"he hasnt said ash broke any promises or indeed made any promises
he has just said things haven worked out as the thought "
i would suggest that rafa has indicated quite clearly that ashley has broken promises/renaged on what he said when he uttered the words
"ASHLEY KNOWS WHAT HE PROMISED ME..... " just the other day
Just read your post below from 9/8/17 thread Net spend £21 million.

Why do you need to distort every single report about Rafa.
The list was NEVER FOUR PLAYERS FOR EVERY POSITION.
The list was for four KEY PLAYERS and Ashley's puppet couldn't even count that far.
No it want
If ash hadn't been Ina hurry to get rid of Carr the four he wanted gone would have been sold
He threw away carrs list and had his own
There are 4 goalies on that list why do we need a new goalie
If we had bundles maybe
But he was aware we didn't
That lot that card would have sold and had clubs for all of them would have released 3000k a week
Truth is Rafa wanted control he got it
Charnley is experienced at getting players in
But I can tell you he is chasing his tail trying to get rafas players in
7 of the players he had on his list we didn't even know who there agent was and couldn't get hold of them
We weren't prepared as we were with carrs list i.e. Buy out clauses etc
So by getting rid of a manwhonhad been in charge of player recruitment with no proper back up has caused most of the issues
he hasnt said anything about promises
just things havent worked out how he thought
that could mean a million and one things
he needs to stop bleeting
lets face it his tactics ,formations etc aint filling many of us with much hope
maybe he needs to show ash he can manage at this level in this day and age
he certainly brought us down playing negative footy
we played negative footy in the fizzy with some great players for that standard
and we certainly have played the most boring footy for the first two games with his players
i certainly cant see anthing that would make me open my wallet for him
the thing that SHOULD make him open his wallet is the threat of yet another relegation .. and then another and another etc etc etc
but he's as thick as pig **** and won't.
i agree but he hasnt said ash has promised him any money etc
he has said things havent worked out how he thought
ie he may have thought certain players would be gone
and if they had certain players might hve come in
but the players havent gone .not because ash had anything to do with it ,but that players rule the roost
I actually think we could have done well if it wasn't for some selfish mercenaries....the fact that Ashley is a complete and utter ****e isn't going to change the reality...
Some of these idiot mercenaries should have left the moment Rafa told them they're not part of his plans...
Lazaar
Hanley
Krul (although I quite liked him)
Colback
Saivet
Haidara
Riviere
All these would free up £300k per week and allow for some good loan signing...you could offer 3 quality player £100k a week on loan basis just for the year...
I think Rafa has realised that Ashley won't do anything even if we are relegated. He has reached a point where he won't pump and more money in and the biggest fear is that if we get relegated again....he won't bank roll the club...and the shoe string championship budget will be a nightmare....we're in big trouble if we don't survive this season...the only positive is next years fresh tv rights income
