Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

Breaking News: Wanda Group announced they can not invest Dalian Yifang anymore in the way they have done in the past 2 years. Wanda also said they will attempt to launch their own club instead of the CSL outlet Dalian Yifang, which they have not held any stake yet.

 

(Preliminary) Interpretation of Wanda's announcement: (1) It seems they have not gained control of Dalian Yifang, which is possibly an asset of the local government (2) It is an ultimatum. If their requirements are not met, they will exit and launch a new club of their own.

 

What the hell :lol:

Where's that from?  Wanda took full control a few years ago, they had to sell their stake in Atletico(?) to get it done iirc.

Statement is on the Wanda group website.

 

News sites are now reporting it.

 

I’m guessing there might be a mutual termination of Rafa Benitez’s contract if the Wanda group pull out the club?

The official announcement appeared on the group's website which indicates that it has invested a lot of money in Dalian football, 3 billion RMB for the construction of a tip top training center in Dalian as well as the establishment of a dozen teams (U12-U21)

 

Have signed agreements and invested in 10 of the best primary schools in Dalian to develop football. And the paragraph ends by saying, If Wanda does not invest in the future of football in Dalian, then what do we do?

 

Wanda therefore issues a sort of ultimatum to the CFA and the government of Dalian (who came crawling to ask them to become a shareholder in the club). Either Wanda becomes the owner or they retire and they will set up another club next door.

Life is literally tossing us a mulligan.

 

Will we take it?

 

No chance he would come here with Ashley in charge, it's the reason he left in the first place

Rafa always looked at the bigger picture. he would have taken a couple of draws/defeats short term if it meant a fitter stronger squad longer term.

today cant just be down to bad luck - if a player's carrying a knock then dont start him.

Great goal, that one. We so badly miss Perez and Rondon. Madness how anyone had suggested at any point this season that we're any better at going forward these days. Laughable, PFM agenda crap.
