Ashley will blink first and hand him some money, although given that £20m buys you fuck all and they've sold all the bargaining chips last summer it won't be easy to freshen things up.

We will have exactly the same problem if we scrape up which is why we should only be buying players with long term potential.

Aye, he'll give Rafa £20m...at 10:30pm on deadline day :lol:

He didn't spend £70m to get us relegated- tufty spent the vast majority of that on French wannabees.

Benitez almost kept us up despite the dire position we were in when he arrived.
And he bounced us back to PL at first attempt which is something I am pretty confident SAFC will not do.
And he will keep us out of the bottom 3 this year - mark my words.

......I'm actually slightly amazed by the lack of rancour being shown to SAFC heirarchy on here....
...You guys have given in.
You've accepted the fact that you are shite. ...
You've accepted the fact that you are destined to languish in a shite league. ..
Happy days

You lot rewrite history. Your position wasn't dire, it wasn't easy but Benitez had some massive opportunities to get you safe that he failed with.
Do you not remember the match v Villa??? Villa were absolutely horrific and Benitez set you up in his normal safety first unimaginative way and you drew the game. It was there for the taking and he didn't have the courage to attack (which he very rarely does)
When he took over you had some real quality within your squad. Now you don't and he has spent an absolute fortune by buying too many players at around the £5m mark each

He has done an awful job overall. Yes he got you promoted but he did it in a way that makes it massively difficult to get a squad prepared for the PL as he has bucket loads of players he can't shift

But keep believing he's "world class". It keeps me topped up with great entertainment and endless chuckles anyway

You really are a set of dafties

He calls it a dire position despite Di Canio & Advocaat keeping us up with less time than Rafa did iirc :lol:

I've seen better, but have a like for the effort.

He might do just that but to be fair the owners of both clubs no longer seem to be that interested.

Said to my dad that we are both in a similar predicament, it's just that they're up against higher standard of opponents so are in more need to spend.

Tables turned from last season tbf.

It's a football story, yes? One that has been debted by the national media this week. Why is it so inconceivable that it would be discussed on a football message board? Or is it more to with this "166" pages comments and similar to it, are little attempt to divert from an issue that you are struggling to deal with?
