Noelie 103 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Ashley will make promises. Rafa will compromise. It's not a win-win situation. It'll still be unsolved , Rafa may walk and end the current fiasco, which will create a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we have a net spend of £1mil pa over the last 3 seasons, there's no chance we will get £50mil net spend. More likely we will sell Shelvey, Perez and Hayden for £50mil+ and Rafa will get that to reinvest. Clark, Joselu, Elliott, Diame, Kenedy all likely leaving the squad too so we will be looking light on numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too arsed about the second lot. Kenedy was a big let down after last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30619 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 He made £9m selling Strawberry Place. Which is fuck all in the grand scheme of things but greatly restricts our ability to extend the ground. Short termism at its absolute worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 'What would you like Rafa' 'This that this and that' 'No chance. Thanks for making me loads of money. Bye' We've stayed up so Ashley can fuck on for another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammynb 3356 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The cunt has no intentions of trying to retain Rafa. Look at his track record, he's a proven liar. Ashley and everything associated with him should be burnt to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper 940 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 If I was Rafa & his agents I'd feel insulted that Ashley hadn't deemed this important enough to bother turning up. Instead sending that slimy little toad instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
