£300 million Bid lodged (sky sports claim)

I think he will leave...eventually...but it will be his equivalent of screaming and shouting. And those adverts of his will stay for a couple of seasons as part of the deal

 

Aye, Mark Hughes is available from the merry-go-round of sacked managers.

 

The fans would turn on fatty, the flags would be put away and the loss of Rafa would impact in the stands... as well as on the pitch.
Average players up their game for the right manager.
If Pearson came in then.. well...

 

I honestly think we are stuck with him now.
If he waits until Feb to 'try to sell', we are down... and PCP will just move onto another club.
If we go down, Rafa walks.
If Rafa Walks the atmosphere will be poisonous.
The players will play ****ter (for whoever is manager).
We slip even further into the mire.
The fat man has an opportunity to make a profit and wash his hands of this Northern **** Stain once and for all.
By he is a stubborn fekker and thinks he knows best.... (just look at his managerial appointments).

 

I agree, the possible ramifications are scary. But lets hope Fatty sees sense and goes. If not, lets get prepared for another promotion next season in the easy league

 

I’d be astonished if he’s still here. He’s never sought to make money out of NUFC, just advertising. SD are not doing well so I guess he reckons the association has run its course. Genuinely think this is It, but I personally also think that this is just Desmond drumming up interest in via his rags, as all of this was actually concluded a month ago. It’s about building things up. It’ll go from this exclusive to “Ashley Accepts” offer then a string of exclusive interviews.

 

As ever, Fatty has all of us playing the guessing game...

 

already half way through January and nothing
4 days until Rafa's self declared date to have all his signings done

 

Will rafa walk?
Im reading on certain sites fans wanting rafa out now.... It's growing in momentum.

 

I think that if Rafa's player concerns aren't addressed in this window, he'll resign. We can't win a home game due to missing our chances - it's not good enough.

It's probably fair to say that Rafa's style isn't pleasing, but he's hamstrung to be honest. Whether we'll continue to let the oppo keep the ball will change if we had a couple of better players, it remains to be seen. Swashbuckling Rafa ain't, but we're lucky to have him - we couldn't attract better.

 

No need to get personal about Obi. I reckon he’ll post again before the end of the month.

 

I'll be honest I'm getting completely confused dipping in and out of this site. People are always calling some fat man, how he is not doing his job properly and so on. I can't tell if we're talking about Ashley or Rafa?

 

The only fat man getting abuse this afternoon for not doing his job properly seems to be me, The phone hasn't stopped. Naturally I took the customer complaints very seriously and decided to take a break from work and come on here

 

Allegedly the Fat One has given Rafa the green light for 3 signings. I've no idea how or why this particular news got out, but that's the latest.

 

3 surprises you say? I wonder if Windy has heard anything.

 

"news"

 

I feel faint.

 

Souare on loan from Palace
Kenedy/Musonga on loan from Chelsea
Some third rate goal keeper from Lithuania or wherever who's comparable to Mat Sels

 

Thanks - the feel good factor lasted less than an hour.

I've (not) heard a rumour that Fabregas is coming.

 

Deal off sky news I'm hearing?
