Guest Hog Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 For those that haven't seen it, this is the exact wording of what's been talked about today: You mentioned the transfer window before, how much easier would it make your job if you knew now how what you were going to have in January? It's always helpful if you have information, so hopefully after the Everton game - and a win - we will have good news and everybody will be happy. Are you hoping to hear a bit more this week about the money situation? Yes, I hope so. I think it's important to know because we are working really hard with the scouts watching games and players everywhere and we have a lot of names but we cannot progress without knowing exactly how much we have. Yeah, that's not really saying anything more than anybody could at this current moment in time. I really can't read that far in to it as to think it means anything other than it'd be nice if things progressed a bit more soon - there's nothing there suggesting anything's about to happen any more than anything else that's been said recently. ... as nice as it'd be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Quite liking the now universal acceptance that Ashley is bad and everything post Ashley might not be. Quite a change in the narrative if you think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 He has aye, saw him spiced out at Haymarket this morning mumbling something about a takeover. Weirdo. Saw him at the Monument an hour earlier. Thought he said takeaway, that's why I pointed him in the direction of the Haymarket. Massively downhill from that point onwards, unfortunately. He went asking for spicy food and ended up with a bag of spice, those language barriers, man. Killer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 He certainly pleased about something. Perhaps he's heard through Charnley that there's good news on the way, if they are due to meet this week. Hard not to get our hopes up when you see his smiling face. Love the man.

Sir Toon Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Just watched Rafa's press conference and I agree that it was just one of his usual throwaway answers. Maybe lost in translation as in we'll all be happier with a win, not in relation to anything happening. The sooner the end of January gets here and people can put this window to bed along with the takeover because some eventual heat may go in the right direction for once and that being Ashley.

afar Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 So there was no press conference at 3pm then and we can therefore officially class HTT as a WUM ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 You wouldn't look at him and think we'd picked up one point from seven games. He's coming across extremely optimistic, even if we are reading a bit too much into that specific quote. Rafa's someone who's never afraid to hide his emotions; and if he's optimistic, I think the rest of us have good reason to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kager Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I've decided that this is happening. This is based on nothing more than a gut feeling, but for what it's worth, it's the same guy feeling I had when Rafa first signed and when he agreed to stay on.

Guest ElCid Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think people are just looking for things that aren't there really. Hope I'm wrong like... i think the opposite i think people are looking to shrug it off just because of Ashley. Ashley is in a corner man unless he sells he will lose millions (either in this window to keep up or when the relegation happens as it surely will without major investment) and even he isn't that stupid. The meeting last week and Rafa saying hope for positive news when he has been very bolshi (rightly so) in the past makes it seem pretty obvious the deal is done and that's from a renowned pessimist. It's happening wait for the cigar to be lighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippity Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Not sure what to make of this so came over to see if any of the good folk on here had heard of anything. Lad on our site (Footymad) who isn't a bullsh*tter has just posted that Ashley's sold the club; expect an announcement soon. Is the fat lady clearing her throat??
