I personally think Rafa will turn it around, but should we go down and Ashley can’t collect his TV money he might sod off. But he didn’t last time and we might not be as interesting as a sales object if we are not in the big time.
Thoughts? When do you realistically think he will sell the club? I’ve had enough now.
Depends if he spends in January as the squad needs a major overhaulQuote:

He doesn't care about relegation like fans do or sir John hall did
He should spend in January to protect his invest entire .will he? I doubt it
If we get relegated he will spend to get back up to the safety net of the money league and that's how he operates sadly
He isn't a fan remember
I think if we lose the next couple, maybe 4 then we're down. I know that is a bit melodramatic this early but that will then be 5 of our winnable games (if we don't win them).
I don't think he'll give Rafa money in Jan either, well not enough to get the player(s) we need to make a difference.
Deep down I don't even think we are for sale.All these stories about interested parties worried about us staying up which is why they haven't bought us is just pure bullsh1t.
We were safe in May so where were all these interested parties then.He is playing with the fan base and taking the p1ss.
So regards selling if we go down.I will have to say no.You need to be for sale 1st.
You could be right there Geordie.Quote:

"From my cold dead hands" is the only way he will let the club go.
No.
He will take an axe to it.
If we get beaten in the next 2/3 he will sack Rafa to humiliate him even more and hide behind the ‘we need a new manager to give us the best opportunity to stave off relegation’ line then miraculously £30+ million will appear in January.
That also wouldn't surprise me.Quote:

I don't think he'll sell, he'll loan us enough to get us out again and then "try" and sell in the prem. However as others have said whilst we're of use to SD he won't really try to sell.
