Pboro. This is the same M O that has followed Ashley's on many a transfer window. He said that players needed to be shown the door and the wage bill reduced. That's what has happened and hey ho he has gone back on his word. He has continually tied Rafas hands by putting out that he was looking at selling up/then part of the club for investment to waste a month or so - then nothing (what a surprise), didnt instruct his monkey Charnley to do everything to get Hanley et al out first if the wages etc was his gripe. Rafa clearly said from the start who he wanted Mangala, Reina, Perez, Fernandino but they didn't get any of them so we've ended up getting 3/4th level targets. We now have no natural left back cover for Dummett who is injured! Dress it up how you want but Ashley and Charnley have seriously had us over again with a pitiful £11 million net spend. Do you not think that is pathetic, embarrassing and typical of the fkn weasels?
