If you could go back in time and choose again...

It seems from what Rafa says.

Rafa says there are players available now and they wont act. They said they would back him. They now are not doing that. Thats got **** all to do with the internet.

Well, how can they act? The transfer window is shut. What exactly are they supposed to do?

In this clip you can see what they promised.

I refer you to talk of Snoogy Doogy and "player-specific budgets" for one, and would then ask you to look at Rafa's summer net spend of about £20m, which is probably less than the money Rafa made himself for the club in the run to the Athens CL final.

No broken promises in that lot Dhavlos.

And Rafa made the money himself did he nothing to do with the players then i suppose.

So the proof is websites quoting ppers in france who "believe". No actual proof.

Which players did Rafa miss out on in the summer?

Now youre just being an arse. You know full well that transfers are sorted out all year around, not in the the 4 weeks of the window being open in January.

This is a reasonable point, but we may not miss out on them and I also see this as a lack of understanding of the transfer window as they are listening to Parry who has told them they don't need t do anything until Feb 1st.

Mate, you're choosing to ignore the pertinent issue just to make a point - that they have not put in any funds into the transfer kitty beyond what the club itself has earned. Might as well have kept Moores in that case

That may be true but how EXACTLY are they supposed to act. I mean, what are you getting so upset about, what have they not doen that you were expecting them to do?

[Dhav]

That's not the point. The point should be that given the relatively low net spend in the summer there should be money in place now (given the promisesGillett and Hicks have made) for Rafa to tie up deals now (eg Mascher) and not for his hands to be tied and a transfer embargo to be in place.

Back Rafa.

What "pertinent issue" ( )

I want to know what promises they have or they seem to be reneging on and you haven't answered me.

You do realise that they cleared the club's debt when they tookover don't you?

[Red Chilli]

Back Rafa.

And have they not done that?

By rolling it up into a bigger debt to pass onto the club with the stadium costs plus the money they laid out for the shares.

Which they are trying to refinance now.

[The Glove]

Not according to Rafa.
