Ketsbaia Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 If he signs a new deal, the takeover is clearly on and this was a demand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 He would be mad to stick around. Having said that, in a perverse way, he loves the political side of football and likes the challenge of making others see the light or way, his way.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 At this point, however, o can only think this is some kind of PR shit coming from the club... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I think i'm having a brain fart but if Rafa signed a 3 year deal in May 2017, how can he only have 18 months left in January 2018. EDIT :FFS, it was May 2016 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Can't see why he'd sign any new deal anyway, so the whole prospect is moot. he'll not sign a new deal/extension and Ashley will view it as a snub and sack him saying he's not committed...

Dave Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Criminally underfund your world-class manager and then expect him to do you a favour by signing a contract extension Even better, they were using him as selling point to prospective buyers of the club.

Greg Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 “If we have the players to attack, we attack,” said Benitez. “But you have to defend against the best team in the country, you have to defend. “We’re not Liverpool, we’re not Arsenal. We don’t have five players who will win a game on their own. Managers have to manage in the way they have to manage. “My first game with Extremadura was against Barcelona – we lost 1-0, but we played 4-4-2, we pressed high, the difference between that and now is massive. The gap between the best teams and the rest is bigger. There is a massive difference between the rest and the top six.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 A part of me admires the absolute colossal balls they're sporting Maybe if they were serious about keeping him, which they absolutely won't be. Ashley will know fine well that Rafa isn't going to sign a new contract after being pissed about, but no harm in trying eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Rafa should tell them he'll give them an answer 10 days before his contract ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
