Ben Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I think he will start building a squad as soon as next week, Newcastle might get raided for a few. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 4 hours ago, Dokko said: Thought he was paid £14-16m a year there compared to the £5-6m here? It was reported to be around £13m a year. Great project though. 4 hours ago, joeyt said: He was given pretty much a blank cheque to develop a club in a rising league. I'm not doubting money would have been a factor but it still sounds like a challenge which Rafa would have enjoyed. Obviously Covid and the new league restrictions probably altered that project to what he hoped A rising league? It’s not. It’s the pits and still is despite years of blank chequebooks. The only players and managers going there are mercenaries looking for their final/biggest payday. The quality of football is minging and there’s a good reason most don’t last long there. As others have said, the MLS is better. 4 hours ago, Yorkie said: Will have to double check but I think quite a bit has happened in the world since he took the Dalian job. What’s that got to do with taking the job? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless I've read it wrong, you were doubting his motivation to find jobs based on easy access to his family, on account of him moving to China in 2019. I'm saying that, after everything that has transpired since then, that motivation may have only just emerged. Not that I'm really sure what the wider argument is here. He's gone to Everton and is therefore disloyal/a mercenary/isn't as grounded in certain principles as we perhaps thought? I don't see any evidence of that personally. I see a man affected by circumstance who's ready to manage a PL club that meets his ambitions. The fact it's a stone's throw from home is just a massive bonus. As for the China thing; ironically I think you could use everything you've said there to actually prove the exact thing you're trying to dispute.

I was talking about the fact he took the NUFC job as he wanted to remain closer to his family and his next job was halfway across the world. The pandemic came after that, the reported motivation to being close to home was when he joined us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was clearly a nutter for wanting to come here but I didn't hold it against him. The hopelessness of the situation under Ashley hadn't been proven beyond all doubt at that point.

RS Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Got to thank him for an oasis of “normality”for 2 years in an era of absolute dogshittery under Mike Ashley. What an odious cunt he really is. He’ll pull trees up at Everton. I’m jealous as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Closer to home, a top wage, a big budget to go and win something. It was an easy decision to make. But that’s it now. It’s done. Time to detach and move on. This is basically your wife/girlfriend whoever, someone you’re into, and they leave you to go off with these two for a 12 month orgy Just imagine it. Now would ever go near her again knowing what she had done? That’s Rafa at Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
