mrmojorisin75 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. he had his zero hours contract slave go to the papers last week to say he'd give rafa this amount 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. Get realistic man! One step at a time, not a quantum leap!! 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.... Ok, lets settle with Colback back from loan then! The optimism in here, man...? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate End Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Think he’d be bored at Celtic, doubt they’d touch anywhere near what he’s on here either. Agree but the trophy aspect would definitely turn him on though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 It’d be like our Championship season all over again. It would all hinge on what they’d have to spend to compete in Europe but given Rodgers got bored and thought Leicester was more of a challenge, I doubt he’d fancy it.

Guest Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 If he was to go up there I think he’d see Rangers more appealing. They might not get anywhere in Europe but the challenge of trying to overhaul Celtic would be decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_F Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 It was based on the fact that, at the first serious meeting to discuss a new deal, Benítez had made it clear he wanted to continue as manager at St James’ Park for several more years and the club had, in turn, expressed their sincere desire that they wanted to keep him. Lol, aye ok Luke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 should be easy, should.. Offer him a one-year rolling contract or a two-year deal with break clauses. Benítez does not entirely trust the people above him and feels promises have been broken. Reassure him by providing an escape route, that he will obviously not need, because no promises are going to be broken. This does not leave them vulnerable as there can still be a compensation clause to protect the club if a rival tries to poach him while he is under contract. for me this is key, they could solve this today by asking him to sign a 1 year with no penalty clauses...if we fuck you about you can walk if they were acting in good faith they'd have done that already Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 I think letting him go will be the worst decision of the Ashley regime. Bringing in McClaren was bad but at least it had some degree of logic. Even bringing in Kinnear as DOF as a go between, kinda had some skewed logic, even though it was frankly ridiculous decision. Regardless of all the crap choices and player sales, we've genuinely got the best chance to progress now than we have had for 10 years. A calibre of manager we should be nowhere near and a squad that could be turned into the best we've had since we finished 5th. If he leaves it will signal the clubs ambition once and for all.
