Guest firetotheworks Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Rafa just told the press in the Luton pre match press briefing that he still hasn't been told his budget. There's no real difference, but I just hope that all of this is the equivalent of Ashley checking out early having handed in his notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Politics in my opinion. People wetting their pants about it on twitter, drives more hate towards Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Rafa just told the press in the Luton pre match press briefing that he still hasn't been told his budget. Because it's now infinite and he has no limited budget? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just waiting until tomorrow when the takeover is completed obvs. Going to be scary to see how people are effected if nothing comes to light tomorrow. I don't believe anyone actually thinks anything is happening tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just watched his presser on SSN - Jesus - I hope he is just keeping counsel and playing games with the press - didn’t sound happy at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Still doesn't know his budget. I couldn't work out if he was playing games or a bit pissed off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Still doesn't know his budget. I couldn't work out if he was playing games or a bit p*ssed off. I thought the latter by his mannerisms - looked mega pissed-off. Treating a manager like Rafa like he has done for the past year - fuck off Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Pressuring Ashley just gets you less and less off him. He'll do it his way no matter what and his way is to not care. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So unless Rafa is just pretending to know (which I think is fairly likely tbh), my guess is that due to the takeover uncertainty they're just not telling him what if anything he can do in this window. He's probably asking Charnley who doesn't know his arse from his elbow. Ashley's gambling with the club's Premier League status once again, essentially. And if Rafa walks, potentially more than that.

Zero Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think the question is why the "reimbursement agreement" was rescinded. This is quite crucial to our survival and if I am PCP, i would not do the deal because the squad is not strengthened and I would have to bear huge relegation risk after the take over.

TRon Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Seems to me if Rafa is looking agitated, it's because there's no movement as far as transfers go. Liverpool got Van Dijk confirmed before the window was even open. While Ashley's the owner it will be same as usual...and Ashley is still the owner.

That's the only reasonable conclusion I can come to as to why the reimbursement thing hasn't come to fruition and aye, it's very wishful. The bloke is such a cunt, genuinely hope he dies.

gdm Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ain't seen the presser yet, is this correct? I just saw some highlights, and I wouldn't say smiling throughout. He was smiling quite a bit and didn’t look all that pissed off. Pointless trying to read his body language tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
