I respect Ranieri but wouldn’t exactly make my blood rush.

Lee’s mam as in Mrs Thumb?

Monk, Moyes or Allardyce Jesus Christ.

Rafa did though I think it’s pretty obvious now that the experiment won’t be repeated. Given the Odin situation, I realise that nobody will believe anything now, but i’ve heard a tiny little rumour that the replacement is already sorted, and was weeks ago. Go on then, who might it be?

Not trying to be funny or downplay your suffering or anything but I just find posts like this so odd. This has been going on for 11 years now. If you didn't 100% know this was coming at some stage, you've been very naive. It's like being devastated about your wife's 47th affair having known about the other 46. It's not going to stop anytime soon so I would brace yourself for more heartache or, much more sensibly, just toss it off altogether. I disagree, understand ToonArmy1892 completely. Rafa brought feelings that had been missing for years. Hope, belief, pride, dignity. Those feelings go with him. Many of us started to believe in a bright future for this club, especially with talks of a takeover floating about. A future with Rafa and without Ashley. There ain't no takeover and there never was. Doesn’t look like it, no. I suppose you ”knew” that all along?

Agreed, I’d be up for that.

Abusing some stooge of a manager won’t achieve anything, in fact it probably would suit Ashley fine. Pardew was a different story since he was a detestable human being.

Reminds me of Dave Chapelle. Where is Ja???!!?

The future is bright, eh?

The club is gasping for air but not completely dead until this is dismissed.

Things that are expected can still hurt you know.

Yep

God, this is starting to sink in. I’m devastated. Gonna need professional help.

Let’s buy a non-league club.

Entirely pointless to me. Doesn't matter who's in charge with a total lack of ambition and shit ownership. Yes, you’re right of course. But if someone like Bielsa came in (who I’ve followed somewhat, loved his Bilbao team) I imagine I’d be pulled back in. Maybe.

Hard to see anyone making me care like Rafa did. Bielsa maybe.

Difficult thread, one for the conoisseurs. Misunderstood now but a future classic.

This. I struggle to see who they could bring in who’s better/more high profile than Rafa.

" I know its over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real " Club is in a coma, I know I know it’s really serious

A man of the people.

The takeover is truly our only hope then.

”NUFC fear Rafa Benitez could let his contact run down and leave the club in crisis.” Fuck right off. It's all Rafa's fault like.... Directly from Camp Ashley.
