    So basically I’m thinking if we don’t hear anything between tomorrow and Friday 5pm then CAT is happening. No question this then means ARB is happening and if that’s the case then the PL have a strong case!!!!

    Not necessarily. It's up to the club to announce any deal so it could have been sorted and it's just waiting for the formal takeover which could take ages

    The CAT case is legal and in the public eye. If it’s been dropped it will be communicated. However I guess it could be dropped for two reasons:
    1. MA has dropped it
    2. The courts have thrown the CAT case out
    Either way it will be stipulated.

    Ross Armstrong has stated that Rafa will be back if Bruce is sacked.

    Football Insider have said that Rafa is PIFs first choice and they want him to kick start their project.

    This.

    If the CAT is dropped voluntarily then arbitration has been successful or a settlement reached.

    Those working on the deal have also laid the groundwork for Benitez to make a stunning return as manager to the club where fans idolise him.

    It could see the Champions League winner back in the dugout for the new season with Steve Bruce making way.

    Yeah I reckon so. It makes his Instagram post more apparent now with the "enjoying the good weather in England for as long as it lasts! Hopefully we have a lovely summer".

    Honest question. Does anyone really think Rafa might be being drip fed info on this.

    I mean he really has had many opportunities to get back in management and he hasn’t been close. I can’t believe none of the current premier league club vacancies have not approached him? Especially when he is available!

    He is waiting for the outcome of arbitration. That is the only logical explanation.

    Yeah I think so, which is why people are saying that if Rafa goes to a different club, then the takeover isn't happening.

    I do believe the rumours that he has a hotel booked in Istanbul on the 16th, but by then it should be clear what is happening with us.

    This guy has a lot of spare time on his hands. I guess if we win arbitration he will also have a lot of money in his hands also.

    I do think he is the choice of AS. It is definitely odd he hasn’t taken up a job given there are so many available.

    The turkey thing I don’t buy. He has a family who won’t want to move there and he doesn’t need the money and he can get jobs here. That just doesn’t make sense.
