NG32 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Takeover, no Ashley >>> Rafa with Ashley. It's wank but thats the reality for me. Anything to get rid of the fat boy. Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Tbh Rafa may have talked himself out of a job the way he's defied Ashley. It may reflect badly on him trying to do the right thing by us and the club. It would be an absolute shame if the new owners thought like that but it's like work, you've got to respect those above you and do as thry say or you'll be seen as trouble, even if you are correct.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Caulkin says the Bin Zayed Group haven't reached exclusivity yet. How come takeovers of other clubs never seem to take this long They do, you just aren't invested in them. I remember a Milan one a few years ago taking like a year.

NG32 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Wish Rafa was more like Pards, me. Easy to hate? No back bone or character to actually push the owner to better the first team and club.

BlueStar Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Wouldnt be suprised if rafa has made private contact with the group just for his own interests Could Rafa just refuse to sign up under Ashley and leave with the caveat he was willing to return under new owners? Or would he want to go straight to another job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consortium of one Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe Ashley is still going to retain a share of the club? It might not be an outright sale. MA remains a minority owner, gets to use SJP as an advertising vehicle and gets an in to the Middle East. Is that possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the prestige of owning a club for their partners, it’s a way to advertise their international services on one of the biggest platforms in the world. Which is also the reason when they buy the club l, they will invest so it can compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
