So if rafa loves the toon so much

[ashingtoon62]

FCB has a tradition of attending the last match of the season,so lets see if they have a chat or not.
I think what people need to remember is that Raffa has a full year left on his contract,so the only way I can see him leaving is that if somone triggers his get oot clause..
I'm not naive enough, to not think there will be suitors either.

I can't see him staying under the fat man.Surely once he secured safety his future would have been sorted.Thats what a properly run club would have made sure of.

TRUE but Ashley is as thick as fu cking mince man,all this crap aboot him being an astute business man is just that..Crap!!
He's a fuc king chancer,if China or India weren't producing trainers/socks/shirts for 50p,the FCB would still have a couple of stalls in Landaan..He boils my pi55..Rant subsiding..

No keep it up Ash, you're doing fine.

[pboromag]

So you're admitting Ashley won't back him with the money the club has generated as promised but still try and make Rafa out to be the problem

i havent said that
i have said he needs clarifying what he has and hasnt got

last year he obviously thought he was gettingmore than he did and the bickering went on to long and upset the balance
i would suggest as with most teams and managers he will be told what he can have as in new expenditure and then be told any profits from sales can be his as well

obviously agents fees payoffs etc will need to come from any transfer fees obtained

but it needs to be clear

Aye-once bitten, twice shy, I reckon. Unless he's absolutely clear on what he's got-and that it's enough, in his opinion-then he'll be off.

i too think he will want cast iron promises

or to know ifa buyer is lurking

im hearing woody will stay with us next season unless sold and he wants assurances

[Stanleymag]

90% or so season ticket holders support Rafa and what he has done. A few don't like his football, but accept what he has achieved with no backing from Ashley.

No one wants Ashley at the Club.

If Rafa leaves, it will be because MA has failed to back MA. Everyone will know that is the reason he will leave.

Season ticket renewals are due in June. Rafa knows It, as does Ashley


Ashley blinks first, puts up 80m. Rafa buys well and we challenge for top 10. Rafa leaves, after not being backed, "modern" manager- no money, we lose momentum- relegation

That's how I see it.

[waalsendmick]

season ticket renewals are sorted in February if youre on the price freeze deal, which is why I cancelled my renewal then. I believe I still can renew sometime between now and June, but it will be at an increased monthly rate as I've obviously not made the 1st 3 payments.

I have zero trust or faith in Ashley, so my cancellation stands!
