AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This season if you’re not fighting relegation you’re pretty much pushing for Europe. If Charnley want us to not be involved in a relegation scrap then we’re going to be competing with the sides above us. He wants us to win the relegation scrap, not necessarily not be involved in it.

Minto1959 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Out of interest how many managers have just walked away after their contract has expired. Can’t think of any myself, as they have either resigned or been sacked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Out of interest how many managers have just walked away after their contract has expired. Can’t think of any myself, as they have either resigned or been sacked Valid question, and worth tweeting to a decent journo. It’s a different take on what is already an unusual story - when was the last time it happened, and how unusual were those circumstances? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackyboy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 One of the problems is that what would need to be spent to get us up there with the top 7 or so may possibly cost more than what we'd get back and that is the way MA will look at it. I remember reading something a couple of years ago the in the Europa League you need to get as far as the semi final just to break even. That may well have change now but I think you need to get in the Champions league to really reap the benefits. Many clubs have tried to throw money at it to get there and failed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minto1959 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 SAF retired but could have carried on if he wanted to and I believe that Wenger was pushed as the board wanted a fresh face to try and push them on. I could be wrong though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerof69 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 If Rafa goes, the ideal scenario would be people to stop going, and the club goes to shit. Failing that Xabi Alonso would be a good replacement, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Plenty will be done once Rafa goes. The only problem is they'll probably be replaced by others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon No9 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 IF Rafa stays I hope he tries to sign Mata and Hererra from Man U. Both have contracts that runs out. I think both are players that will suit us and maybe Rafa can persuade them to come here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in a million with Ashley sanction this level of progression. Nor would they come to us unless we're at the top of the tree, in the Champions league etc....

Odear Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 In fairness I can see why Ashley wouldn’t want to spunk 50-100 million to just improve by a few places. If cracking the top 4 was possible then he might be swayed but it’s virtually impossible and those teams around those places have reaped all that extra tv revenue for all these years now. We’re so far behind in terms of what they can afford. Think Rafa could do some great things with extra budget for wages though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
