It is literally impossible to sack him due to the fans backing as well. Ashley knows if he does that, then there will be an uprising against him and they will boycott the club. Similarly, Rafa can’t resign due to the release fee clause in his contract.

Yet part of me feels Ashley has had enough and doing an Ellis Short. He doesn’t want to be there and has pulled the plug on investment in the bid to salvage his losses and make a profit. He has tried to sell it and failed, but everyone knows it is a poisoned chalice. Anyone can see the fans ludicrous expectations and their quickness to turn on anyone who won’t spend billions.

I can see what you mean, i thought that myself of late, Ashley being inspired by Short, in fact if we look at the mags, without the hate, and the rivalry you could say, the way both clubs have been run in the past in our case, and now in the mags case it looks similar.

He’s doing a class job as well I’m convinced he’s only been to the last two games to stick two fingers up and say it’s my club I’ll do what I want :lol:

Precisely. I don’t care much for his methods as a businessman. But I just luuurve what he’s doing to Newcastle.

The media say the worry for Newcastle if Benitez, in my opinion they are way more likely to go down if they keep him.

IIRC it's his last year of his contract that neither party will break because of the huge financial implications. It could be a scenario like Pelligrini leaving Man City when the players weren't arsed near the end as they knew the manager was off. :lol:
 
.. The Spanish waiter is going to get them relegated again. He's holding the daft gits to ransom and they are still tugging him off .. Can't blame Ashley for not giving him dosh when he wants away. I mean, you'd have to be a right idiot to give dosh to some fucker who wants to piss off at the first chance they get ..
