ads Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Managers come and go, yes. One's who come and take to the club, the city, the fans and truly understand it and want to take everybody on the journey to build it all up from scratch, whilst having absolutely no intention whatsoever of wanting to go elsewhere despite the far better professional and financial roles that are readily available, are extremely rare. Losing Rafa is more than losing a manager. Amen. Anybody who is entertaining the idea of changing manager, takeover or not, surely doesn't appreciate a) what Rafa has done for this club, and b) what he embodies Even if the takeover happens and we sign £30-50m players, I'd be absolutely gutted if Rafa wasn't here.

ToonArmy1892 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 They do appreciate it but getting rid of Ashley is more important than keeping Rafa, just the way it is, no one person is bigger than the club. Obviously i want both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Mourinho’s not coming here ffs If the Sheikhs wanted and threw the money at him, he absolutely would come here IMO. Part of him I think would love to win Mr. Robson's team a trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of him I think would love to win Mr. Robson's team a trophy. Agree. Mourinho would potentially come here, but he'd want the sort of money that would allow him to challenge for titles, I don't think BZG are planning on doing that if reports are true. Really you would think we already have the ideal manager to maximise a team's potential on a 2nd tier budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If Rafa goes and this takeover is a load of bullshit as I suspect, then I have to say, I'm totally out. Football would be dead to me. Same here. I've already paid for next season's season ticket. Renewed in March in the total hope Rafa stayed so I'm in for next season. Probably not go much if Rafa leaves and we're stuck with Ashley. Will be cancelling after having my season ticket for 27 years if all of the above happens which it probably will. What you mean not go much, you would actually still go Ashley and no Rafa? Yee must be mental. I've paid for it so what difference would it make. More chance of going to the town and stopping in the pub tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Any group taking over would surely keep Rafa. If they didn't even try to then it would be a bad omen for the future. No one could be that stupid. Whatever "source" started this Mourinho / Wenger shit is playing right into the clubs hands, we've actually got fans discussing whether they'd take Mourinho...meanwhile the clock is ticking on Rafa's contract. Mourinho’s not coming here ffs This basically Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Rafa is the only manager I want here at the moment and he deserves his chance with some money to spend for this connection he's made with the club, the fans and the city. However, that being said Ashley leaving is infinitely more important than anything else at the moment and given a direct choice I'm afraid it would be Ashley gone every time. We can only hope for both of these to happen. I still think it was a misconstrued (probably on purpose to sell some rags) quote, BZG, I believe, only stated that their main priority is buying the club, as it should be and if they were to miss out on Rafa then there are other options, the rest has been pure guesswork and blown out of proportion.

Mr Logic Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If we lose Rafa I'll be gutted, everything he has done up to now will unravel quickly, and if the takeover doesn't happen I'm lumping on relegation next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm telling you, Rafas contract hold up HAS to be because of a takeover. It's the only thing that makes sense. Either Ashley intends to sell before his contract is up, therefore sees no reason to renew his contract. Or BZG have told him not renew as they want their own man.
