I suppose they will say it's worked so far, but i agree with you, i think it will bite them on the arse eventually.

We are a much bigger club than Swansea, Southampton or Stoke it could be argued, but they are now established PL sides who for the most part haven't been flirting with relegation year on year and who seem to have a strategy for some improvement on and off the pitch. We are owned by an idiot, ran by idiots and have no strategy or plan in place (any that makes sense anyway) for improving. Watford could easily fall into the 'Stoke' category of sides if they get their next appointment correct. Playing the we are bigger than you card needs some revision in my opinion. Far 'bigger' clubs than the Watfords of this world have been languishing in the second tier of football for years now. To dismiss the Watford link smacks of arrogance to me. Thanks to Ashley we really are a toxic choice. I wouldn't dismiss them becuase of that, i would rule them out because they change their managers so often that it wouldn't suit Rafa at all. Especially if he's looking to build something somewhere, Watford is 100% not the place for him to do that. You'd argue that we're not in the habit of being builders either. Not that I think he's off to Watford. Very true, although i'm running with the assumption that we've seen the light and will hand Rafa what he wants. (hope, it'll kill me won't it)

I'd buy/loan Nathan Ake for LB if he'd play in the Championship, might not be top draw but solid enough for that league and could develop into a Premiership LB. He had a decent enough season in Premiership this season with Watford. Loftus Cheek in CM on loan, he would play every game which he doesn't now. Probably wouldn't drop a league and but it's worth asking (Conte might fancy him though, so i know it's unlikely). Just throwning a couple of names in.

I know that picture isn't the most flattering. But f*** me, you must have low standards You should see my wife Charming. The french bimpy Bimpé

Got them relegated ? We were relegated when he arrived. The fact we even got out of the relegation zone for a week was a miracle. Sorry

Oh god, we get Mike Dean and it'll go ape on here.

They do still ref now and again in the Championship you'll be afraid to hear.

'The one thing you have to do in the Championship is to fight and scrap' I'm sorry but that bit is just plain wrong, it's lazy often said nonsense, the Championship isn't like that anymore. Virtually none of the teams up the top 'fight and scrap'. They're organised and most play decent football on the floor. Look at the three that came up last season, Bournemouth (outplayed us twice), Watford (the same) and Norwich (certainly no scrapers). Play good attacking football and be good defensively, two things Rafa will get us doing and we'll get out of that league impressively imo.

The horse

Rafa.

I have no idea what you mean.

I remember when Sir Bobby passed away there was an interview with Llambias on SSN where he said that when he went to a match he'd go to him and offer advice, criticism, etc. and offer some home truths at the same time. I could imagine Benitez as someone that would try similar with this current lot. Whether they listen to him is another thing. I think there's more chance of Charnley listening to Rafa, than Llambias would from Sir Bobby or anyone else. Llambias took arrogance and ignorance to whole new level. We've just got to hope Ashley has given Charnley the green light to give Rafa what he wants, all Charnley then has to do is sit back enjoy the ride.

He's got teeth that look like a worn out rockery.

Why? Why post guff like this? Quite, the spelling is awful.

The fact he's talking to Charnley is a good sign. Means he hasn't made his mind up to leave and could be thinking of staying. The fact he's talking to Charnley is a bad sign. Means he's talking to a man baby who has no idea what he's doing.

But will the terms have changed now we're down.

Then he's gone like.

To have full control, would Charnley and Carr not need to effectively sack themselves? Really can't see that happening. Not really, Rafa tells Carr to go where Rafa wants him to, to look at players Rafa tells him to. Charnley, pays whatever price Rafa tells him to for the players Rafa wants. Or the pair of fucktards get sacked by Ashley, which doesn't seem like it will happen.

That is the big thing, i think we'll throw whatever Rafa wants at him, money, control, transfers, the whole shebang. It really is down to whether Rafa fancies it or not.

I thought that too. They wouldn't be releasing a statement now if there was going to be one coming saying Rafa is staying. They released a statement because we are relegated. He'll stay if we offer him full control of football matters. It's as simple as that. It's as simple as that? Surely you don't really believe that? I really do. Ashley is a thin skinned fatty who doesn't like too much attention. He'll give Benitez whatever he wants to keep him here if he has any hope of getting back into the premier. What are the alternatives? Steve Bruce? Neil fucking Warnock? Aye. For a fraction of the price too. I actually think the money side of it isn't a big of an issue as it was before. It's their lack of brains that worry me more now.

The perfect way to quell unrest is to get Rafa sorted for next season now, cynical i know but it would go along way to ease fears. Getting it done and putting it of the front page of the match programme for Sunday would be clever. Of course we won't as we are too stupid of a club to do that.
