Ashley likes to try and destroy the reputation of club legends. He tried it with Shearer, Keegan and now he is attempting to destroy Rafa's. It backfired when we finished 10th and now he has done his usual trick and loaded the dice in his favour by selling players and not allowing him the proceeds or a decent transfer kitty for that matter in the summer to ensure failure....again. it demoralises everyone surrounding the club and I fear he has done the job properly this time. He's handicapped the squad good and proper to the extent there is little or nothing left. Even industrial amounts of Mr Sheen may not be enough this season. If we stay up It'll happen again next summer. Forget the standard of football which we all agree is defensive and poor - we know this but theres nothing else our Spanish general can do.
