People still suggesting that this is a ploy from Ashley? FFS. There are much easier ways to create a false flag event than getting an Arab consortium to agree to fuck with the fans to delay over Rafa's contract talks. Would be much easier for them to let his contract peter out.

 

Much likelier that Ashley is stringing them along to squeeze as much money out as humanly possible. Much likelier it will collapse because of this.

This time next week we will have no manager or coaching team a rudderless ship in effect

 

Wonder if there will still be a no comment from the club

 

What did they do 10 years ago?

 

Didn't Hughton turn up unpaid for the first few weeks? (Might be wrong on that but he wasn't appointed caretaker manager until a few weeks later). Did the club make any announcement before pre-season began that year?

 

It's such a joke that we literally have history of this type of shit.  :lol:

Hughton wasn’t unpaid he was just the most senior coach whose contract was still ongoing.

 

Which in this case is probably Redfearn

 

Cool, wasn't sure but thought it was something I heard.

 

Still find it unbelievable that this isn't the first time we've been in this situation though.  :lol:

It's all about preparing for the outcry when he walks away. The smearing of him as an individual will be stomach churning. They'll blame him 100% and cast him as being unreasonable to dampen down the anger. This is nothing more than a public, fake, olive branch. One "last ditch attempt" by the club to keep him. Its fucking bollocks.

 

Unfortunately a fair proportion of our lot will fall for it. Again.

 

And again.

 

And again.

Luke Edwards has already said he's being unreasonable in an article that's an insult to anyones intelligence. Expecting more cockroaches to crawl out this week too.

 

It was abysmal. Harmison should hang his head in shame too.

Pete Graves and the whole of Sky also - filming Rafa as he went to clear his desk at the training ground, no doubt after a sneaky call from Charnley on Ashley's behalf. Then having the cheek to say they were just showing him turing up for normal business. Imagine how Rafa felt being betrayed once again there.

 

So many cunts about ffs.

One of the fans who went to the training ground when they heard Rafa was there that day overheard the Sky reporter say that ‘Keith has told us Lee Charnley is on his way to the training ground now’ which could mean that either Charnley tipped off Keith Downie that he was on his way down or it was Keith as in Keith Bishop who tipped Sky off directly.

 

Downie got dogs abuse on twitter that day.

Well aye. He’s clearly an Ashley apologist but he should still hang his head in shame.

Was that him that was on the panel discussing the Staveley attempts to buy? He was preaching the 'better the devil you know' line and going on about how her group was the problem here, got a few jeers for that and gave the impression he just doesn't get it. So ideal for sports journalism then. Especially up here.

So apparently details of the structure of the money available to Benitez have come out. £50m plus any player sales which the club received immediately.

 

Any loan fees, wages, agent fees would also be withdrawn from that £50million fund, drastically lowering the amount available for actual transfer fees.

 

I’m not surprised Rafa has no interest in negotiating with them. Ashley is pure cancer.
