Guest chopey Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yup Ashley we know is a cunt and I would expect nothing less but Charnley needs run out of town for allowing this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yup Ashley we know is a cunt and I would expect nothing less but Charnley needs run out of town for allowing this. Charnley is just a puppet yes man with no self respect or levels of pride simply because the incompetent cunt knows if he was to lose his job he'd never ever get a similar position again unlike decent chairmen. The weasel is absolutely terrified of losing his job as he'd end up flipping burgers in McDonald's if he did Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 What really makes it worse for Rafa is that there wasn't a single failed transfer by managers before him. Really shows him up as the useless twat that he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm not sure I believe that Rafa would be getting money if he had signed. There's no situation in which he'd have gotten any money. Not signed? Fine, fuck you, we're spending nothing on players. Signed? Mug, now you're tied in, we're spending nothing on players.

TRon Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm not sure I believe that Rafa would be getting money if he had signed. If they really wanted him to sign they could just have bought the players he asked for and his signature would be on the contract by now. It's obvious bullshit.

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A combined loss of £9.08m. Despite him making a profit of around £50m over 4 transfer windows. Ashley's stupidity really knows no bounds, he's going to lose far, far, far more once Rafa leaves. £1.08m on Murphy, a player who massively helped us gain promotion. Gamez was free. £3m on Lazaar. £5m on Sels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm not sure I believe that Rafa would be getting money if he had signed. If they really wanted him to sign they could just have bought the players he asked for and his signature would be on the contract by now. It's obvious bullshit. Of course they don't want him long-term - him staying necessarily means we become competitive and expectations are raised accordingly, which runs contrary to our purpose as a club that serves as one massive Sports Direct advert to a global audience. The managerial strategy will be to continue to gamble on whichever name is available to keep us afloat, and only spend serious money if we go down. That Rafa fell into their lap was just a helpful bonus that ensured some semblance of continued (comparative) success and therefore more exposure for Sports Direct. I would wager good money that Ashley's view is that some vaguely capable manager will always be available, with more money released the less capable they are.

Stottie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Gamez was a free transfer!!!!! Transfermarkt says Lazaar was 2.57 million pounds. Is this shite being put out there for pricks like Dennis Wise to defend the club with? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm not sure I believe that Rafa would be getting money if he had signed. There's no situation in which he'd have gotten any money. Not signed? Fine, fuck you, we're spending nothing on players. Signed? Mug, now you're tied in, we're spending nothing on players. This. We all know how it would have played out if he'd signed. And blaming Rafa for 3 "failures"... Every single team signs players that don't work out. Just such a rubbish excuse. Plus, it's not even like they cost much. We've lost money on players who cost next to nothing and were, for the most part, squad fillers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 They’re just desperately trying to find reasons for treating Benitez like absolute shit. They’re utter scum and if it wasn’t Gamez, Murphy and Lazaar they’d just find something else instead. They’re under pressure and hoping some folk swallow it. The sad thing is that a few will focus on his “mistakes” and agree, you can hear them now, ‘wey if he’s not going to sign another deal then why give him the money? Keep it for the new bloke’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 There exist a set of people who unfortunately because they see a letter head or tweet with the crest on cannot overcome the cognitive dissonance required to hold the club to account.

Totally forgot we'd sold him and not just sent him out on loan. So a combined loss of £5.08m on those players and a combined ~£50m profit. I don't think I have the ability to end these sort of posts without just name calling Ashley for a relentlessly thick cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 We have a World Class manager, who has managed to get this club back into the Premiership and finish higher than we could have imagined at the start of last season. Even just a bit of funding could have seen a great season ahead. I look forward to Alan Curbishley being our Manager come Feb 2019. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Poor Rafa: One of the responses to the original tweet: "Despite everything its still been a good window, of course they should of spent more money and addressed the left back issue, but the quality of player weve signed is really good" Mongs like this deserve Ashley, like.
