Rafa confirmed as staying

[toonlegend]

He appears to be saying he a'int going this year -will see out his contract. He is in talks with Charnley re budgets and targets. There was also a suggestion that he will need to free up as well if he wants to push for a big name.

So short term to alleviate the fears but no long term solution as yet!

That's my taking on it.

yes i've just been reading that too. nothing agreed whatsoever - as far as anyone knows

[pboromag]

well done
now maybe we can move on
ash must be some man if he can keep rafa



maybe he aint the villain a lot think he is

h ehas convinced rafa to come to us
he convinced rafa to stay when we went down
and he has now convinced him to stay

surely a hot property like rafa wouldnt fall for ashlies baloney

or even his wages he gives him

rafa and his lot are trying to say ash is in breach of contract for not coming up with the transfer money

a few days ago

probabaly realised he cant wiggle out of his very rewarding contract and will stay and see it out

Aye, this.

Brilliant news for now...we can cross other bridges when we come to them but if he's staying you'd think he's happy enough with what's been promised.

Onnwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaards!!!!!!!!!!!!

he couldnt get out of his contract
or he was gone

why would his people even consider the breech of contract through transfers if he wasnt looking to go

What do you mean he couldn't get out of his contract? Managers are free to resign whenever they choose.

You're a bizarre geezer.

That's how i've interpreted it as well.

At least it means we can start making moves on players. Window shuts a lot earlier this time.
