Literally the only thing that comes out of that statement is that he clearly rates Rafa. Which may end up being the most important thing. If Ashley rates Rafa he can do everything in his power to keep him. . Have a distant memory of him saying something positive about Shearer before rejecting his calls for three months back in 2009 though tbf.

We're still following the Aston Villa model very closely. Some might say we've mastered it.

They've both been pretty graceful about various things in the past.

No doubt. And, if that is the case, Rafa won't appreciate being used as a pawn in their game.

De Jong will be one of the first few gone.

The break clause is there for a reason. He fully intended on quitting if we dropped imho. The question now, is whether or not he feels some sort of affinity with the fans/area and whether he can work with the knobheads above him. I'm sceptical.

Wonder what the odds are on this cunt having a comment in the press about us going down than our current manager? He'll be revelling in this the fucking slimy toad.

This is it. Any other 'port' town would have forced him out by now. Liverpool/Glasgow etc. We used to have more passion, more strength of character than this.

He drives a Range Rover too with hideous red seats to match his hideous barnet. He's as weak as fuck this bloke. It's no coincidence we're going down and we've got no presence in the middle of midfield. He's a fundamental reason in our decline and the signing of him is a perfect reflection of the Ashley era. Do it cos it's cheap not because it's right. Yohan Cabaye replacement, my arse.

There's literally nothing for this inept cunt to cling to and yet he's still there.

If they don't convince Rafa to stay (or more likely spend the money required to get him to stay) then the volume will increase ten-fold. The reaction to him leaving will be worse than the reaction to going down imho.

I can't believe that Adam Johnson's contribution to their survival has been completely overlooked. 13 points he won them and all along they knew he was going down. No independent investigation. No involvement from the FA. Nothing. It's a total scandal and it's like it never happened. Whitewash.

He couldn't destroy a ham sandwich.

This.

It's very telling that NUFC, under Charnley, started this season talking about righting wrongs and being prepared to communicate more/being generally more accessible etc and all we get is a few poxy emails from Steve and a manky 'fans forum' which is akin to a North Korean chat room. This bloke couldn't have got his decisions more wrong and I very much hope there is a severe consequence for it.

He'll go to the Mackems imho. Him and Defoe up top is an Allardyce wet dream.

The fucking turd that just wont flush.

Yep. You and me both.

I'm not being overly negative, it's just a horrible feeling I have.

Wasn't Martinez part of the clique in the North West (when he had Wigan) with Fat Sam, Fergie etc?

Won't be that simple though. Never is with us.

Have a horrible feeling that they will score first and we'll have to chase the game.
