He'll be in a right predicament come the summer . Mr Popular (in Rafa) chuck's it because of Mr Unpopular (Ashley) and Charnley has to pick up the pieces with an Ashley Mouthpiece in the post. Enjoy the next few months Mr Charnley because your existence is going to be a thoroughly miserable one when Rafa leaves.

He'll still be off in the summer btw. Ashley doesn't take kindly to being challenged. Love the man. He's fantastic and there's nobody I'd rather have in his position. Such class and dignity.

He'll be on some measly percentage of profit I should imagine. Amazing how money can colour your judgement.

Charnley just does what he's told man. He did an absolute fuck load of transfers in the summer. It's not like significant scientific research he's doing, it's a transaction. Yup.

He's not getting the boot. He's following orders.

There's no way this is a Charnley fuck up. I honestly can't grasp the mentality of some people clutching at 'Charnley this, Carr that, Pardew the other'. The root cause of the years of misery is Mike fucking Ashley FFS. Can't you put together the reemergence of this fucktard (see stories of 3 weeks ago) and a shameful transfer window? The big fat cunt was nowhere to be seen in the summer and business got done, so let's not pull the Charnley card.

Exactly. You can tell he's played this game before. Quality.

When you do get to see it, have a look at his facial expression as he kicks out. There's no doubting he went for the bloke .

He's as good as it gets in terms of his ability to hold the board to account. The best he's managed is one window/6 months. We've got no hope of any real progress and any man (let alone manager) of calibre until the fat fuck leaves.

Jesus fucking H.

Rafa's biggest mistake could be not using his leverage to force this cunt out back in the summer.

He may not lead directly because of January but it will be start of the process. 100%. They backed him in the summer and now they've failed to do so. He's (rightly) fucked off and will feel thay they've gone back on their agreement. He will make his opinions well known. Ashley loves nothing more than an argument and will rise to it. Rafa will go. The question now is just when.

Agreed. Wouldn't back us with somebody else's money TBH.

Charnley can only spend money that he's allowed to spend. Ashley's mucky fat fingers all over this I'm afraid.

I think deep down, we all knew how this was going to end. 100%. Said it when we appointed Rafa (or is that another victory claim?). The only outcome is a clash of ego's. The question was just how long it would take to happen.

Not sure this is a great time to be claiming petty victories tbh. Get to fuck.

Caulkin to some bloke on Twitter 'fair to say Rafa is thoroughly pissed off'. Nothing to worry about though, eh?

He was likely lied to, like Keegan, in other words. Don't be daft. Ian W said that it wasn't clear he'd been let down a few hours ago. Some fucking short memories here in respect of our shithouse of an owner.

Every defender looked like they had a mistake in them tonight. So poor.

There's an argument to say he cost us the game tonight.

Wheels could very easily come off here.

Yep.

. Don't get this 'shitting the bed/bed wetting' craic in any way, shape or form. He's clearly been let down by that fat clusterfuck's involvement. He's incapable of leaving well alone that fucking shithouse. 'Possibly' rather than clearly though right? No mate. Clearly. He said yesterday that he expected two through the door. Your constant blind optimism is fucking bewildering given the history of this regime. He said he was hopeful of two signings. Very different thing and all sorts of things could have happened Yeah like the fat cunt scuppered the deals due to trying to save money/play the smartarse. Given the history of NUFC under his reign, in particular around transfer dealings and their 'N'Zogbia/Michael Johnson esque' bullshit it's hardly a stretch to think they've let us down.
