This is a reply to Toonlegend's post. I agree with him that the reported position of Amanda Staveley is as he reports i.e. that Rafa is crucial to her plans and part of the attraction that NUFC holds for her. Yet she is also worried that we will be relegated. She must have factored into this the knowledge that Rafa will be manager this season and, if she buys the club in time, will have new players. So on the face of it she does not feel confident that Rafa will keep the club up. And she must realise that if we are relegated Rafa is unlikely to be manager next season. So how central is Rafa to her?
