Dr Gloom 21756 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's from last night. He's basically filed a piece along the lines of the rest - Rafa could walk in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5150 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ashley Out have just tweeted for the first time in a while, calling on Ashley to give Rafa the assurances he needs. Protest on Saturday? If we demonstrate supporter anger quickly enough, it might force Ashley into a corner again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21756 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting quotes. Good to hear he has no intention of walking away and he's clearly calling for a positive reaction from supporters against Derby rather than more anti Ashley stuff from the stands. The first quote is striking though. No manager has stood up to Ashley like that since Keegan - and we all know how that worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1216 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I do wonder if Rafa has something concrete in his contract that he can fall back on that he knows will allow him to push Ashley much further than others could. I mean, I think we all believe he will stand up for himself much more than his predecessors but I wonder if he can force through more as well. It certainly appears that while there is still more than a little cause for concern, nothing is completely broken yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And KK won his case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I would think he will have more after he saw what happened to KK. How much cast iron power he has over what funds are available will be the question. I don't doubt he will have final say over transfers, but if he's told there's no money available, has he got something in his contract that can force Ashley's hand.

ewerk 30159 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 It'd be very difficult to get a provision into the contract guaranteeing transfer funds. I'd say that's done once or twice a year on a gentlemen's agreement. Of course you have to be dealing with gentlemen for it to be worth anything.

David Kelly 1216 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Of course you can't guarantee funds are there to be made available, but it could be possible that there is a provision that if they are, they are provided as and when requested. Clearly it would be difficult for Rafa to prove what should be available but it might give him a bit more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 I wish the Chronicle would fuck right off, they should be getting right behind the team at this stage of the season, not running headlines questioning the manager's future just to sell a few papers. Fucking shithouse of a rag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Carr must be on some kind of bonus in relation to how much profit we make on players like. That can only explain why he's meddling with Ashley, either that or his ego inflated due to all of the power he had and knew he still had Mike's ear so could have a word about himself being marginalised. Or he's also missing the brown envelopes he was getting from Mondial Sport Management for recruiting all of their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first quote is striking though. No manager has stood up to Ashley like that since Keegan - and we all know how that worked out. No intention of walking away now, he's an honour guy so wants to get us promoted. I still think he'll definitely be off in the summer though and I don't blame him. Shame you'll still have the Wongaloids burying their head in the sands and coming out with the old support the team and not the regime patter whilst still filling out the ground.
