A Parting shot..

The football Rafa was forced to play was because of lack of backing from Ashley AS YOU WELL KNOW. As soon as we got Kenedy and Martin Dubravka we saw a change.

Was that a coincidence or did you and Pboro not notice.

Not a chance in hell was Rafa forced to play that kind of football. He had players that could be used to play decent football...more than enough for what we were up against in the prem.
The problem was, he chose to leave a decent striker in the doldrums and not bother to use wingers he bought for the job......etc.

Kenedy and Dubravka got him out of the mire. He gambled and won but could easily have lost that gamble had Kenedy not hit the ground running and Dubravka not done likewise.

It's all irrelevant now because it's over with but the issue was his set ups earlier on before thos players...not with them.
the football improved greatly when Kenedy arrived.

Every supporter doesn't hate him.
The near full stadiums for his entire tenure is testament to that.

So he equates a full stadium to the fans not hating Ashley ?? (shakes head)

The mere fact that the stadium is always near full no matter what is cited about Ashley, is testament to the fact that the hatred is in the minority...because if he was as hated as is made out for all the reasons given, then the stadium would see a fair dip in numbers.

The amount of people that's gave up their seasons tickets and those that won't go until he's gone and yet the stadium is near to full to the brim.

You see, there's people that simply follow a pattern or go with the flow in terms of talking about hating and not doing this and that and then those same people go and do the opposite.

Just peer pressure of following a pied piper type.

Now maybe you can better understand why you're far too weak to ever be a moderator.

Funny that. I was thinking it was all the reasons I should.

Well hopefully you've learned something.
