Scotty66 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I think once Carr leaves and rafa has full control of transfers, ashley will be reluctant to p*ss him off as he knows he can no longer bring in a mouthpiece manager after rafa due to the collapse in the transfer policy that the club has stuck too for so long. Before it was a case of "here's the players make it work and don't argue". However with rafa that's not the case and I just can't see ashley wanting to go back to that transfer policy ever again.

cp40 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The staggering situation where we could end up with more ST holders in the Championship than the Premier League. well if rafa stays and we are chasing promotion, I'm sure we will paly in front of 50k crowds in the championship.

I agree. I think also having lost a shitload of money trying to do things on the cheap with the inevitable relegation must have finally opened his eyes that you do need a football man in charge at the club. He's lucked out really to have landed one who knows the game inside out. If he doesn't realise that then he's basically brain dead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Fuck man, I wish Ashley didn't sanction 100M of waste to then get relegated, wish we had that sitting around for Rafa to use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Open_C Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Bet the new shirt gets revealed on Wednesday. "We thought it was time to move away from the black and white stripes but we didn't want to brand it after any of Mike's other business interests, so we've made it red and blue to coincide with Rafa's initials" I see what these fuckers are up to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Bet the new shirt gets revealed on Wednesday. Doubt it, they have consistently revealed it like a week before the season started in recent memory. Rafa or not I don't see why that changes.

Scotty66 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This blokes career record is just insane. A total of 971 games managed,winning 493,drawing 238 and losing just 240! With a GD of + 639. Win % of 50.77. We need this man to stay here for the next 10 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The staggering situation where we could end up with more ST holders in the Championship than the Premier League. Do you honestly think that will happen? I very much doubt it. Tickets will be cheaper for individual games, and no games will sell out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Do you honestly think that will happen? I very much doubt it. Tickets will be cheaper for individual games, and no games will sell out. 4 of us walked away 2 seasons ago against Cardiff and all 4 are going back if Rafa is manager.

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Away games only for me! Aye, same here, which is devastating having returned home after a decade but I'm not giving that cunt a fucking penny. Will have to see about the most friendly away games to take the bairn to, see if I can get her into it. We've just moved close to Middlesbrough so all she's hearing about is Boro atm.
