Will it change when Rafa inevitably gets fucked over then? Or will there will other mitigating circumstances. People are clearly angry.

Another potential slam dunk for the club.

Do the others have his pedigree though? I'm sure he's not going to go there but just seems odd to me that you'd discount someone of such obvious ability because he's not particularly liked. More fool them.

Slime. He barely like the one he's at.

Because if available he's one of the best options.. Don't think it would happen personally but to not be open to it because what? He's world class and the example there said they'd rather go back to Martinez.

Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.

I think it's the other way round. He stays; we coast the league having been given all he needs. Ashley however won't compromise - his definition of investment and compromise is so warped and they aren't going to just change because they will not admit a mistake or u-turn.

I'd like to take this opportunity to make it clear I'm not one of them http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6ofizsUJe1rwuopao1_400.gif

We'd be forgiven I think.

I remember the lets all laugh at Sunderland booklet

What's sung or booed on Sunday will not make one iota of difference either way.

He's a massive gobshite. Don't really trust a mans genuineness when you grow a pencil tache and put on an accent because you're in France.

So what exactly would be the point of keeping Charnley if his responsibilities are given to Rafa? They won't be. They'll try their luck and he'll leave.

This post makes Siem sad. http://i.istockimg.com/file_thumbview_approve/69642579/3/stock-photo-69642579-man-patient-in-hospital-room-sitting-alone-in-pain-sad.jpg

Without sounding like a broken record, I don't know why you'd bother. Protests outside the ground maybe. Inside the ground should be dedicated to Rafa in my opinion. What would a poisonous atmosphere inside the ground achieve exactly? (apart from being a good opportunity to vent) Well as far as know, theres not been a peep of this group planning one or otherwise. Like's been suggested, he knows the weight of sentiment is on his side already and his name will be sung. If he gets full control he'll stay. They won't give it to him and he'll go. He can see the poison around this place if he opens a paper or has an iphone.

He knows if he can make it work here; he'll be a God. He's got nothing to lose. He'll also get his name chanted plenty. There's 90 minutes to fill.

That fear makes no sense. We can't get on the back of the man ultimately responsible because he may go on to degrade the club. He's done it anyway and will do when he leaves. We just need to speed that up somehow and take our medicine. Keep pinning criticism on the minions for a greater fear is an exercise in futility. and these actions will continue to make people not want to go anywhere near the club! Good quite frankly, it'll mean that he can't throw anymore people to deflect the blame. We get good player/prospect - He'll sell them. We get a good coach; he'll fuck them over. We make a mistake, he'll repeat it. Keegan had it right when he says you can't work with them. So why the hell should we pussyfoot around him? He's not kim jong-il ffs.It's a viewpoint that just screams apathy.

He hasn't opened his wallet either and I actually want an owner to be involved - not just watch things melt to shit and go 'well he did it too' in interviews.

Yeah he's only had 4 years of stuff we've collectively written to plagiarise like.

Really doesn't bother me tbh. They haven't got a fucking clue.

Obviously I couldn't deny this under Ashley, but then again, why appoint Rafa in the first place if Nigel Pearson is available for £1m? Because they were arrogant enough to think it was never going to happen.

Hate the word communicate. What's the point of just communicating weasly justification for poor decisions? Communicate through positive action.

He wants us to be better than not in the premier league and however minimal I suppose AshleyOut would see it as leverage.
