Why is it always 'it' with us? That he doesn't use the term 'we' speaks volumes.  He has zero affiliation with us.

 

Just f*** off, you absolute shithouse.

 

So true, its like one of us winning the lottery and buying Hereford (miles away, no history with the club, don't live in the area, no affiliation at all) and then pissing them about for a couple of years, getting loads of stick and then just saying "It costs me nowt to run so just leave it" untill he gets an offer of more than what he paid he's here for ever.

Rafa will walk at the end of the window.

ZzzZZZzzzZZZ

 

If he has any sense he would walk now just like keegan did as there is not one slight chance the club will be anything but a yo yo club with this fat cunt in charge. This team is going to struggle like hell to stay up and Rafa knows this and why the reason he is venting his frustration. Yet in one fell swoop Ashley has come out to give his usual shit and try to put the manager in his place. Rafa' reputation is still in tact and if he is unable to do the job to his potential then he will be off as any other manager wanting to manage at the top of their level would also. He loves the fans but if he is not allowed to do the job to his best he will be away probably sooner than later and no Newcastle fan would give him stick for doing that either. He will still be able to have a high quality of clubs to go to.

Immediately the board reverts back to match-going fans are scum.

 

Ashley is a fucking joke like. Man City...Watford would be nice lad.

 

No they don't. We're talking specifically about fans who don't like anyone kicking up a fuss when things are clearly fucked up.

Suppose this from May 2015 is out of the window now as well?  Spent a bit of money in 15/16 but that's all over with now.

 

"We have got the club on a very sound financial footing, so we are able to spend and punch above our weight thanks to the current financial situation the club finds itself in.

 

"We may have the cart, financially, but we now need to bolt the horse on, and we are going to."

 

Intentions for the future? "To definitely win something and, by the way, I won't be selling (the club) until I do.

 

"(The club is not for sale) at any price. And when I say 'win something', if we ever get into a position of being in a Champions League place, that also counts as winning something.

 

"From this day forward we will be making our own luck."

No-one is scum mate...bar that twat Curry. Seems where footballs concerned though logic and zero tolerance go out the window.

Clearly we need to be sold as soon as possible, it's getting to the point where it is the only realistic hope we have of hanging onto Rafa and therefore having a team we can enjoy getting behind. If things remain as they are with the owner, Rafa may not see out the season.

Okay, in short, that's my extremely brief summary of in and outs since 2015/2016:

 

2015/2016: 5m profits

Drop in revenue according to latest account: 30m loss

Transfer in and out last summer: 30m profits per wiki

Transfer in and out this summer so far: 12m loss excluding wage differences

 

Net balance: 7m loss before counting in this season' season ticket sales, offset by increase in wages

 

So it does sounds like the bank balance is 0, I.e. Just breakeven if no additional funds from Ashley personally.

Why would Rafa have even stayed under those conditions unless he was lied to about the level of backing he'd be receiving when promoted? He's not going to be content with the cold comfort of mid-table safety.

 

If you're not prepared to back someone with ambition don't hire them in the first place.

Or just be honest in the first place and explain the constraints

If you take that interview in isolation then it really is a 'he's not said a lot wrong there' for outsiders......But for us are we to forget the last 9 years, the treatment of KK, Joe Kinnear twice, the naming of the ground, Dennis Wise, the stadium expansion sabotage, the Sports Direct shit everywhere in the ground, not spending anything for years, Derek Llambias, the utter cunt Pardew.....the list goes on.

 

Get to fuck, you fat cunt.
