Hard to say, I know. But what do you think will happen in the summer? Presuming we'll stay up - if not I think Ashley will hang around because he'll want to have a certain valuation met and I doubt he'll get the right offer.
I just hope that the end is near in terms of him owning this club.

I see we're linked with some players, including some Besiktas player (Tolgay Arslan) whom the Chron rates. But to me it seems that these otherwise fun if not interesting rumours are pointless with Ashley owning the club as we know he doesn't like spending. The transfer windows have always been unpredictable under him, but it's gotten worse lately. January 2018 was a disaster - it's great that we were able to sign Kenedy and Dubravka (and even Slimani) all on loan to help us out, but they were all fluke signings in many ways. It's clear that Ashley was never going to support Rafa.

It's a bit tiring, and potentially dangerous for those of us who can see that Rafa is right for this club, that Ashley is still here.
