Guest chopey Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Ashley has said that Rafa can have every penny the club makes do we actually know how much that is ? I don't think there will be many teams this season that owners actually put money towards a transfer kitty, I just get the feeling that Ashley takes out alot more than other owners before releasing funds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 This is pure music for Ashley. He doesn't need to "promise funds" to the manager anymore. I mean a new manager of course, like Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 There's absolutely no way Ashley wins if Rafa leaves like. Ashley has shown time and time again that he hates protests, can you imagine the scale of them if Rafa left? Especially when some cunt would just replace him. This If Rafa leaves everything comes tumbling down around Ashley’s ears. Fans will walk away, there will be major protests. Players will ask to leave and no decent player will want to go anywhere near the club. If Ashley’s idea is to wipe millions of pounds of the price of his asset and to basically have us heading in the direction of Sunderland then yes this WestHam link has played right into his hand. More than likely this is going to strengthen Benitez’s negotiation hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If Ashkey cocks up and Rafa goes then that'll be me done with the club until Ashley goes whenever that is. I lost interest before and stopped going when we had the continuum of utter dross as manager and usual bollocks at board level with transfers or lack of. It wouldn't even be a hard choice, the soul will have been ripped out of the club once again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 It's close season so any protests would be where exactly? Ashley could gamble that it'll all blow over after the world cup and before August. Plus it gives his mates in sky a chance to develop the spin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it gives his mates in sky a chance to develop the spin The protests would be in the form of the non-renewal of season tickets.......he certainly wouldn't be getting my two back. This wouldn't just blow over this time, and I think even Ashley realises that. Benitez has single-handedly doubled the club's value, surely even the businessman in him can see this, even though he clearly knows absolutely fuck all about the football side of things.

SUPERTOON Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Perfect time for this to happen, will speed a decision up either way and if he stays we know he has the assurances he wants, if he leaves we can all get on with hating the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I haven't been back since i dropped my ticket down the drain outside the Strawberry corner when my mate tried to convince me to go back in Was really tempted to get it back under Rafa in the Championship, but to be honest I thought fatty would have fucked it up by now. Sticking to my guns until he leaves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 All this news is from West Hams end, presumably in an attempt to unsettle him. We want Rafa to stay, Rafa wants to stay, we need to calm down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will be many teams this season that owners actually put money towards a transfer kitty, I just get the feeling that Ashley takes out alot more than other owners before releasing funds Why bother still after one decade with him? If he is serious, he doesn't need to have any PR stuff like press releases or statements. Just let Rafa spend without a word and we will know if he keeps to the same BS at the end of the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Rafa`s under contract, at a club he loves amidst fans who love him & in an area he has a great affinity to. (He's also very handsomely rewarded as well) Unless Fat bloke bins him, he doesn't walk - end of Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Ashley hates protest but he never fears for it. In his mind it's simple: 1. 6m profit 2. A squad good enough for survive 3. A new Pardew - that means more profit We are seriously fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
