Consortium of one

Right now he's our only offensive outlet and he's not good enough to fill that role. The man needs help.

and he does have a head like a cabbage. in multiple ways

I <3 ASM

Is that 40M with shit stained seats or no?

Tiote needs to be in the 1st XI just for the pea he hit to equalize against Arsenal. I nearly shit my pants when that went in.

I thought Sissoko should have stayed as a CM for us. Big, strong, pacy and mobile he would have made a very good box to box guy and he would have developed better in the middle of the pitch. I thought he lost a lot when we moved him out to the wing.

Yeah, they've turned on him completely... https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/donald-on-bbc-newcastle.1493883/page-2

So, now that we are 10 games in, let's see how Brewcies record matches up to Rafa's going forward.

Stockholm Syndrome

Just needs to rub some dirt on it and get stuck in.

A tired Wolves still beat us 0-2

He can't see beyond the nose of his face. He's too shortsighted and too impatient to build the club properly. Let's say he passes on Joelinton and spends 16M on Rondon and then puts 20M to advance the youth setup and training facilities. Let's say he opens the advertising to something other than SD and realizes say, 10M instead of 2M. Let's say he did this 10 years ago. Where would the club be? Much better place IMO. 350M? Who know, maybe 700M because we're fighting for top spots instead of settling for (maybe) not getting relegated.

The sheeple who defend Ashley over Rafa are mind numbing.

Well, he bought the club thinking they'd bounce right back up and he'd be able to sell them on for a tidy profit. The Don has been caught with his pants down.

Midhat?

I caught a portion of an interview with Mourinho in the spring. It was around the time that our fakeover was starting to ramp up and questions about Rafa were mounting. I didn't think he was advertising for Rafa's job at that time but I did think he was intrigued with what Rafa tried to accomplish here. I would think at some point a top manager would weary of the merry go around of top teams and the pressure that comes with being the difference maker to take them over the top. It's possible that Rafa planted a seed where some top managers take to the idea of building a sleeping giant's infrastructure and competing for trophies. It would be more than stepping into a position and having to immediately get results. It would be your vision and a club that would always bear your mark on it.

Mourinho turned down Lyon. Apparently he has a Premier league club on the line.

Almiron will come good. I hope.

A huge bright spot in a morose season.

Swimming pool? They must use tactics to hardy har har har

Kick the ball. Far.

Won't get fooled again.
