Kanj Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'd make the 90 minutes about thanking Rafa and chanting his name the entire time even if we already are relegated. People calling it cringeworthy or desperate and frowning on it are mad; we're in the the most desperate if situations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I hope he stays away, we are down now and I hope we crash and burn. With Rafa that wont happen. Ashley's time is up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 You go one way or another man. A week ago you wanted us up now you want to burn it no matter what. I'm of the mindset that if Rafa goes I'm basically in the burning it all down camp. But if he stays I'll be backing it and him full on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinho lad Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Who authorised Paul Dummett's contract extension? Why would Rafa do that if he then planned to leave? Dummett still had a year to run on his contract so it's not like it couldn't have been sorted at the end of the season. A possible indication that Rafa might stay? If our relegation is confirmed on Wednesday I hope NUFC/Rafa make a quick announcement on whether he is staying or not. Rafa staying would give everyone a huge lift and we'd almost be going into the Championship on a positive. Graham Carr? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The professionalism, dignity, passion and knowledge of the game we all crave. Rafa could well become an iconic figure for NUFC for centuries to come if the club had a clue.

Kanj Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Man you have to be shrewd. The minute Rafa was let go at Madrid you get on the phone and see if he'd any any interest in taking over your club (and this goes to any football chairman who isn't all married to their manager). Gotta be opportunistic. Charnley and co are insanely daft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I hope he stays away, we are down now and I hope we crash and burn. With Rafa that wont happen. Ashley's time is up. If Rafa stays, then essentially we'll have gotten the owner to do what he should have done in the first place, i.e. hire the very best person to run the club possible. Why would you prefer to throw that in the bin and hope some new owner might arrive at the same place somewhere down the line? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Newcastle United with Rafa Benitez in charge could potentially smash the Championship, go unbeaten and have a decent cup run.

afar Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 This was taken from NUFC.com's match report, and it is spot on, vital that this happens, either way we need to plan for next season: "If nothing else, the Rafa situation needs resolving quickly so that the reconstruction can begin - the consequences of inaction this season are clear.

Magpie Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I keep getting asked if I think he'll stay and my immediate response is 'not a hope'.

Varadi Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Anything positive will get announced before the spurs game, anything negative will be announced just after and if it's really bad nothing at all will be said It'll be like last time, they'll just say absolutely fucking nothing, Rafa will leave when they won't return his calls, any players we get offers for will be off and we'll meander aimlessly into the Championship season. Last relegation they didn't even confirm Hughton had the job permanently until the end of October ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Love Rafa. But I think he got it wrong on Saturday. I said before the match. I was worried about our tactics. As we have been letting other teams have a lot of the ball and playing on the counter. He's made us hard to beat and it's worked really well. However, against a team that has no interest in actually trying. That was never going to work. We wasted 45 minutes, where we just tried to keep it tight and where it seemed like we just wanted to match Villa. By match them, I mean do as little as them and don't actually worry about attacking. Wijnaldum should have been taken off/moved centrally, earlier. Tiote was IMO, our best player. Would have left him on over that fraud Colback. Oh and I wouldn't have even bothered letting Cisse come out for the second half. He was pathetic, again. Mitro is hardly much better, mind. Still, the damage was done long before Rafa. So it's hard to put too much blame on him. If you can't beat Villa home or away, you deserve to go down. They are one of the worst teams I have ever had the misfortune of watching live. Considering I've watched a lot of NUFC over the years. That's a pretty damning indictment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 A part of me wants the mackems to win on Wednesday, meaning we'll go into the Spurs game with no tension, and the disappointment would have happened days earlier. The fans can then make it all about Rafa. Desperately hope he stays on. I genuinely think he'd consider it. For me, the worry isn't Rafa's decision, it's Ashley/Charnley dragging their heels about any potential deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I sort of agree that Rafa got his tactics wrong for the Aston Villa game but then again, our attacking players are so poor even if we'd went for it from the start it's no guarantee that we would have scored. As an example, Sissoko has scored one goal all season. Our cutting edge is pretty much blunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
