Various: Mike Ashley in talks with Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan


Recommended Posts

I can see this going two ways: Rafa stays and gets minimum to spend, or he's off and we'll see Alex McLeish coming in with £120m being splashed to compensate for his inadequacies.

 

I can’t go along with the notion that Ashley would deny Rafa funds only to grant a largesse to his successor.

 

It might well cost him £120m over time, but there’s no way the next man in the dugout gets that cash - summer or January.

mclaren money was a perfect storm of shitness imo, in that mclaren was carr's man and ashley obviously trusted carr to some degree

 

he'll not make that mistake again, despite the fact he's making a huge fucking mistake not backing rafa given the miracles he's already worked in terms of improving players and their values

"When we started, our challenge was to create infrastructure, to create structure and then to create the right processes. That is how we concentrated our efforts first.

 

"This was to achieve three goals - continuous growth, sports success and profitability - you need to continue this profitability in order to keep doing the origin of football, which is to create value for the community.

 

"The way we look at is not probably the most profitable way for the business we run but, when you put in the value you create to the community, then it becomes a real profitable business in every sense of the word."

 

Sign me the fuck up.

Sign me the f*** up.

 

This is the exact kind of club I want instead of just throwing money around at big name players.

And I think Rafa would be a perfect match to it all.?
