Lord, what the hell is happening in here?

you're better than that Disco[/member]

Darth Crooks[/member] just my opinion man. I've been completely engrossed into this clubs ups and downs since i was 10 years old all the way from Florida and now sat here 33 years old just utterly depressed over the whole Rafa thing. Easily the lowest I've ever felt about Newcastle was yesterday morning.

Gattuso would probably chin Charnley and Ashley too.

Think I will keep my signature for a long time, I love and respected what Rafa did for us in our moment of desperation and how he coached our team and believed in the club's potential. I was never able to follow us from Florida when I decided to become a Newcastle fan when Shearer signed. It was often costly and difficult to watch matches under SBR but I listened to every single match on the official site and paid whatever Pay Per View costs or tv channels i had to from whatever money I made in my odd-jobs growing up; so for me, in a time where PL and football access is at an all time high in the USA - I was able to see nearly every single match possible under Rafa -- and the way he gave us life and hope...will probably go down as my favorite ever manager of Newcastle. I'm probably never going to get over this.

It's a very difficult situation, but I am inclined to agree with you. If say Gattuso or Vieira came in, I would find it very hard to be against them. I just wish MA would leave man. The whole thing is so toxic now. my thoughts as well but I just find the prospect of Ashley giving the job to anyone who isn't british next to impossible since Rafa's the only foreign manager was Rafa and he went to Ashley. Most likely it'll be one of Pardew, Moyes, Bruce or Hughes and if it's pardew, moyes, bruce or hughes then that again deserves absolute hell from any and all.

i would never dare boo or show disrespect to the players who have given their all on the pitch, and the same goes for a coach who shows clear and utmost respect to newcastle the city, the fans, and it's players. The enemy is and always will be Mike Ashley, Charnley, Bishop, Barnes, and any other crony who talks utter tripe in support of MA. Football managers of the right mindset will come and do the same as Rafa did, confidence in themselves to achieve the impossible under MA. Sadly, all have failed.

prob with insane wages

relegation has not been the answer for him selling the club, ashley has seen us relegated 2x and paid the money to get out of it both times. there are only 2 ways he goes imo (1) divine intervention and he finally sells or (2) ruthless protests and action against him while we're in the PL i'm not convinced someone with any deep pockets at all buys us while we are in league 2 and works the club back up.

if X manager from the continent comes over and speaks the right things, gives respect to the fans, the post etc. then that's all you can ask for - a manager who respects the post and us fans. if it's a hopeless retread weirdo then give him 100% grief (bruce, fat sam, etc.)

Getting another McClaren has been like Bruce etc is the same fucking scenario waiting to happen in 2016.

focus should be on MA.

Should we have a new manager thread? And leave this for the Rafa stuff only?

Would be typical if they just spunked over 50m on joelinton and some winger and went on a spending spree.

When a tyrant has pushed the people too far, an uprising must occur.

This hurts but brighter days hopefully will come, one day. Be strong mate. I’m feeling down in the dumps myself. I really loved everything Rafa stood for on and off pitch.

The league is a joke. Willingly allowing shithawks to own clubs and run it into the ground - disgusting.

I am still so hurt and sick by this.

you allow rafa to leave and appoint some no name numpty or a retread like Bruce or a bang average Sean Dyche - You do not know what the fuck you are doing you utter fucking prick.

with the rafa stuff today i had 0 emotion watching my country squeek by. thanks mike ashley.

Edwards saying that Rafa refused to meet LC last week. Some very tense emails back & forth over the weekend. Rafa felt there would be 1 more push this week to keep him, and then Monday at lunch time the club basically called it off (aka Mike Ashley). Sickening.

the posts above, 100%.

George Caulkin @GeorgeCaulkin The sadness is that Newcastle had something profound in their grip, but never truly appreciated what Benitez meant: better. And, a minor, telling detail ... I’m told Rafa was given no prior warning today’s statement was coming.

will miss those rafa masterclass performances man.
