ewerk 26168 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The only logical reason I can see for this transfer window is that he’s keeping the club financially efficient for a sale. It’s not just about not spending money on transfers but in keeping the wage bill down to a healthy percentage of turnover. His hope may be that he will be gone by the time that Rafa’s contract expires. Though logic has never been Ashley’s strong point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he did it out of pure spite to fuck Rafa over because Rafa wouldn't sign a renewal contract . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you can do with it though I guess. You may be able to convert an old store in London into luxury flats or something but what about ones in places like the Metro Centre? In the case of the latter, do they even own their own stores? Nee idea. Wouldn't be the first time he's gotten lucky (or massively fucked up, for that matter).
