huss9 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 heard a couple of times about hargreaves showing owen up. what did he say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Did I hear right as well that he wasn't bothered about not being in control of transfers?? I heard that. He said it wasn't a problem, i.e. he's happy with his current level of control over transfers. It's the budgets and other issues he is concerned with. I'm surprised by that I thought he was more concerned with control over transfers rather than the amount of money he has to work with. It makes more likely he will leave if that's the case.

Dokko Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 https://twitter.com/bigchrisholt/status/1119848106806468608?s=21 Its funny what happens when we have all our players settled. Rafa wants players signed early as possible, this is a perfect example of what can happen when we do settle instead of playing catch-up in fitness, tactics and settling in the area.

Happinesstan Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I think that will be key to Rafa staying. In his interview on TS he acknowledges that we can't compete for the most expensive players, and states that is why we need to be getting our signings in early. I assume Rafa knows who he wants, and we've got until Jun 30th to sign them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It's so fucking frustrating, we have this experienced top top quality manager and man who's more than willing to stay for many years and build something special. He's already laid some good foundations and built up a great team spirit and mentality within the squad. With his quality and and experience we aren't even that far away from being able to compete for "the best of the rest". Given even just decent backing and letting him do things his way I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't take very long until we're up there. He's not asking for the world yet "we" aren't willing to agree on his demands, or probably not even prepared to meet him halfway I imagine, So little needs to be done to keep him, and we can fucking afford it easily but won't. Other clubs in a similar situation would move heaven and earth to secure him, but instead we're shooting ourselves in the foot yet again and the club will implode very fast. With that being said, why the hell am I wasting my time posting similar stuff that me and others already have posted gazillion times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I assume Rafa knows who he wants, and we've got until Jun 30th to sign them. hm hadn't actually thought of it in those terms before but if it's the case ashley will call his bluff 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I can't predict with any certainty what's going to happen at this stage. It seems totally unrealistic that they're every going to meet his footballing demands, but there have been other occasions where it seems nailed-on that he'd leave - yet he stayed. Obviously you would have expected him to perhaps move-on if we got relegated in 2016, but you felt there could be a real chance after that Spurs game. It wasn't a major surprise when he decided to stay. Later, he'd have been forgiven for walking away after both summer windows but I don't think I ever felt huge concern, in either case, that he'd actually resign. I think the most worried I've felt was after his first January transfer window in the Championship season, where he first experienced their stubbornness to go against his better judgement. It was the first time we saw him absolutely seething (I remember the interview after we drew 2-2 at home to QPR), and you really thought he might say 'thanks but no thanks.' That was when we truly learnt the extent of his desire to stay here and build something. Really don't know what's going to happen now but we're definitely at DEFCON-2. He wants to stay but the board don't appreciate (or care about) what they have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 With a tiny bit more player investment we could turn some of those close defeats into draws and wins. Possibly protjecting us into 8th or 7th and have good cup runs. For Ashley it's not about that. It's about lurking in the prem league and using the club as a advertising space. Like a leach hang onto it's host. Ashley needs to keep our aspirations in check. As all that costs money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Yesterday I found very bittersweet. A very good performance and a good win which should make us safe for another year, and a good indication of where he could take us. On the other hand it was likely his penultimate home game, possibly his last home points as well. Yesterday was exactly why I want to support this club. A club in my city, in the sun, good football, decent people around me, and a pleasing win and something to be proud of. To think that we are on the brink of losing that, if Rafa goes it will just turn into another Pardew type scenario where we have a yes man in charge who is out of his depth, and no desire from the club to want better. I mean back then they let us surrender to the mackems a few times, actively wanted us out of the cups, and let the manager do things like headbutt opposition players and drag our name through the dirt without even considering sacking him.
