HawK Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Don't understand why the debate is going on about this? If another club wanted him they'd pay the clause fee? Otherwise he'll stuck it out, simples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Yeah I agree as long as the fans doing there part involve constant anti Ashley chants inside the ground too I think supporting the team for the most part then chanting about Ashley for the last 5/10minutes at every game is the way to go at the moment. Protest at every home game in some form and the occasional away game too and constantly do it online and via the media. Then as the transfer window closes after January we start turning the screw more, and more. I think the time to turn would be post January surely, if the club don't tie him down to a new contract (which they obviously won't) then burn it all down as it won't matter anyway.

HaydnNUFC Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 He genuinely loves the club, the city and us fans just as much if not more than Liverpool. He's desperate to stay because just as the article says he's unlikely to get this level of adulation anywhere else. But he wants assurances, obviously putting the ball in Ashley's court one last time and he'll make his final decision after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Is a clause like this normal for managers? I cant say I've heard of it very often. Mind you very few managers actually walk out of clubs (apart from Pardew from us), they get sacked instead. It would be a standard release clause - if someone comes in for the manager, there is a fixed compensation fee. We're only talking about Rafa paying it because he would have to release himself if he walked, whereas normally the incoming club would pay. I'm reasonably sure Pardew had a fee in his eight yer contract (which was given to him when there ws talk of England). Ashley twigged to the idea that he could "sell" managers under certain circumstances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Stating the obvious, but its uncanny how you would struggle to get two men who are more polar opposites of each other than Rafa and Ashley. One full of honesty, loyalty and integrity, whose only goal is to win...the other full of dishonesty, dishonor and disgrace, whose only motivation is greed.

But he wants assurances, obviously putting the ball in Ashley's court one last time and he'll make his final decision after. That's all well and good but what if he signs a new contract then nothing changes still. He is here for a couple more years of early cup exits and poor transfer windows. What if he just puts up with it for the audalation and good wages. He could sign contract after contract basically just in the hope that Ashley will sell it one day and he is here for when it happens. We could potentially have another few seasons of this current state of play. That's what I reckon will happen. He is going nowhere and will stay in the hope Ashley sells soon but it won't happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Custis you legend. That's what I say to people. Look at the 10 years before Ashley and then the 10 years with him. Stabilised the club by taking it to two and nearly 3 relegations! Incredible how that comment gets used. It's the same as someone taking over Tottenham or Everton now and relegating them twice in 8 years. As for all the debate about budgets etc in the championship and Rafa buying championship players, we would have neen nowhere near the championship if it weren't for Ashley. Steven Taylor and a aging disinterested colocinni as our main cb in the 15/16 relegation sums it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
