Fair point but I'm not even convinced he will walk. It can't be nice now coming in to training and working every day knowing there is no chance of progression or any hope of anything good. Especially if he knows he is leaving in may then it will all go tits up if he left. He would literally just be keeping us up on the cheap too keep Ashley on the gravy train again. He has been shafted the last 2 summers and is still here. Maybe he just enjoys been here regardless. Maybe he would sign a new deal even the way things are now. If he was here last season and he is here all this season then what's to say he won't do another 2 or more seasons like it? That would be the worst for me it all just carrying on like this, something has to give and soon

It's not daft it's true. We all pretty much agree the most important thing for the club is getting Ashley out. With Rafa the pressure on him is at about 40%. Rafa walks then it at least doubles.

He has no business being here anymore. He is the only thing keeping a mass wave of hate and pressure towards Ashley at bay. Just step aside and let it unleash Rafa man you have f all to lose

Unfortunately by sticking around and taking it Rafa has made a rod for his own back. He should have been long gone by now

Stick him on the list along with Bellamy, shola, forde, my dad, keys, wise etc

I think supporting the team for the most part then chanting about Ashley for the last 5/10minutes at every game is the way to go at the moment. Protest at every home game in some form and the occasional away game too and constantly do it online and via the media. Then as the transfer window closes after January we start turning the screw more, and more. I think the time to turn would be post January surely, if the club don't tie him down to a new contract (which they obviously won't) then burn it all down as it won't matter anyway. So what if he does sign a new contract? He could sign one today and it wouldn't change a thing for me. What's to say he wouldn't put up with another 2 years like we have had in the transfer windows. Ashley out is the be all and end all. With or without Rafa or whatever else. Obviously I would rather Rafa stays but hammering Ashley is far more important than Rafa Benitez

Yeah I don't get all this fawning over him anymore. He has put up with 2 monumental shaftings last 2 summers. If he was that unhappy he would have left. He is just keeping fans content and any real pressure off Ashley in my oppinion I'm sure you would be happy if Rafa left, unfortunately I think Ashley would be as well. No doubt he'd give his right arm to have a Pardew or McClaren to lick his ring piece in public rather than have Rafa taking veiled digs. Veiled digs are nowt. Either come out and say it how it is and leave or he just puts up with it for some weird reason till may. I so wish it turned out different for him here and this is in no way his fault obviously but he dosent need this at all now and the only person benefitting from him staying is Ashley You didn’t answer the question What question?

We go again Hennessey Alexander Arnold Mendy Alonso Mane Neves Mkhitaryan Hazard Richarlison Aubameyang Aguero

Yeah I agree as long as the fans doing there part involve constant anti Ashley chants inside the ground too

That's it there is just no hope it's nowt to do with league finishes. I went home and away in the championship and last season yet I've turned down a free ticket for Sunday and the Arsenal game as it's just gone back to the dark old days of 2014 now

Exactly this

Barely 3 pages for a match like this just about sums it all up

Yeah it's just massive frustration getting home on a bank holiday weekend when I would usually be out Sunday seeing mates and going to the match but I feel nothing for it other than sheer hate for Ashley. Just needed an outlet to vent. Oh yeah i agree none of it is his fault and with a normal owner we would be in for special times. I feel for Rafa more than anything he dosent need or deserve this but I just think him being here keeps a large amount of our support blind to Ashley. I fear if/when he goes next summer that nothing really happens. If that's the case then we are done for if we aren't already

Yes three valid points so what is going to happen next summer if/when he goes then? Is that the end game? Do people expect all out war then on Ashley? Just feels like we are waiting for next May for whatever is going to happen to happen. That's why I can't get any interest at all in games at the moment

Yeah but him staying is giving Ashley a far far easier ride than he would get if Rafa walked. If he is staying till may he needs to come out an say more against Ashley fuck these little veil digs

More fool him signing a contract like that knowing full well what Ashley is like. So it's just a dead season till he slopes off then this all dies down next summer then repeat. I'm sorry I loved Rafa an that but this is about way more than him now. He won't be here much longer anyhow it's Ashley out at all costs for the sake of the club

Don't rain on our parade. ;D Im all behind this but i also agree keeping it out of the stadium is a must sadley, this season is gonna be a tough slog and the players dont need anymore negative vibes. Its easy to say blast it out everywhere but ashley is rearly at SJP anyhow, remember this is about ashley and SD not newcastle utd as it was That said its a shame it dosent spread to other SD shops blocking one shop for half an hour isnt gonna put much of a dent in his pocket 12-15 shops however Just my thoughts on the matter #IfRafaGoesWeGo #Nufc4life #HWTL What difference does it make? The club is bigger than Rafa or anyone. Fuck Rafa fuck the pl getting Ashley out is the only thing that matters whatever it takes

Yeah I don't get all this fawning over him anymore. He has put up with 2 monumental shaftings last 2 summers. If he was that unhappy he would have left. He is just keeping fans content and any real pressure off Ashley in my oppinion I'm sure you would be happy if Rafa left, unfortunately I think Ashley would be as well.

Yeah I don't get all this fawning over him anymore. He has put up with 2 monumental shaftings last 2 summers. If he was that unhappy he would have left. He is just keeping fans content and any real pressure off Ashley in my oppinion Would you pay your employer to leave your job? Why would he sign a contract like that knowing what Ashley is like? He dosent seem too unhappy with what is going on to me. I used to love him but I just don't know why he has put up with all this and why he isn't coming out and saying more. Like I've said him still been here keeps most our fans placated and stops any pressure on Ashley. He has nothing to achieve here and will know he's off in May, we all agree on here it's a dead season so why not leave now, dish all the dirt on Ashley to wake our zombies up and start war

Yeah I don't get all this fawning over him anymore. He has put up with 2 monumental shaftings last 2 summers. If he was that unhappy he would have left. He is just keeping fans content and any real pressure off Ashley in my oppinion

Fuck off man he's no better than wise bishop etc now

Cheers and fair play to you top work

Zero appetite for this. Bank holiday Sunday on sky I would be either going up home for it or find somewhere to watch it down here but doubt I will even watch it now in this current state we are in

I suspect that will come with time. At present though there is a conscious effort to ensure we get behind Rafa and the lads as ultimately, this could be the last season we enjoy for a while and quite frankly Rafa and his team deserve not to have the shit around the game. There may be pre/post match protests though so we're open to ideas for us to promote. Ultimately, if there is a significant appetite for any reasonable protest though I suspect The Magpie Group will back it as we want the fan base to be United... There will be nothing enjoyable about this season though. There is nothing to lose protesting in the ground. Rafa will still be here next season and any real protests will never get going as a result. It needs taking to the max now. Getting Ashley out is far more important than anything else now

One in a row marra
