We will see things unfold, reading between the lines, im not sure Rafa has been lied to.
The fat man has given him assurances on the finances which Rafa deemed acceptable.
NOW the reports are that Rafa is unhappy about what he has been given.
Ashley will have no doubt have decieved him but not lied to him.
Like saying we will get 100+m just for being in the prem, and all proceeds from sales.
BUT the prem cash is payed in installments and he wont be given it all up front in 1 go.

The bloke has had 3 transfer windows and has been shafted in 2 of them.
Either way , we have a world class manager who is unhappy and feels he has been given false promises.
THIS is where we have form, Keegan and Shearer said the same, only the Fat mans lap dogs have kept quiet.
No matter what, he will be leaving sooner rather than later.
If West Ham lose their next few games and sack Billic, Rafa will be off like a shot if they want him.
Ashley has basically given every top flight club accross europe with any ambition the green light to come and get Rafa.
His name will be mentioned everytime a manager is under pressure to keep their job, and the likelyhood is Rafa will be interested in all of them, as we refuse to show any ambition and the owner saying we kant compete with teams we should blow out of the water..

FFS Leeds were offering 18m for Gayle and we didnt even try to get Bony for 12m, Swansea, Bournmouth, Stoke, WBA etc are a more attractive option to players than we are.

Ive said it before, we will end up with Pardew by Christmas, im convinced of it
