    4 players for every position. Now you really don't know how things work. That's 4 X 11 = 44 players. How big a squad do you think we are allowed. Get real man.

    Why do you need to distort every single report about Rafa.

    The list was NEVER FOUR PLAYERS FOR EVERY POSITION.

    The list was for four KEY PLAYERS and Ashley's puppet couldn't even count that far.

    Ya. I understand the part where we need to offload players to get the wages more manageable but we're talking 4 key players to keep us up and give Cashley another 100million. Charnley and Ashley are so short sighted in the grand scheme of running the club and it's held us back since he took us over. Whats the point of bringing in a manager like Rafa Benitez if you're not going to give him what he wants? They should have stuck with McClaren if they weren't going to get the job done anyways.

    No it want
    If ash hadn't been Ina hurry to get rid of Carr the four he wanted gone would have been sold
    He threw away carrs list and had his own

    There are 4 goalies on that list why do we need a new goalie
    If we had bundles maybe
    But he was aware we didn't

    That lot that card would have sold and had clubs for all of them would have released 3000k a week

    Truth is Rafa wanted control he got it

    Charnley is experienced at getting players in
    But I can tell you he is chasing his tail trying to get rafas players in

    7 of the players he had on his list we didn't even know who there agent was and couldn't get hold of them

    We weren't prepared as we were with carrs list i.e. Buy out clauses etc

    So by getting rid of a manwhonhad been in charge of player recruitment with no proper back up has caused most of the issues

    Let me clarify
    He didn't want 4 players for every position he gave a list of 4 players per position he wanted
    So charnley could go for one of those 4
