Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)

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.

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

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.

I think the question is why the "reimbursement agreement" was rescinded.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.

Maybe it was rescinded because Ashley believes the deal will be completed before mid Jan, wishful thinking I know.

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.

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
