So Rafa and Ashley met on Thursday. Then both respective agents and legal advisors for both parties thrashed out a provisional contract on Friday for both Ashley and Rafa to go over this weekend.

 

I assume this means Justin Barnes will be representing the club and dealing with Rafas team.

 

I’m not any more hopeful that he will stay but my understanding of it, is that there’s bits in the contract that Rafa wants and then bits that Mike does.. so it’s anyones guess if that’s enough to make it happen.

Barnes isn't a practising legal professional, so no. Club will be represented by their usual legal advisors (they use a number of firms for different things).

Ashley - I don't want to invest in players in their 30s there is no value for money.

 

Benitez - Fine lets invest in the academy and bring in our young players through.

 

Ashley - No don't want to do that either, costs a lot of money.

 

Benitez - So let me get this straight, you don't want to invest in players in their 30s, but not in the academy either.

 

Ashley - Glad you understand my vision.

I thought BSkyB have a percentage in the company? Not a major percentage but a percentage.
