  1. I’ll take interest when PCP come forward with a figure to buy the club from this present waste of space. A new contract for Rafa is nothing more than a bribe to keep Rafa on board. Promises of money coming Rafa’s way is just going to be another broken promise. PCP please rescue us from this pie eating fire place vomiting piece of dirt.
