"It has worn everybody in media out over months" We should send them flowers and fucking best wishes then!!

Wouldn't want to be the next manager after Rafa Talk about fighting an already lost battle. Players will be extremely unmotivated and the few decent ones will want to leave and so on.. Not that I really care, but I certainly hope it goes to shit, and I'm very certain that it will. Can't understand how Ashley and thumb cunt don't seem to understand how much money they will lose without Rafa

More of a challenge coaching less intelligent players.

Yaaaawn...

See lots of talk about 50m + player sales and blah blah. It could be 'decent' enough for Rafa, but I think the main issue will be that even IF he was to get that money he wouldn't be able to spend it how/when he sees fit. The people in charge of getting the deals over the line will haggle and haggle and refuse to pay the going rate, meaning that we'll miss out on targets as well as getting our new signings in way way too late. Rafa wants a mix of experience and youth, and get them deals done early. He won't get that. Why the hell would Rafa get the pennies this time? Or get deals in early and so on.

I really really hope that Rafa tells us before his last home game(s) in charge that he won't sign a new contract, so that we can thank him off in the best way possible. Man! Has he delivered for us on and off the pitch. He has kept this wreck together miraculously somehow, and had everyone united and fighting as well as hoping for better times in the future. Unfortunately the tiny bit of hope that he gave us will soon be gone. He hasn't been a Yes Man and hasn't played down the clubs potential and told us repeatedly what we can't be or become. He knows where this football club can and should be. He's been one of our best managers, and one that would have been willing to commit his future to us for many years to come and build something special. I will always be thinking "i wonder what could have been"..

In Sweden most of us don't work until Tuesday

When Rafa leaves I desperately want the club I love to go to absolutely fucking shit, that its worth absolutely nothing in a few years so that parasites like Ashley don't even see the point in staying and fucking us over and over again. This is what I think will happen in a not too distant future. At least we'd have some sort of hope for change. without Rafa we wouldn't even be in the PL now. At least this man will walk away with much love and respect from us.

"Monitor" players for as long as possible and haggle and haggle and sign a 15-20m player late late in the window along with a loan and a dirt cheap average player. Wont be Rafa's problem.

£50m plus player sales Even IF it was true I'd say it's bare minimum. But it'll be like telling your kid at 6:55pm that here's £5 that you can buy candy for, plus whatever you get for these cupcakes, only for the candy shop to close at 7pm. Also, you can only buy this and this type of candy.

I'd be very very surprised if he decides to stay.

Preferably a sheep one I imagine.

Sick of this, can't wait for it to be over, either way. Having said that i obviously hope for a positive ending, but naah, ain't gonna go that way for us Newcastle United fans.

Said it months ago that I can see Brighton going down. Look at me!

So naive.
