I agree - of course it isn't an Ashley tactic. He is just continuing to run the club as he always has - on a complete shoestring for the sole purpose of his own financial benefit.
Yeah Charnley is woeful. If we succeeded in pushing him out then we could take the massive step back up to Llambias or similar. With that done we could then enjoy more hope-devoid transfer windows and neverending transfer sagas for quality like Erdinc and Gomis.
For sure, it's like wanting Rafa out - to be replaced by what? A rotting carcass? A bin? Or worse, Curbishley?
The troubling thing is we're going down. I don't see a scenario where Ashley sells when we're relegated.
Harder and harder to see a way out of this mess.
