Ashley's Modus Operandi

[ghostrider]

Rafa has 3 options ... the last being what i just said .. sit it out , and with this squad a bad run is inevitable and get sacked for free and compen coming his way.

Sit what out?
This is mostly Rafa's squad, so he either does something with it and waits to add to it as time goes on or he leaves right now.
He does not have any option to sit anything out and come away with any credit if the camp becomes disillusioned because they sense him going through the motions.

I want him to succeed here but we've also got to know the full facts of everything before we can be pointing any real blame on any particular person.
As I said before, he was promised what the club generates. He has jurisdiction over the players coming in and out and Charnley answers to Rafa on these issues.
This is what was said from the horses mouth.
If this is the case then Rafa will have that in black and white (pardon the pun) and anything different to this means he is entitled to walk RIGHT NOW...not next week or next month, citing wrong doings. RIGHT NOW...or he gets on with doing the job he's noted for doing with no in betweens.

Your comment about greedy players etc ... THATS FOOTBALL .. wtf did Ashley buy a team for if he isnt prepared to play the game?

Yes that's football but it doesn't mean clubs have to bow to it.
Ashley is prepared to play the game. We see a team that plays the game, like all other teams that play the game.
If you mean that he's not playing with the big boys, then ok, you're right...but tell me something?....How much money does Ashley need to put in to play the game at the level that's its gone to?
What is required to play the game?
Which clubs are playing the game in the way you believe we should?

Its like me buying a Ferrari then refusing to pay the ridiculous insurance and running costs...

He didn't buy a Ferrari.
He's not refusing to pay costs to keep what he has bought, running.
What he is doing is refusing to use his own credit card to fill it up when the car comes with a company fuel card and runs solely on that.

unless i park it outside my house and plaster it with adverts to get publicity for my cheap sock stall on the quayside of course.

Bitterness is all this is.
Nobody uses sports direct because it's tat and yet everyone uses sports direct.

See what I'm saying?
Yes his adverts look tacky.
Fun 88 on a shirt looks tacky.
Wonga looked tacky.
Many clubs advertising looks tacky whether it brings in super revenue or piddly revenue.
Many clubs have this issue but it's nothing more than small fry in the grand scheme of things, regardless.

Let me put it simply.
If Chinese owners came in and bought us a team full of greed and plastered the stadium with adverts for bright coloured chinese noodles from the Chinese noddles-r-ours factory, all would be great.
It would brighten the stadium up and no one would be that bothered on the whole.

Let them mess it all up and the advertising becomes tacky and lowers the tone of the place, as well as them only using the club for their own ends.

See what I'm saying?
Because this is how it all works out because fans of all clubs are fickle...we all are in all kinds of ways, if we don't get what we believe we are owed or are entitled to.
