Rafa talks

I saw that Jeff Bezos has divorced his wife, She gets 36 Billion.
I say somebody spray some Lynx Africa on a splash of Joop and try and charm her. We could do with some of that Amazon cash.

sad thing is , we all know ashley isn't going to budge an inch

His Tailor said the very same thing.

Rafa's contract doesn't expire until 30th June.
However, Rafa cannot just walk away until 30th June if contract negotiations are not his cup of tea.
Nobody holds the cards in terms of us moving on as of now.
It seems to be a stalemate.

The club won't sack him even if his demands are deemed too high. They will just wait it out and he either leaves due to expiry of contract or he accepts what's on the table.

It'll be interesting to see what transpires from this.

If the club (Ashley and Charnley) allow Rafa to stay as boss then replace him on July 1st.... then they are more inept than any of us realised.

The squad return on 4th July for pre season.
They fly to China... play 2 friendlies and return on 21st July (ish)

That leaves less than 3 weeks to sign ALL of your players before the window closes...


The situation with Rafa will be clarified this week...

Rafa should of taken some pies into the meeting. I also hope he secretly records his meeting with Mike. We know that if Rafa does go The Ashley propaganda unit will be all over the news saying Rafa was being unreasonable and demanding 100's of millions. Can't wait for the Transfer window to open and Ashley to turn up and Sky Sports saying we can't compete with Man City,

Should be. . . Has to be. . .

Will it though - i can see them being that ****ing stupid and incompetent that they will let it run then decided to find a new manager.

Can't make any signings without a manager - think of the money saved
