If he turns them down they'll call him worse than shite and he wouldn't have been good enough anyway!

I wouldn't worry they'd have to run by a complete buffoon for that to happen. Oh hang on a minute

Rafa is holding out for assurances before committing to a long term deal, but looks set to put pen to paper.

Ashley keen to keep him on, the plan is to try and hold onto as many first team players as possible and get promoted at the first time of asking.

High risk strategy from Mike?

If he absolutely and categorically wanted to stay, the ink would have been dry at some stage yesterday evening.

you really think, it could happen, that rafa could be the one our lot have all been waiting for, the one who will destory them ?
 
Lads, let's stop deluding ourselves.
If FSW doesn't stay, they'll get Moyes or Pearson or Flores, someone decent - fwiw I think its 100pc nailed on FMA will give him all he wants.

However, the main thing is, is that the Ch'ship is very mediocre. Very mediocre indeed. Even if 4/5/6 of their so called top rated players leave, they'll still be too strong for most sides esp at home.
There is no way they will finish outside the top six and imho, they'll piss it like they did last.

However, by the time they return, they will find us and many others, much stronger than when they saw us last !
