Ashley offers Rafa

[ex_pat_magpie]

his helicopter to get to the Swansea match if he's well enough.

What a nasty git doing that.
Ashley's obviously using a ringer copter with changed plates so Rafa gets caught for twocking. It's obvious when you think about it.

Didn't Barton say that in his book as well

Ashley offered the use of his helicopter when he had to be back at home by certain times and then the costs were deducted from his wages.

Nothing wrong with him charging for that - employers are not obliged to give things free to (very well paid) employees. It was good of him to offer it, TBH - something which Barton clearly didn´t take on board.
