Ashley In!!

Said a few weeks ago it would be one in, one out for them and they can't shift any of the shite he put on stupid money last summer. Ashley clearly sussed him in January. The whole thing is only ending one way now.

The Mag I work with talks about him as though he knows him. I can tell he really cares about himNo better than anywhere else he's managed.
Are the mags the corniest supporters in the world? They're worse than americans.

Aye and with a squad costing 10 times the other two promoted sides added togteher. Me Nana would have got them promoted and she died in 1988.

They were always going to need to buy, as he bought with no long term goal in mind. It doesn't look like Ashley is going to back him until he clears the decks a bit. However like others have said he will struggle as they gave the signings wages that no one will match.
I'm just glad for the mag s that Rafa is a world class manager and can develop players and doesn't need to spend big to get success.
@SpartansFan forgot to add he won relegation anarl

If anyone is living in the past, it's your manager. At a time when the most successful clubs in the Championship have been those that have assembled smaller, tight knit squads full of young players from their academies and from the lower leagues, Rafa went in the opposite direction. Made his already big squad even bigger. Brought in a bunch of players who cost the earth and would always be difficult to shift.
The transfer struggles may actually save him from himself. Having a clear best eleven who know each other and the system they play in, inside out is what seems to have worked for the likes of Leicester, Bournemouth and Burnley. From what I saw last season, he did far too much tinkering. With a smaller squad and the same players playing every week, you probably stand a better chance of stopping up.

How do you pronounce half an "f"?
Where's your mate from like?
Most of my mates can't say the letter "H"
They really struggle....its "endon" rather than Hendon and "ilton castle"
I'm far too posh for such pronounceation
Has he left yet?
