What Ryanair needs is different sized aircrafts, the times of a one size fits all aircraft sustaining growth can not continue. They need smaller aircrafts to compete routes which BE and other comparable airlines operate and if they're ever to expand outside of the EU, they need larger aircraft.
This whole Comac "relationship" is all spin just to scare Boeing into giving them a better offer. I would suggest Ryanair argues that the 737 and A319/20 series are all ageing aircraft, but they're more than happy to buy the "clearance stock". Questioning their models competitiveness nowadays might scare them enough to giving a better offer to Ryanair. (Obviously the rest of us know that both models are modern, and very successful but do the public know this?)
