Guest reefatoon Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It really is hilarious. Trying the mind games but just making himself look a fucking idiot. While our totally dignified manager sits quietly and gets on with the job in hand. The difference in class is there to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 PFM is rattled isn't he? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3570242/Rafa-Benitez-blame-Newcastle-injuries-claims-rival-Sam-Allardyce.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 The plot has definitely been lost. He's lost the plot, the sub-plot, the underlying narrative, the main character arc, the denouement, the credits, the end-credit bit, the tickets and the popcorn. He and the chicken town nonces are such a perfect fit. Stay up or go down, I wish them a long and tedious marriage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nattfare Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 He's obsessed with them dirty forrins, isn't he? Calling foreign players (including his own) mercenaries and now players get injured because because of foreign training methods. His mantra during his time here was blaming everything on injuries... is he trying to reach John Carver level on trying to utter as much stupidity as possible? It's a bit funny with the 'victims' they bring up to Rafa's training regime too. Taylor who breaks if it is windy outside, Janmaat who has been trained to punch walls at any given moment and Coloccini who was already injured by the time Benitez was hired I think.

gjohnson Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Seem to recall our injury record under him being pretty atrocious too. In fact we always seem to have one of the worst injury records pretty much every season, which suggests that its something else (Derek Wright?) and not really the manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's only Newcastle players/manager that look composed and focused at the moment, the other two seem much more rattled. Not that it necessarily means anything, but I suppose it's a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I never understood how that kind of "mind games" could ever effect a modern manager. You read it, you go "meh", you carry on. It's not like the subject of the rant [Rafa, in this case] will go "Oh, there's a point. Think I'll change my whole training technique". All FS is doing is showing his own players that he's having a mental breakdown. If I was Rafa I would look at the comments and think "1 - 0". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 'Mind games' is another bluster term for just sniping at someone. There's no fencing of rapier wits and intellects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 They'll still get about £80m no? You mean if they go down?, they'd get up to £87m spread over three seasons: 2016-17 - £40 million 2017-18 - £33 million 2018-19 - £14 million But they got £70m last season alone and still managed to lose £25.5m. EDIT: Thought the money was spread evenly per season but apparently not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Do they not get a payment at the end of this season and then the following three payments are parachute payments ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 All teams currently in the Premiership (including Aston Villa and whichever other two teams get relegated) get paid their share of the TV money at the end of the season. Parachute payments are completely separate - These two articles attempt to explain it: - http://www.danielgeey.com/premier-league-parachute-payments-explained/ http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9873622/parachute-payments-overhauled-for-promoted-premier-league-clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
