Parky Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 So essentially what it looks like was that (as many "conspiracy theorists" aka people who know what Ashley is like, said) the Chinese takeover thing was basically just a smokescreen to do no business and hold things up unnecessarily. Straight out the Ashley playbook. Pure smoke and mirrors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Ashley also clearly not happy with a fat wage bill for players who get no game time hence the 'sell before you buy' line. Risky business. Rafa would've probably (and rightly) expected to be trusted to shift out the deadwood AFTER the first four were threw the door. Ashley, being the worlds biggest fucking ego, thinks he knows better and wants it done his way. There will be a constant clash of ego's here until either Rafa leaves or someone else buys us. Let's pray for the latter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Unless he's one of those weird top managers who wants to win things? He's been there and done that. He's got a project here. We're more than capable of a safe season and then to build as the income increases. It depends on whether he trusts those at the top to deliver when the income comes in. He certainly gives the impression that he's been let down in the transfer market in the last couple of windows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Like I said yesterday, I think he's here till the end of his contract at least. For me it's not a case of whether he'll resign, more will he re-sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's not a case of whether he'll resign, more will he re-sign. Pretty much agree with this, although he might leave at the end of this season if he gets a better offer. Nothing's changed, he'll have a good idea if he can actually build something here by next summer or whether he's expected to be a top of the range Steve McClaren.

Heron Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm of the opinion we just enjoy him while he lasts. Obviously the longer the better. Be the 12th man and make up for lack in players' ability. For Rafa's sake. For our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Rafa's sake. For our own. Spot on. We've pulled a corker and people are jealous we're punching above our weight and eager to jump on any story, any murmur or any thought to try and stir the pot. Be it close friends, an ex or gossip girls, they want to see the fall out and misery. We can either be paranoid, get depressed and ruin it for ourselves or enjoy it while it lasts. Nothing lasts forever, everything ends. But of course that's just arrogant and ignorant to think like that, best not enjoy a single minute of it believing all the lies and half truths just so your self fulfilling prophecy comes in and you can tell everyone you knew it was coming.

And the drama is quashed. Some absolute fannies on here. And others who are arrogant in their willful ignorance, acting as if nothing ever happens. Not arrogance just some fans can't see serious problems or choose not to when it's abundantly clear. This squad will have serious problems stopping up. There's a number of players who are either total s*** or have question marks whether they can cut it in the premier. The manager is obviously bordering on being dillusioned with the current transfer policy and the only reason he is stopping is due to a sense of loyalty to the fans. Think it's quite sad when people come out with 'fannies', 'bed wetters' or 'cry babies' when the problems at this club or so obvious that when people say this they are either so blinkered or just plain clueless. Rafa is not a god and he can only take players with questionable top flight quality so far and that's why his annoyance is increasing daily. It's really not rocket science.

Completely disagree with this, our first 11 is much much better than most on here want to give it credit for, I dunno why that is. maybe it's too much listening to mackem lies, read a post on there the other day that said, even in there current state , their current team would easily beat ours. Even beyond the first 11 we have some quality too, in the likes of Murphy, Aarons, the team captain, and Merino. The problem with our squad is that we have limited back up for the likes of Shelvey and Gayle, but if those two stay fit the bulk of the season, we'll be absolutely fine and anyone getting their knickers in a twist about this being a relegation battle, is talking nonsense, the bottom of the PL didn't get so much better in the space of one transfer window, it's still pretty poor on the whole and has nothing, even with our current squad for us to be afraid of.
