    Actually, if you took the time to read what has been said - no he has not signed a new contract! Think and engage brain before using keyboard. When he signs a new contract we will pm you! Sigh

    Im inclined to believe the article that Rafa and Ashley have agreed funds for the summer etc. simply because Rafa has been the number 1 target of West Ham for years allegedly and even though he is under contract, they would have contacted his associates to put the feelers out on whether he would be willing to join them or not. If Ashley was being a dlck again, West Ham would have pursued him officailly

    i dont think west ham could take the gamble on rafa

    their squad is worse than ours

    their fans crave attractive footy

    they dont seem to want to give control to a manager ,instead they seem to have the say n transfers(the owners)

    and he couldnt twist his way out of his very lucrative deal

    As far as I understand it, there was a buy-out clause. As seen in the past, if a club wants a manager they would have gone down that route, even to the extent of staging the buy-out over 2/3 years. So not sure the relevance of the Rafa could not get out of his lucrative deal and why would he leave early without an assurance of another job? It's a no brainer - £6 mill buy-out is peanuts by today's standards. I am perplexed by your line of thought can you expand please.

    he was trying to do ash for constructive dismissal ,by saying ash hadnt given him what he promised

    why stay

    why work with someone you cant trust

    Frak me you were being ironic. No wonder it bypassed me, did not think that a blunderland fan knew the concept!

    Anyway, off you go to bed we will pm you in time for next season.

    6 million is 3 positions in the league table. Ironically we made that by having a better goal difference than those around us. By not going gung ho and getting thrashed by the top 6 teams, Rafa has paid for his wages for the year.

    6m to get Rafa out of his contract with everything he has done in the game.Then you see Stoke willing to pay Derby 1.8m compensation for Gary Rowett.
    Put the 6m against what he has made the fat slug and it's peanuts in comparison.

    Is this person serious?

    my head hurts trying to comprehend the 'twisting his way...' comment.
