Odear Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Breaking News! I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger pr war between Ashley and Benitez. The only information we have got regarding Benitez's contract situation is from Benitez himself during his press conferences. At this stage I think no news is good news. Rafa certainly upped the ante with his comments in previous weeks and ever since the “positive” olive branch he’s not made any pointed comments regarding the club. He does want to stay. Everyone knows this but he’s also a man of principal. He got shafted by a bad agent the last time in regards to the fine print of his contract. His hands were tied so he had to see his contract out. This time it will be on his terms and he will have better agents looking out for his interests. It’s about somehow meeting the club halfway somewhere. I have no idea what’s acceptable to him in terms of compromise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Chron: Benitez said: "We have one game to play and have to try to do well. "We can finish one position higher in the table and we will try to do that. "After that, we will know. "I have some players asking me questions but still I don’t know. "If we have waited eight months, we can wait another 10 days." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjmc Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Or its rondon and not him he means: After Rondon was named player of the year at Newcastle, the question on securing the striker on a permanent deal also came up. Benitez said: "It is easy to say we have to sign him. "But still we have to see what is going on with me! "In 10 days we will know what is going on." Although in 10 days it will only be known whether West Brom have made the play-off final or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Also, wouldn't surprise me the slightest if Rafa is sick of basically nothing happening and has set a deadline date that is in 10 days. I mean he doesn't even know if Ashley's gonna be there for the meeting or not. He should have been tied up to a longterm contract already if we were even half ambitious as a club. Can't see him staying, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he has waited 8 months tells me Ashley does not want him here and is just playing the waiting game till he can sign a bloke who will keep us up much cheaper than Rafa.

Ketsbaia Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Therefore both sides need to compromise. Maybe Rafa needs to accept China trips and generally younger signings, whilst Ashley needs to allow an occasional Rondon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Signing Rondon secures our Premiership statue under Rafa for at least the next 2 seasons and probably next under a new manager. Easiest decision Ashley has to make. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
