Gallowgate End Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Murmurings from whom though? The local journos? Some numptie on twitter? We’ve heard nothing from anyone currently connected with the club. Not Ashley, not Charnley and not Rafa either. If Rafa simply thought Ashley was being a c***, he would have made it known weeks ago. But no, he’s been silent. He’s waiting for something My views were that Rafa was in a win win situation if he signed up, but I guess I hadn't really factored in Rafa's commitment to his principles. There is literally no precedent of him shying away or doing a U turn on any of them. I agree sign the 1 year contract and just wait Mike Ashley out over the next year till the takeover finally happens then extend further when the takeover happens. If it never happens over the next year he can then just leave at the end of next season. I’m hoping he signs the 1 year contract which will at least give us security till a takeover happens hopefully in the next year. Rafa Benitez is our security till a takeover happens it’s absolutely vital for the football club he stays until a takeover finally happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 How much money can the fat bastard want? How old is he? 55? Surely you would just cash the lot in and sale off into the sunset to wherever you please and live the rest of your days in luxury without having to do a days work again. I don't get the motivation to still be working and getting stress/abuse etc when you are already filthy rich I have the misfortune (though it is good for business) to work indirectly with lots of these rich fuckers many worth a lot more than fat ash. It's no longer about the money at a certain point, it's about the game, doing the deal and thinking you've won, it's gambling, brinkmanship, one upmanship, that's what interests them. Virtually all cunts in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If Rafa leaves he will have his reasons but I really hope this is a case of him not wanting to deal with Ashley and waiting for the new guys to come in. I’d love to know what was said at that meeting because in the weeks leading up to it they had discussions and he seemed way more positive. I know it's Darren Gough of all people, but everytime I hear the words "goalposts" and "moved" my heart sinks. We all know he's definitely got a precedent for that. The idea that Ashley may even entertain the idea of jeapordising this sale or the re signing of Rafa does worry me with reagrds to his intentions with BZG.

LV Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Ashley loves a gamble so wouldn’t surprise me if he risked scuppering a deal by moving the goalposts in order to try to squeeze a few more million out of a potential buyer at the last minute.

Vinny Green Balls Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Much more likely than a PR stunt using an Arab conglomerate shill...Ashley being a colossal cunt in negotiations to squeeze out a little more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 If Rafa is gone, and Ashley stays, would like to see what BZG say about it all. They are unlike Stavely, and Kenyon, they have been vocally confident of the deal being complete and all. They would probably be accusing Ashley of moving the goalposts and what not but let us see what they would say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
