Me too. How has this happened? Everyone was ready to jack the club in a few weeks ago. To be honest it's still Rafa or bust for me, if they manage to mess up keeping him then I'll still support the club, but I won't go to games. I'm half expecting them to say that Wonga have p*ssed off as well, just to put the icing on the cake. Cause keeping Rafa would be as close to winning the league for us. After all the chaff we've had to put up with we are close to somehow getting, not only a World Class manager but one who seems a genuinely nice guy. In the short time he has been at the club my estimation of him has gone up 1000000000%. Been so impressed.

Me too. Quite a few at work are saying the same - be unheard of - relegation increasing season ticket numbers

Personally I think if Rafa stays it could be a blessing in disguise. He holds all the cards now and it's up to Ashley to convince him to stay by giving him FULL control. Could be the start of something - FINALLY.

4M for Riviere.

..and assist for Janmaats

Totally missed the foul at the match but seen it now - idiot.

Focus of today was one man - Rafa. His name was sang from start to finish - today was great because 52,000 put all their effort in begging him to stay.

ON SSN now that Ashley has met Benitez. Come on Mike get begging.

We need Rafa in more than Ashley out. We will NEVER do better than Rafa where as we could get just as bad an owner. So B.

Am hoping if Leicester showed him one thing it's the value of having a decent manager.

Rafa was positive about his talks with Charnley so he seems to be doing OK at this point. Charnley could just be lying through his teeth though. You are that quote from Shearer above, they're scumbags. Lets not forget Keegan - they have form.

Sounds like it's down to Charnley - he'll mess it up I'm not sue Charnley will have the bottle to balls it up. The atmosphere at the match tomorrow could be crucial. Agreed.

Sounds like it's down to Charnley - he'll mess it up

Dat hope. Hope he's not just waiting to see what other offers come in

Rafa Benitez's Press conference was POSITIVE but sounds like the ball is well and truly in #nufc 's court. So much for SSN

maybe being told what they can/can't ask

Still waiting for it start

Or Ashley might not want to....

He's the perfect foil for Armstrong.

Same.

Charnley just leave and turn the lights off on your way out.

He'll be off.
