LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We already know what Rafa thinks. He'd been quite vocal over the last few seasons over what the club should be doing. He wanted to be able to compete (on a realistic basis). He asked for improvements to the training facilities, a higher maximum wage ceiling to be able to entice better players, a reasonable transfer budget and control on how to spend it, etc. He was told no. Mike Ashley wants a 17th place or higher finish in the Premier League for the least capital outlay. Even better, buy young, cheap players and sell them on for a massive profit. It's as easy as that. Why haven't the rest of the Premiership cottoned on to this genius operating model? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mike Ashley relegation model. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 God the thought of this is just so fucking gutting. I’ve been asked about it by friends who support other teams and I just tell them I’d rather not talk about it. There’s so much to say but I just don’t have the energy for it.

mofo Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 If the players had any backbone they would all hand in transfer requests. Every one of them. Yeah.... At least the ones who'd comfortably get a better deal elsewhere: Almiron Ayoze Longstaff Hayden Lascelles Lejeune Schar Dubravka Better get out now when your stock is high, than getting a worse deal when you've just been relegated next season due to poor management. Most of the squad can go on to something better. There’s always a few who won’t. Murphy, Atsu, Joselu, Ritchie etc etc. Thing is though Ashley would love that, its probably his dream scenario...

NG32 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 God the thought of this is just so fucking gutting. It was always a looming threat with Ashley. Like the White Walkers in GoT, hopefully he might get rinsed in the most lame arsed way with no dialogue just like the WW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I'm going through swings of laughing at how comical the situation is to being gutted/angry/disgusted. Not me, I'm at peace with it, they will get no more money off me but I am going to actually enjoy watching Ashley's investment suffer from the comfort of my armchair. Newcastle United will return one day and so will I but until then I've got the popcorn out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
