Rafael Benitez

[TRon]

I'll be honest like, I thought he'd have got something out of this shower by now. Rafa is a fairly defensive manager by nature though and to hand him a squad this bad defensively was probably never going to work. Typically this squad is arguably more suited to a Keegan type as we need to start worrying the other team more. There's no chance of clean sheets like.

 

Fuck it. Everything burns.

Problem is that this squad are as bad at attacking and scoring goals as they are at defending and conceding goals. On paper we have a lot of attacking players. Sissoko has played every game bar one but he has scored no goals. He makes Jonas look prolific. Gini scored most of his goals in one game. He hasn't scored away from home. None of our strikers are regular goal scorers. Blunt in attack and leaky in defence. Our central midfielders are shite too.

 

Well this is certainly a good point. Having a leaky defence, pansy midfield and strikers who don't score may well have contributed to the disastrous season we are having.

[Wullie]

Benitez is a very good manager imo, he's won pots and cups we'll never even imagine, but he can't coach courage, he can't coach pride and the poor bloke is on a hiding to nothing. The problem runs deeper than the manager or the coaches or even the players. The entire ethos of the club is fucked beyond all repair, this guy is only now seeing the true extent of the problem and I bet he can't wait to get the fuck out of it. The club is diseased and rotten, it's affected every single individual representing Newcastle at every level and it needs to be gutted. Fans need to be strong and stay away, boycott the club completely - tickets, shirts, sponsors, the lot, starve the fat cunt out, see it drop like a stone until the day he fucks off. 

 

We'll never get our club back until he decides we're not worth the bother, may take 2 years may take 10, personally don't give a fuck. Forcing this horrible cretin out of the club is the best action you can possibly do as a Newcastle United fan. Stop going, stop buying, support the club by driving him out. 

 

A boycott (not that it'll work) becomes oh so more effective in the Championship too without the TV money propping up the finances.

 

Hugely so.

[Leazes_End_Mag]

Not having a go or trying to criticise but his failure to see Taylor as anything less than a absolute cripple is a tad upsetting.

[Darth Crooks]

It'll be a harder sell next year as people will see getting behind tha teem even more important and winning ways potentially a bigger deal next year in a bid to get us back to our glorious PL campaigns.

There'll be balloon payments to finance our next campaign, not to mention we have enough assets already here to raise more than enough money to spend our way out of the championship. We went through all this last time we got relegated. You guys are hoping that Ashley will be so tight arsed he will shoot himself in the foot, I think he'll do whatever it takes to get us back in the premier first time of asking. Not because he cares about Newcastle, but because he wants to protect his spawny brand.

Throwing money at the problem won't make it go away though, this is far deeper than that. Ashley allowed Charnley and Carr to spaff £80m on this squad and we look as bad as we ever have. Unless he has a complete change of policy and fundamentally alters the very foundations of the club then this wank that we're all seeing every week will continue.

It's a massive dent no matter what he does. The % of income that is fan affected goes up massively when we go down.

He's already had a massive change of policy, all of a sudden throwing money at players and managers to try and stay in the premier. I suspect he'll tighten his belt somewhat, but we are cash rich anyway. He can afford to spend his way out. He's not going to be up against Abramovic or the Man City Sheikhs down there. The only real hope of him leaving is that he fucks up with the next managerial appointment if Rafa leaves. Again though, it looks like he's already changed direction on his former policy.

...and it hasn't worked mate.

 

There's merit in what you're saying and I'm not being a dick but money won't solve this problem imo. We'll be in for a battle every single week next season, we'll be the scalp they all want and quite frankly this shower of shit don't give a solitary fuck and that's the major difference between these cunts and 09/10 - at least that lot cared, this current lot don't possess a spine between them. 

[Minhosa]

The problem being he's going up against football teams.

 

Players that, broadly, want to be in each others company. Want to compete. Want to be there. Whereever there is.

 

Over 80% of our cunts have been sold NUFC using their ability to earn more money at other employers than here ffs.

 

We're morally bankrupt, culturally incurable under MA.

 

You can't turn around behaviours overnight.

 

There is absolutely no coincidence that a team containing Sissoko, Gini, Janmaat, Cisse, Tiote etc is going down. They're all self-centred shites, interested only in number one.

 

Fuck the lot of them and the poisonous atmosphere created by the fat cunt.

[TRon]

The clubs money. Jesus man.

 

Yes it's the clubs money, but we'll still have more of it to spend than other clubs. At the end of the day it's his money that he's worried about and I don't think he'll give it up lightly. Maybe Rangers promotion to the big time is our best hope.

You're right. But what these idiots don't realise is that's the exact attitude that will help them sink when they do move on. Seems to happen to 90% of our sold players. And it'll happen to this lot.

 

Yeah - agreed. We're culturally fucked and his grubby fat mitts are all over it.

I heard all of this the last time we went down and then we won promotion in a canter. So did Sunderland when they were last relegated. Ashley will do all that it takes to protect his brand. He might not spend his own money but as a club we'll have more to spend than any other in that league.

Why would Rangers affect the situation in the slightest?

[quayside]

Clearly one of the best managers around, track record Champs League winner etc....But if any of his recent predecessors had picked some of those starting line ups they would have rightly "taken some stick". Surely it is pretty obvious that Lascelles on current form is worth a start. Playing Ginio as a holding midfielder (if he must play at all given his recent lack of anything) is surely not right on any level. Don't see anything Rapper has done that has moved us forward - so do I conclude that we are sh1t and you cannot polish a turd or RB does not have the transforming powers of someone like Nigel Pearson 

 

6 games to go - time to turn it but those remaining fixtures man....

 

 

 

[Wullie]

When has Nigel Pearson ever transformed a team?

 

His Leicester side were bottom for about 33 weeks then won a few games and stayed up. Bryan Robson did that at West Brom. I don't know where this idea, now apparently accepted wisdom, has come from that he's some sort of expert at coming in and saving teams from relegation. The BBC are absolutely obsessed with the maniac and how good he apparently is at that. He's got less experience in doing that than Tim Sherwood and Paulo di Canio.

You can buy character in that league. We'll be in a better situation than most in that regard.

Keep reading around as if Nigel Pearson is winston fucking wolf.

[quayside]

Wullie, take your point. But the team he was managing went from almost certain relegation to survivors somehow. A transformation took place. To continue the debate - have you seen anything since RB came in that you like so far?

Rangers are more likely to offer Ashley's SD brand a cheap route to route to CL football than we ever will be. If that happens maybe he'll decide Newcastle is expendable.

I've said many times this year that I think the team/club is irreparably broken under Ashley, and it has been that way since Pardew was here, which is why I hold no ill will towards McClaren. Don't think Rafa knew what he was walking into.

 

I'm not sure there was that much transformation where Leicester were concerned. It was a running joke for a while that they were playing consistently well but not getting results, then they went on a run of a few games where they did get them. It's worlds apart from this sorry bunch - they've been total shit since 2012, even when they were a completely different group of players - hence my view that the whole thing is fucked.

 

I said in midweek that Rafa is on a hiding to nothing as far as selection goes. I disagree with a few of the selections he's made, leaving Mitrovic out last week for example, but today Mitrovic offered nothing at all. Taylor shouldn't be playing, but Lascelles is hardly proven quality and has made his share of cock-ups in his short career here. Whoever he picks from the entire squad is ultimately going to be shite and we all know it.

You're living in a dream world if you think CL games involving Rangers will get more eyes on his company than an average Premier League game, not least because CL advertising rules would stop it happening anyway.

[colinmk]

Rangers want absolutely nothing to do with the cunt. It's a legal battle over money, Ashley has no future there.
