Cronky Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Rafa may be having difficulty finding a job because I think he has a reputation now for not getting on with club owners, and that doesn't just mean Ashley. That's not necessarily fair, but I think that's what's around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that Mike Ashley has since poisoned his name about the place. I always hear the likes of Simon Jordan spouting nonsense about him being a trouble maker, I wonder who on Earth he heard that from other than his pal Mike Ashley.

andycap Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 He bought championship players to get outta the league. When we got the Premier league Ashley wouldn't part with the money to improve us so we were left with piss poor prem players, yet the man had us comfortable which is a feat in itself.

andycap Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I tell you what like it wasn't that long ago that he was here, yet were all having to refresh posters memory's about the circumstances. Almost like there on a wind up or just dense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pretty much had to hedge his bets on getting a 100% success rate on every signing he made which, let's face it, would have been highly unlikely. You're on the fucking windup by saying he could have 'spent money better'. Genuinely, the cheek of saying this, man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember what he had when we went down under his tenure (not all his fault obviously). Look what he spent to get us out of that championship. Then he spent to stabilise us in the premier league along with the better players he kept. He had enough players at his disposal to do a job of consolidating our position. We didn't have the big bucks to challenge the sugar daddies but Ashley certainly could've offered a few quid more, yet Benitez could've got more out of some of those players he had, I think.

It was a decent amount and he could've done much better if he used players better and bought better. Let's look at his final season with us and see what players he had at his disposal. We had some decent players at the time which weren't properly used in my opinion. Bravo Can you do the moon landings next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
