why does Ashley suddenly release the purse strings now that Rafa has gone? My guess is the odious one doesn’t like people who disagree with him. And Rafa wouldn’t become one of his sheep.
Also his PR Machine has to get into top gear to assuage the fans. Don’t be fooled he is still rotten to the core.
