Guest firetotheworks Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Doesn't fill me with confidence regarding Rafa that statement 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?

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 NUFC released this totally meaningless statement on Wednesday evening, credited to Lee Charnley: "Tonight we are devastated at our relegation from the Premier League, as I know every single person connected to this football club will be. "I want to thank all of the fans for the support you have shown for the club you love throughout the season, in spite of this massive disappointment and under-achievement. "Your support throughout has been magnificent, but I want to pay particular thanks for the incredible backing you have given to Rafa and the team during the latter part of the season. Nothing more could be asked of you and I am truly sorry we have not given you the outcome you deserve. You've hit the nail on the head there, we certainly don't deserve to suffer because a jumped-up office boy perpetually fails to do his job, abetted by a London PR bluffer with zero football knowledge. How about taking responsibility for employing Steve McClaren, taking responsibility for dithering over sacking him and taking responsibility for the delay in appointing Rafa Benitez, Lee? An outcome that sees you losing your job would be more than deserving.... "I also want to thank every single member of staff here. This club is their livelihood, but they are fans too. To go through the threat of relegation last season and then to suffer a worse fate this time around has been very hard for them. I know that each and every one of them has done whatever they could to help us out of the situation we now find ourselves in. And after spunking millions of pounds on unplayable idiots at the behest of certain agents, you'll now proceed to sack people whose loyalty to the club is routinely exploited as they work year in year out for little or no increase on their derisory wages. "We know that supporters want to know what the future holds and will want to hear more from us as soon as possible. The process of scrutinising what went wrong and planning for what is to come has already begun. Right now, of course, Rafa and the team must prepare for the final game of the season but after that, please rest assured we will communicate more fully with supporters." The only communication required is that of your departure and that the owner has sold up and gone. Everything else is irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You so obviously need exactly the same thing we do - to be razed to the fucking ground and started again. Hopefully both clubs will get a purging of these time serving cunts who don't fucking get it. It should be nigh on impossible to fail to keep clubs like Newcastle and Villa in the top flight, do the minimum and take the big television money. It should be almost impossible to do this in a season where we've just seen the likes of Bournemouth and Watford get promoted and survive. That's the damning thing about these people - their performance, their total lack of understanding, their total inability to do their fucking jobs, it is right there, for all to see, but they continue to survive.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Tonight we are devastated at our relegation from the Premier League, as I know every single person connected to this football club will be. I want to thank all of the fans for the support you have shown for the Club you love throughout the season, in spite of this massive disappointment and underachievement. Your support throughout has been magnificent, but I want to pay particular thanks for the incredible backing you have given to Rafa and the team during the latter part of the season. Nothing more could be asked of you and I am truly sorry we have not given you the outcome you deserve. I also want to thank every single member of staff here.

Right now, of course, Rafa and the team must prepare for the final game of the season but after that, please rest assured we will communicate more fully with supporters. Of course. It's a big one! About £400k difference in prize money, biggest game in the club's recent history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 By the time the final whistle goes on Sunday there's every chance the gap will be 7 points. If you're 7 points short after having spaffed 80 million then you've got to lose your job? Surely to God even Ashley will look at that and think "nah, that's fucking rank, off you pop".
