Rayvin 4948 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Sigh. I did think Stavely's bid was derisory and pointless, but i was more hopeful about Kenyon, possibly because i didn't have any sense of the numbers. Â Well, we will never be free then. We're too big a club to do a Sunderland even when Rafa does walk out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) He's removed his excuse for not spending. It's a good thing I suppose if it means some transfer funds. It won't make a difference as to whether or not he'll sell - if he gets the bid he wants he still will. I don't know if he's ever wanted to sell but either way his mind hasn't suddenly changed Edited March 3, 2019 by TheGingerQuiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're too big a club to do a Sunderland even when Rafa does walk out the door. There were three offers IIRC, one cash offer that was way below his asking price and others with clauses which would have seen him getting close to the money he wants in the end. He also complained about the negotiations getting nowhere but not answering to the offers. He then went public to criticise Staveley seeking publicity. Â I still think he is just shifting goal posts to look like selling and appeasing the majority of fans just to make sure he can always blame others for deals falling through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 133 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 If you were Ashley would you sell? Not a fucking chance. Â It's almost a licence to print money for the cunt. Free adverts and a profit in just about every transfer window. Â We NEED to get relegated and not promoted until he's gone. 2 years, 5, 10 - it doesn't matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12447 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Agreed, sadly the only way I think we will get shot of him is relegation and a few years in the Championship. Quite honestly when Rafa leaves we will go down imo, the only thing is he’ll then allow the club to buy players to get back to the PL and then talk about how much we lost because of that. What a cunt man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the next few years? How can we as a club take advantage of this solid foundation and become a regular top four challenger?

He went, spent half the time pissed and obnoxious, then kept moving the goalposts so they went and bought Man City instead. Could have spent the last 10 year watching David Silva instead of Jack Colback and Diame, we should absolutely be thanking Ashley though as he let the club spend a bit of what it brought in last time we got relegated due to his fucking about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12447 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019  I’m sure he’d find something. “Not sure about this Aguero fella sure he scored 5 goals but could have had 6, if he had we’d have +89 gd instead it’s now +88. I still don’t know why Pep subs on Mahrez.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally that would have been game over & yet they came out fighting & determined & went on & won. Under Pardew, McClaren or Carver you'd have been tempted to leave SJP at half time. Not with Rafa in charge. As I've said if he has to leave due to the financial constraints under Ashley it'll be a travesty.. Because you can bet whoever Ashley's got lined up (Pardew anyone ?) won't have anywhere near the class Rafa has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
