wormy Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I felt so vindicated telling everyone to stick money on QPR going down this year. What a hair island of a prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I reckon he's a fine manager when the pressure is off. Just not good enough for the top jobs or high pressure situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 He tried to play good football when he first arrived at Newcastle. Just bottled it and lost the plot because we kept losing. Think he’s probably a decent manager, but I do find ‘destroy and exit’ on Athletico Mince hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Must have one of the worst win percentages of any NUFC manager bar Carver. Utter fraud. Had the best squad that we’ve had since the Remy/Cabaye year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If Rafa had that squad from the start of the season we’d have been top half at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Yep, could see that with our form in the run in. Still stand by this. We played some okay stuff in patches in some games under him, but he told us how brilliant things were in post match interviews even though relegation was staring us in the face for months. Should've gone after the Chelsea mauling. Probably would've stayed up if he had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His version of good football was Vurnon Anita and the two centre halves passing the ball between themselves. Tbf if we had someone decent instead of Anita there it could have worked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Three class clips to remember him by though. The one with the phone in the directors box, the one where he’s holding De Jong’s arm shouting at Sissoko to walk, and the one where he’s in the centre-circle all smiling and happy trying to get someone to come out, and they don’t.

At least with JFK, we knew he was mental, heck even he himself knew he was mental. Schteev was that senile uncle who has no idea he's walking around with his pants down.

Collage Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 He was too committed to possession for possession sake imo. Really slow transitions, a lot of backward stuff. I wasn't a fan Yep. It looked better than Pardew's anti-football but the results were even worse, amazingly enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Flashback. I don't remember despising McClaren as much as Bruce. Does anyone recall what made Ashley pull the trigger? The points we have now are roughly the same I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few things, Rafa was available and approached the club, the atmosphere and manner of the defeat to Bournemouth, our general performances and results in the league and the fact that we were 19th(?) when he was sacked.

Lush Vlad Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Our performances are far worse than I remember from when McClaren got sacked. Plus we have been consistently shit for quite some time. The fact that from what local journos are saying. Ashley and Co think all is well because we’re not yet in the bottom 3, like we were back in 2016. Is just absolutely bonkers. It says everything you need to know about the people running this club. Not learned anything from previous mistakes and lacking any foresight to see where this is heading.

Sho Time Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't think our performances are as bad (not lately, anyway, West Brom aside) but it's irrelevant. We can't get any points on the board. We are definitely fucked - our best option is to sack Bruce just for the bounce at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one person making the decisions and everyone else just goes along with it, too scared to tell him he's wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
