Hope he doesn't call... his own debt in?!
More likely to sell to Jim Ratcliffe (who's worth twice as much) if he really wants out.
RA is worth £9.2bn apparently, that's quite a large percentage of his worth.Stevo 666 wrote:

Meanwhile, looks like we could rake in £150m for Hazard.

It looks like Super Frank is Chelsea bound, if I was generous I’d say the potential appointment is being made with the heart rather than the head as it’s a step change from previous managerial appointments.
But RA has never been sentimental in running the club so is it a outcome that he can’t get a residency visa in the UK and now Switzerland?
Frank will appease the fan base, the transfer ban is outside the clubs control so is it a hunker down and aim to finish above Wolves this season while a sale is negotiated?“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

Thought Ratcliffe a la Ineos was a prospective purchaser? Or was that just gossip?0

Ratcliffe is interested and has said so. Takes two to tango though and looks like Roman isn't selling quite yet.orraloon wrote:Thought Ratcliffe a la Ineos was a prospective purchaser?

Or Ratcliffe doesn’t like the asking price. I can’t see Chelsea achieving more next season as their squad is going backwards in terms of capability.
The smart money would leave the acquisition a season or two as the value is only going to diminish.
You never know Rafa might end up there instead.“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

The BBC had the best quote I’ve read “ and Wolves fans haven’t seen football this good in decades”
Indeed we haven’t.
Would you like the duster? It’ll be the only activity the Chelski trophy cabinet will be seeing for the foreseeable future.
So who do think will get the boot first? Ole , Super Frank when he gets his dream job or the fat Spanish waiter’s replacement at Newcastle?“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day.

Might have misinterpreted, the phrase included 'fitter' as in 'well fit'. Alternative understandings, but both valid.Pinno wrote:orraloon wrote:There's someone here near me who is asking how come on average US international players are prettier than Inglish players.

Ole is the bookies favourite for being the first manager to be sacked this season.
Mind you we have wait and see who Ashley can entice to Newcastle.“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

but Manure are (allegedly) buying Maguire and Pogba is staying and Ole has said that Manure are brill so shurely that means they are going to win everything, n'est ce pas?
