TRon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Also, whether our club is "great" is pretty fucking subjective. Lots of people were using that same argument as to why Rafa would never stay here. I'd wait until we had more than just rumour to make a call on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Yes, as I said, it is subjective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I hope he stays and I think he will but I do wonder now Woy has gone whether he will be fearing for his England career. Hodgson rated him and said playing in the Championship was not a bar to him being called up. The new manager might have other thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I can see this happening unfortunately. I think we have to remember that we Newcastle United fans that had to put up with Pardew for years may have a different view on him than the football world. FFS the bloke in the running for the England job, he's been able to con a lot of people into thinking he's a decent manager for a long time. If they've triggered the clause and met Townsend's demands (salary and guaranteed play time) then I would be shocked if he stayed, as I would be with virtually any other team from the PL that came in for him. Playing in the top division trumps everything even Rafa. I don't know if people recall we were top of the league in the championship and chasing Victor Moses, looked like we had him in the bag in January only for the might of PL side Wigan Athletic to start showing an interest and we suddenly had no chance. We have to get used to this and not think that Rafa is capable of miracles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 We should be offering him a new contract without the release clause. Either commit or go, but don't stay in limbo for the next two months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I know you can't begrudge him a PL move, but Crystal Palace? And Pardew? It only hurts because it's them, I think they're one of the few PL clubs you can easily turn down in favour of us in the Championship. I hope Rafa can work his magic, because we'll lose a good player and he'll soon be Pardewed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 It's potentially an awful move from him like, history suggests Palace will be awful next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Palace? Crazy move if he takes that. Surely he isn't that desperate to play in the PL. If he is worrying about England too, the next tournament is 2 years away, plenty time for him to get back in the top division and make an impact. Bide your time Townsend lad, it will benefit you in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 If he leaves Newcastle and Rafa for Palace and Pardew i seriously hope he breaks his leg in his first training session. And people wonder why NUFC fans are laughed at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Footballers' careers are short. He's good enough to play in the PL and, as a professional athlete, I'd like to think he'd want to spend as much time as possible playing at the top level. I can't begrudge him if wants to move and wish him well if he does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Man, that's a real big shame. I fully believe he'd go ahead and bang in 15+ goals next season and wreck the Championship. However, having said that - will always rate the fella but not happy he's potentially going to Palace. f*** Pardew. He'll stagnate in development under Pardew and be made a scapegoat when things go wrong for Pardew. So are they going to run with Bolaise, Zaha and Andros as their 3 behind the central striker?
