdraft rather than the fat mess using a small part of his obscene wealth? Why does a club with a billionaire owner need a 50m or so overdraft??.

Dave Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there any reason we will get an overdraft rather than the fat mess using a small part of his obscene wealth? He's not willing to put his own money in and hasn't for years. And it's fair enough tbh, the club makes enough money by itself. We've allegedly spent the available cash this season, that's the issue.

The thing I cling to is this clueless tag that has been labelled on Ashley and lets face it, it's a true un. The reason I cling to it is because he'll have bought us for whatever reason he did aside the promoting of his tat brand but with that, a conveyor belt of clueless people basically boring the arse off the man into doing what he has done and in that i mean strip the club of everything. With the panic signing of the best unemployed manager they could have got bar Mourinho, it has seen a phoenix like club start to rise from the ashes of once was, with that the coming together of clueless Ashley and Rafa with his infectious aura of perfection. That will have set the light bulbs off in Ashley's head that he may has struck oil. With all this, Rafa could be the pied piper that makes Ashley really want to make a fist of it here and the spin off be glory for us and brass for Ashley and his tat portfolio on the opening of further wallet strings. :frantic: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
