    Well it would be imaginary as I don't have a box - you've been listening to ACS too much. I haven't offered him any inducements of any sort in order to see what the facts are. He simply has a brain that is functioning and isn't some Rafa fanboy making up silly financial forecasts to suit a ludicrous witch hunt of our fine owner.

    GG - which game do you want my corporate tickets for next season? :biggrin: I always think fact finding like this deserves to be rewarded.

    I remember a time when we had a Chairman who came out in the press saying "the manager has my turtle support" (have you guessed the Chairman yet?).

    These days the manager has got to beg the Chairman to want the club he owns to be successful. There's something inherently wrong with this.

    Let’s not hold Freddy up as a shining beacon of stewardship. Sacked sbr ffs on top of everything else.

    However your second point is bang on. Utterly bizarre unless you’re an Oyston.

    A little OT but what happened with Beardos bulllying? Another case of Ashley/Charnley simply not bothering?

    Ashley is responsible for both relegations in that the buck stops at the top. In terms of direct responsibility for each seasons failure - the first relegation was a full on Ashley induced train-wreck whilst the second was a full on McClaren train wreck.

    Yep. It's more tortoise support these days, the speed Mike and Lee like to move at.

    Except you guessed wrong. Freddie wasn't from Ashington. This Chairman wanted us to win the "Prime-ier League".

    I heard they have closed the aquarium in Ashington. The management said it was for cleaning porpoises.

    Sad state of affairs if West Ham manage to take Rafa off you's. Not exactly a step up as far as im concerned. I think Rafa would have it in his contract that if a club comes in for him he'd be allowed to leave but I'd be surprised if that club would be West Ham!

    Rafa: "I'm only talking to Newcastle"

    Press: "He's talking to West Ham, Napoli, Everton and Sunderland."

    I'm sure Rafa's people have nothing to do with these newspaper links to assist in his negotiations with the board. Rafa never uses the media like that afterall...
