Ketsbaia Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Probably a good idea for this thread to move on. It's providing strong competition to the takeover thread's hideousness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteV Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What’s the status of football in China? Mind, don’t fancy paying £20m for something which was ours a year ago. Probably a daft way of looking at it but I’m a Scrooge. It’s going to be hard to rid of that mindset. Season was supposed to start in February, obviously hasn't, and as yet there's no confirmed start date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Has anyone clarified whether or not he can just hand his notice in? Marca say “No”. https://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2019/12/04/5de7830e22601d6e4b8b45f0.html Someone, maybe you?, keeps posting that Chinese law stipulates that he can just walk away. I’m dubious. Keep hoping that somebody back the idea up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m dubious. Keep hoping that somebody back the idea up. That article is from last year he now only has 17 months left on his contract he’s not on a long 4 or 5 year contract. I reckon he’d be cheaper than is being made out. Apparently he tried to get a mutual termination in January when the China FA changed all the rules meaning they can’t buy any expensive star players anymore and all their signings have to be low wage capped signings. But apparently the owner convinced him to continue instead of leaving but since then Covid has hit and they haven’t been able to start their season. Will Dalian be wanting to continue to pay a manager £1million a month for doing nothing since November or will they think to cash in. I don’t think it would be that hard to get him you’ve potentially got a deal that suits all parties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he’d be cheaper than is being made out. Its not just him though is it? Its the staff who went with him to Chyna too who Rafa would want to bring back. Could be expensive.

Consortium of one Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Rafa would be a dream come true. I don't think there will be a massive xfer kitty but enough to fill the holes with quality players and shift some deadwood. There will be a massive investment in infrastructure. I'd love to see Rafa see his dream to completion. And it seems like with the situation in China, the stars may be aligning for a return. Poch has been campaigning for the job and he's my 2nd choice. Both would be fastidious in their preparation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's me but I don't 'keep posting it', I posted that under Chinese labour law you can quit your job with 30 days notice no matter what it says in your contract. I also said I have no idea if this applies to Rafa or if there were things like registrations for managers (as with players) that he'd have to be released from before he could take another job. I have no idea if he can or can't do this as I said when I posted it, I just said that that's the law here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Pundit Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Looks like there's a few journos rehashing some older stories on Rafa being the favourite over Poch in the last couple of days, I guess it's THAT quiet with the takeover. Rafa would still be my first choice, by the time this takeover gets done he might even be out of contract with his current team!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top end players will come for Steve Bruce if you splashed enough cash. Mark Hughes got Carlos Tevez to ditch Manchester United to come play for him.

Danh1 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The sooner I see Rafael Benitez Maudes carefully placing his spectacles into his jacket pocket the better. Would love Poch, but RBM has unfinished business here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
