How are we able to attract players that are better than 15m and 16m rated when we are in Championship?

Yea i think Marseille would love to have Thauvin instead of Cabella. For our side probably Rafa hasnt made up his mind yet. To be honest Townsend and Thauvin as our wingers in Championship are more than enough.

I think Cabellas clause is he could be automatically be their player if the player has played for a number of matches, at an agreed price, which Newcastle could not reject. However, this can be rescinded if both clubs would opt to ignore the clause i.e. Marseille would not want to get Cabrlla which we want him back. hence why he is not yet officially transferred out. Very likely it is pending on Marseilles final decision.

This is strange. Why would he want to?

Glad we are relegated.

I think it is down to that fact that he didnt take any risk when there was possibilities of being tackled in order to avoid injury. Whether this is his style or simply he dun give a fuck for us since he is targetting big clubs....i dont know, my take is on the latter but i hope he proved me wrong.

Honestly, ruined by injury, Saylor is quite unlucky as a footballer. He is at least a decent EPL defender before the last few injuries.

I think basically it is a new contract. The last one will no longer be effective since it has a relegation clause, and rafa could and should request that the new promises made by Ashley and Charnley be written in the new contract so that he can leave anytime if those promises did not materialize.

Bye. Thanks for Cabaye. All others are shits.

We actually need time to let some of the youngsters to blossom, most notably lacelles, adam and mitrovic.

What a brilliant season we have had.

Wijnaldum. Simple. He simply plays for himself only.

You have to look at Rafas own career to understand why he has chosen us at this moment. Rafa has his best years as a manager in Valencia and Liverpool where he has nearly full control of all matters. In contrast, when he was in Chelsea, Real Madrid, etc where he was just a tactical coach, he always tends to fail due to his players ignored his instructions i.e. he did not have enough power. He needs full control to succeed. Honestly, there isnt much club in the world that can give him this kinda set up, BUT, we can. Or I should say, he earned it, by gaining 100% support from the fans and forcing Ashley to give him.

Interesting. Charnley but not Ashley?

Mercenaries.

Exactly. A year in Championship is nothing.

I have had a deep think last night, and i realized, that ironically, this season is exactly what we want, and what we need. A season to prove to the world that this current regime has fucked up big times, and a season to prove to the world that with a great manager everything can change. Whats even more important, is we found the one, after so many years of darkness and soulless. If Rafa stay, this is a very successful season. Thats the turning point. Relegation is nth.

This is like a propose. Jesus christ.

Aye. I dont think he can find a club with so much suportings from the fans anymore. Even Liverpool cant. Once he won the negotiation over Ashley, he is basically the king of Northeast and he can do anything for the foreseeable future. That is something he cant find elsewhere.

All are cunts. Window shop. Fucking obvious and ridiculous.

It is pretty obvious thats the case. He shouted in joy after thr goal that he can leave.

A. People ignored the possibility that once our club is back on track Ashley will fuck up again and Rafa will leave everything will back to square one

Cracking read. I think no manager can save our season if Charnley has had made so many fatal errors.

It is not just the promotion that matters, but how a top club should be running, how to construct a youth training system, how to do match preparations, what a top norch scouting system should be etc that are really too valuable to let go. Our so called big club intangibles are all gone thanks to all the cunts after SBR and Rafa is the one and only one that can help us to restore this. He has to be here at any cost, we cant let him go. It is really the last last chance that Newcastle can revive. And due to this, i really hope all the fans can try their best in that 90 mins to persuade Rafa to stay, even if the possibility is just 1%.

Nah he would be sacked. The only reason for not happening is no one willing to take up the seat. Ensure EPL status and making profits are the only requirement from Ashley and fail to do so warrants a sacking.
