Didnāt Ashley say he wouldnāt be putting anymore money in for signings. One of the reasons Rafa left was because he couldnāt get signings. Then he leaves and Ashley stumps up Ā£40mill for some random striker with a piss poor scoring record.
Mike Ashley being a cheeky b***ard.Ashley Criticises Benitez Mike Ashley has hit out at former Newcastle United and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez.Benitez left St. Jamesā Park this summer to join Dalian Yifang in China after his contract expired.On the breakdown in talks over a new deal, Ashley said: āIf you come out and say the things he did you would think it was football club first, Rafa second, money third.āIād say it was money first, Rafa, then the club last. He took the totally soft option, took the money and went to China. That disappoints me.āIf heād gone back to Real Madrid, or a top six club in the Premier League, I get it. But it was about money and all he had to do was say that from the beginning.āMy view always was we had to keep Rafa. For my own personal safety we had to keep Rafa.āI thought he had us offside, he had us cornered, it wasnāt fair, it wasnāt right, Iāve been totally out-manoeuvred, I probably shouldnāt own a football club, itās ridiculous, but Iām a big boy.āYet every time with Rafa it was impossible ā there was always another thing, and the next thing, and the next thing. He asked for a 50 per cent pay increase and I think he did that because he knew it couldnāt work.āAnd if we had agreed to that, I think it would have been something else. And everyone thinks we lost him because we wouldnāt pay a couple of quid more. He had the microphone and we didnāt.ā
Yeah who is this Joelinton guy, sounds more like a rapper or Fine Young Cannibals reject. The tw*t Ashley likes the sound of his own voice.
Probably an attempt by Ashley to get the fans onside.
I am sure Rafa is worried about the fat c**t. Geordies know who he is and will not rest until the fat c**t has gone.
Ashley trying to screw 2 football ckubs at once. Newcastle and rangers
Heard he was on Sky the other night to analyze the mighty reds. Anyone got any videos of it? The ones on the Sky website wonāt work outside the UK.
Wonderful.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMKDSHl5PJg
Looking at this lovely pic of Rafa & his dogs Iāve noticed that Rafa looks like heās shed a load of weight..https://twitter.com/joerimmer88/status/1330917034599780353?s=21
Proper dogs man and he has a labrador. Love him even more. Really want to see him back in European football. As serious as he's taking that project in China, Europe is badly missing one of its greatest ever managers.
