Why now? Under what premise will he agree on a new contract when we're staring down the end of january without one buy? It almost feels like a an attempt at ****-smearing on Ashley's part.
Don't see the problem myself, unless you think he's a **** manager and should be sacked, and the club is then lumbered with a compo package.
Don't think he'd accept at all and I'd stick money on a Mike Ashley source having some bullshit to feed to Sky Sports soon after his rejection. It really is taking the piss isn't it though, "oh we've ****ed you around all season, made you look a tosser, now let's discuss that new contract"
Is this a wind up? ... Why the **** would be sign a extension with this lot ffs.... Unless he knows something, yes yes he must fat boys selling, yes praise be.
Get the rumour reason machine fired up! It's obvious why they're extending, Mandy has coughed up the dough. Yippee
Now is this worth me looking at? Any direct quotes from Rafa? Or is this just Luke Edwards peddling conjecture?
