What's happening?

[HughieG]

Is it possible to get some valid information about how the club is run in terms of transfers at the moment; is it Rafa to Ashley via Charnley? Does Charnley have a say about which players to sign? Has Rafa been given a budget we know of?

It's frightening that not more is being communicated from the club about transfers, and I saw an article where Lascelles said he was looking forward to seeing more new faces. I interpreted the article as him saying that the club better invest as his patience is running out.

Stay cool.

Aye.

I think that Justin bloke is involved somewhere as well.

Rafa - Charnley - Justin bloke - Ashley.

Rafa is to blame

One man can't run a prem team

You have to respect those around you

Getting rid of Carr was and is a massive mistake for a club like us

Getting rid of so many under 23 s is also a massive mistake

Rafa is a coach

End off

Wanting control of all things footy is taking us backwards

We need structure

And we kind of had that with Carr here
He went out found players did dossiers etc
And the club chased those that suited their budget

Under Rafa

We are relying on his connections

And he ain't as well connected on that front as he would like to think

what he does next year and what he is getting payed to do this year are wo diffeentthings

rafa hasnt proven himself in the transfer market with us

and he seems to think the oly way to do buisness is to hld a gun against someones head

let him go

ash backed him when he went down
after he failed to keep us up

he left all things torafa hence why rafa got rid of carr

he has told him he can have every penny the club generates
if rafa aint clever enough after a couple of seasons to work out what that is then maybe he shouldnt be here

rafa has done nothing in my eyes that any decent manager wouldnt have done
without the bellyaching he gives us

wpould many have saved us from going down
maybe fat sam or the like

would any manager on 4 mill ayear brought us up with the squad we had
for sure and robabaly more convincing as well

would anymanger with the players we had have kepyt us up last season
for sure they would
and played better footy

rafa is all about him

he must have been gutted when west ham went for a decent manager

how can or why would ash commit to any longtime spending when the club is up for sale and when rafa was trying to wriggle out of his contract in the summer .

he has a forked tongue

stay or go

any one could do what he has on 4 mill plus a year

and we might be talking about the lads on the pitch instead of rafa all the time

keep it up sunshine your repetitive rants on rafa are really funny( and on the verge of being a WUM) oh and your dig at geordies has been seen - if you dn,t like geordies or rafa ( who is supported by 99% of posters on here) post on board that thinks like you - if you can find one
