if it meant a take over but the end of rafa, would you go for it?

 

Of course the club comes before any individual. The most crutial thing to happen is to get Ashley out of this club, hopefully Rafa will still be there also but if not and we have new owners willing to invest and take the club forward then so be it.

Can, can we see the non-Pardew face version?

An internet full of porn and you want to see THAT ? :lol:

Did I really need to put a safety wink on there to make it clear that it was a joke?

 

:lol: naaah

 

Rather see her rat than Pardew’s face.

I don't find John Richardson reliable, but that's the first time I have read quotes close to Ashley and it raises a red flag for me regarding the deal. Similar comments were said for the last 2 takeovers and they both eventually collapsed.

 

Nobody knows and the journalists don't have a clue either. Until there is any official announcement then take everything with a pinch of salt. The statement was there saying the fit and proper test was taking place and that does not happen unless proof of funds have been forthcoming and an agreement is in place (as per statement). I don't think you realise how big reputations for business is over in the Gulf, especially for a member of the royal family. Looks to me they are trying to create stuff to force a statement from Ashley.

An Ashley source stated: “Mike is starting to think that it’s another publicity stunt, which will ultimately end in the club remaining unsold. He now wants those representing the Sheikh to either put up or shut up. We’ve had fake Sheikhs before. He’s hoping this isn’t another one.”

 

Who were these other fake sheikhs? :lol:

 

And who's this fucking source?  Steve Wraith?  Him and GE sat having a pint ringing The Mirror.

 

:lol:  The one who worked for The Sun and stitched up Freddy Shepherd.

"Rafa Benitez faces the sack"

 

He's got 28 days left on his contract man! These journos really are inept on every level.

 

They also say they want us to replace him with Mourinho or Wenger but quote a source as saying "there's other options". Totally fabricated nonsense to sell red top rags.

Remember the News of the World linking us with Ronaldinho, Raul, Beckham, etc almost every week after Ashley bought us? :lol:

 

Think it got to the stage on here where the hour leading up to when the rags would update their sites on a Saturday night, we’d guess the Galactico linked that week.

If they come in and have their own man lined up, if it’s Mourinho/Wenger then I won’t mind because at least that’s a statement of intent still.

 

It’s if Ashley stays, can’t agree to keep Rafa due to tightness and we end up with someone else that I’m bothered about.

Why would it be either of them? Wenger is done. Mourinho sounds like he is. His only upside would be seeing to what utter depths of depression this place could plumb given the suicidal wailings around Rafa's owen ahem less than aggressive setups but I still wouldn't want him.

Bahaha. Why would Wenger or Mourinho be a bigger name than re-signing Rafa who is up there with both. What a load of garbage, amazing. Still got us talking and clicking and reacting though.

 

If in doubt or out in the cold grab some straws and create bitter controversy. He obviously knows dick all.

Missing the point but ok.

Just to clarify I was laughing at the article not you! I agree hypothetically with what you said about them clearly having ambition if that was the case.

 

The article is nonsense though. Why would they want to come in and get rid of a manager that is on par with the others mentioned and risk alienating the fans and players. If they were buying the Club Rafa would be a huge attraction. Bringing your own man is fine if you have a bog standard manager to replace.

The journos don't know shit because nobody is saying anything. That one guy at the sun got a leak from the PL which forced a statement from the Sheikh but apart from that it's been silent the whole way (as you'd expect).  If the PL leak hadn't happened we wouldn't even be aware of it and would still be pissing and moaning about Rafa's contract.

 

Ignore the journos, they know nowt.

I agree with this. What important is what the group said, the silent of the club and PL, and that's it. Everyone else is know nothing about it. So ignore them.
