Andymc1 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Where'd Jack go? Miss him. Just checked out his last posts and it's the IP at a festival GIF, naturally. Aye, I just looked at that. Possibly went back to lurking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 So if he isn't realistically going to sell, then what are those who still attend going to do when (as would inevitably happen) Rafa leaves? No sale this time must surely mean more concerted action? Rafa must be the main reason for those still prepared to attend doing so? Once he foists another Pardewesque appointment, with zero spend on the squad then will the penny finally drop? The sale this time cannot be overemphasised imo for the whole future of the club.

astraguy Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 He'll only shot himself in the foot if he doesn't sell ,Rafa will go along with our good players leading us back to square one and a toxic environment again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 So begins the 'is it a negotiating position or is he really not going to sell us' fun time of the summer.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 If Rafa leaves due to Ashley still being here then I’ll pack in my ST. I’ll attend the odd away game that makes general sale, but I wont be willing to go through the endless cycle of shit under Ashley any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Premier league status is pretty much guaranteed, tv rights have been sorted, if the club is going to be sold everything surely is in place. The worry is obviously more of the same nonsense from Ashley and/or Staveley not being genuine enough. It's a crucial summer though, no which way about it. The potential is massive, the club is poised to really push on, we're just so used to the same complete nonsense over summers. Rafa pushing the club on with a proper transfer budget versus Ashley orchestrating a complete collapse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect maximum amount of belligerent destroying of any chance we have of any positivity this summer To be fair to the horrible b******, if he genuinely wants to sell he isn't going to get a better opportunity than this. His gamble with spending has paid off, the manager is working wonders and the fans are all pulling in the same direction. It's only going downhill from here. If he does want to sell, this summer is the moment. One could argue he's played it perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 When did you stop lurking? Around 26,000 posts ago. Riposte. Not really. The joke's on me if my near ten years of regular posting is less memorable than the decade old thread that started it. that was 10 years ago? That can't have been 10 years ago. Maybe 4 years ago.

If he does want to sell, this summer is the moment. One could argue he's played it perfectly. Absolutely, surely he sees that too, if he sticks around the fans and manager will expect (and rightly so) that he invests, something he seems very reluctant to do, so why stick around ? The worry as always is his greed and ego, will he accept an offer that is reasonable but doesn't meet his expectations however reasonable or unreasonable they are ?
