Rayvin 5176 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Would they do that if they hadn't received assurances from Rafa's people? Have a bad feeling about this. West Ham are a non entity of a club but i guess we dont know what Ashley has said to Rafa behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Many a tear-drop will fall, 'but it's all in the game'. If Rafa goes, he goes, it's all in the game, but I will not be a happy camper if he does, for whatever reason. If he stays, he stays, it's all in the game, and aa will be ower the moon like if he does, for whatever reason. I think that if he does leave it will be for all the right reasons, he's already proven he doesn't desert a sinking ship when he stayed with us after relegation. I don't think he's driven by financial gain, but more by challenges and promises of support, something lacking at the Toon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, hard to say it was his team when he didn't get the funds or support to bring in the players he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21812 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Rafa won’t ditch us for West Ham will he? I don’t think anyone would begrudge him for taking the arsenal job or something of that stature, but West Ham ffs? Ashley cares even less than I thought if he lets that happen.

wykikitoon 19881 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 If he does like most on here I will lose some respect for him. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. They're a fuck all club. I fully understand Rafa's frustrations but to them with owners on similar reputations as that fat cunt? Seriously? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'll be really disappointed if Rafa walks out on us for West Ham. Will take a lot of the gloss off his time here. What do we expect though? The heart of this club remains rotten as it has been for ten years now. It will always stifle itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30253 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I’d be disappointed if he went for West Ham but couldn’t blame him as it would obviously mean he got the assurances from West Ham that he couldn’t get here. And given the respective size of the clubs and the wealth of their owners would be an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2204 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Honestly it’s so fucking frustrating. By any measure Benitez is a very good if not great manager. They’re as rare as rocking horse shit. He could transform this club at every level. We shouldn’t even have to worry about him leaving, he should be locked in for the next 5 years Edited May 17, 2018 by Kitman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5176 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 On the positive... you would think that if Arsenal had any serious interest they would have made it clear now that West Ham have shown their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Where would we finish if Rafa was given £100m.Two,maybe three places higher.£3m or so extra sky money.Those sums won't add up in Ashley's mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1221 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 West Ham announcing that they're going to make the appointment by Wednesday doesn't really fit with it being Rafa. I can't see how they could be so confident of sorting stuff out with him (if he was being truthful when he said he was only talking to us) let alone fatty by then.

I get your point mate, all i was trying to say was if the fat controller doesn't invest serious money on players it's just a matter of time before we get relegated again. You'd think such a so called successful business man like him would learn from his mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would,yes,but Ashley is a chancer,a gambler,and as long as we bounce back at the first attempt,it's probably a risk ( not investing heavily ) worth taking again.
