Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)

They really do miss the brief, Rafa has said it so often he wants a project he wants investment in the infrastructure of the club and Ashley just thinks he can fix it with a cash bung.

I'm sure Rafa would rather the club offered him his current £6m a year salary but used the £9m left over to upgrade the training facilities.

 

Basically the same point as chopey who posted at the same time.

 

Not that I believe they've offered Rafa £15m for a year contract.

£15m  :lol:

 

Looking forward to the knackers bringing it up like gospel when Rafa leaves. "Turned down £15m man, didn't want to be here man. Get behind Sherwood and the lads man"

I said it before, but a 1 year contract extension for Benitez is pointless. It doesn't remove any uncertainty and the club will have the same attitude as last summer in that they won't give Benitez money unless he commits long term or that's what they say. Its either Benitez leaves or signs a new 3 year contract because I think most people are fed up with the Benitez contract situation being an issue every week.

I still think if he was going to sign he would have done so by now

 

You’re probably right, but it’s entirely possible that Ashley genuinely thinks Rafa is going to fold and accept his terms, and is surprised there is an impasse.

Hmmm I suspect he will prefer signing a one year deal tbh so he can leave if the promised investment doesn't happen. The club will want to tie him down longer than hang him out to dry with usual lies about transfer budgets etc

Am I allowed to give it hope that the 1 year extension is to give new owners options? In the event they don't want him, they only need to wait a year (not sure i'd want such owners)

He's already waited 3 years for investment I can't see the point of waiting another year "just in case"
