Keep Rafa and we'll be back up this time next year and we'll piss all over these. They can take the piss now but it'll not last long.

I think it's over for us today, I hope I'm wrong.

Keegan and Bobby were my footballing Hero's and rightly so because of what they did for us but Rafa could even eclipse those two if he remains and builds something here.

he's probably made his own way without telling anybody, he does have history.

Nahh, he's more than good enough at that level. I think people on here somewhat overrate how high the quality in the championship is tbh I wouldn't want to watch him even if he is good enough for that league, we'd only end up keeping him longer.

I think you're right, in that we get so used to watching s**** week in, week out, that we look towards the championship and think we are still going to continue being s**** week in, week out, without stopping to think about the reduced quality of teams we'll be playing in it. The Championship isn't a good league at all.

Our current squad and our current manager walks all over the Championship, not that we would want or be able to keep the current squad.

I hope he gets a life ban from football.

I'll accept that offer, any chance you could expand on it so that I can kick you if you say anything at all?

Everyday people die and this bastard lives on, its a travesty.

This is the most depressing thread on the forum.

Some of our players might interest promoted clubs, if they can afford their wages.

What?

He should be one of the first out of the club, along with Charnley and Moncur.

I would guess that McClaren had a hand in spending some of that, not that Carr hasn't been s***.

Some of them still have reputations which will see them leave, at a loss.

That may be why I said " As long as we get rid of the s**** from the squad and bring in proper players who give a s***."

The Championship is no better than it was the last time we went down.

I'm not sure the tactics were too wrong, the players were shite and couldn't find the net.

I wouldn't be stupid enough to find another club to support if I walk away from Newcastle, which I had partially until Rafa turned up.

I don't think he's good enough and I can't see that changing because he'll never gain the pace that he's missing.

He doesn't have to say anything until we're relegated.

I hope he does stay because it wouldn't take much to bring us back up as long as we get rid of the shite from the squad and bring in proper players who give a shit.
