    Every transfer window it’s the same old bollocks. In advance of ST renewals we are linked with lots of exciting players, we put ‘club record bids’ in.... we are a million or so short.... we don’t budge..... we end up buying Rafa’s third or fourth choice players.

    It doesn’t change one bit.

    You’d think that Charnley would be bored now of trying to keep up with the charade of being serious about team strengthening.

    Bit by bit, window by window more and more fans get wise to the tactics. I’m surprised it has taken some so long to smell the coffee...despite the fact that it has been established in a court of law that our club actively deceives its fans and the press.

    I’m also surprised that Fat Mike and that bloated weasel Charnley keep p the charade. They remind me of Comical Ali from Gulf War 1 who kept insisting that there were no tanks in Baghdad... as they appeared on the horizon behind him.

    I think every man and his dog bar one or two wummers on here know his tricks now.

    The proof will be in the pudding though as if we don’t invest and show some ambition and Rafa goes there will be som **** storm on the horizon and Ashley’s valuation of the club will go through the bloody floor!

    Ashley is so predictable.

    He will have an interview with Sky before the start of the season claiming that we can't compete with [insert club(s)], will re-iterate that he is just a paper billionaire that doesn't have the wealth necessary to make us successful whilst plugging the club for a possible sale. All with the sole purpose of trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes by:

    (a) Having no intention of selling by valuing the club at a completely unreasonable level
    (b) Trying to undermine the relationship between supporters and Rafa
    (c) Using his PR knob jockeys to paint our expectations as unrealistic
    (d) Promising to back Rafa with 'every penny that the club generates.' Emphasis on pennies.

    The guy is a first rate twat of the highest order.

    Rafa's comments the other day suggested he is effectively being held to ransom by Ashley over his contract. No money to spend unless he signs a new deal. Oh for an owner who actually wants his club to do well.

    Great work for me. Make the fat bastard Rafa sign his contract and show he truly is loyal to the club. I wouldn't give him a **** load of money to waste only so he can **** off when it doesn't work out. Wouldn't want to left holding another Aquilani baby either.

    The fact twat is still stewing over the drop in profits for his crappy company. Probably blaming Charnley for it as we speak.

    Wonder if his loan offer for Jeff Bezos has fallen through?

    I admire your enthusiasm for the WUM but feel that there must be something better you can do with your time, particularly while at work. You do seem to get a rise out of Lord Jonjomort and Trev is always good for an apoplectic response. However feel monosyllabic Ben has definitely got the better of you. His curt responses probably take him about 5 secs to bash out and even your recent personal attack didn’t merit more than a nicely succint three word reply - You little bitch!

    #IfRafaGoesWeGo

    All over Twitter. Around 5,000 followers, including a good number of local and national media.

    I know Pouchy likes attention, but this campaign is a whole new level. Well done, mate.

    Luke Edwards, Mark Douglas and apparently George Caulkin are backing it.

    I don't know, I think Ben 10 is one of my great successes. He really took that thread at face value. Couldn't see the wood for the trees.

    Fans should show the same resolve as Rafa to be honest. Refuse to renew the season ticket until we have some transfer funds.

    If I was Rafa, I'd certainly not be signing up for more of this pathetic "investment strategy".

    Can't Rafa just sign it for the sake of signing it and if things go tits up thanks to MA he can just resign? Or is that too simple?

    No because he then can't claim constructive dismissal.
