AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I mean, they already got him to come here, so presumably he was happy with the terms? The only difference now is the division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I mean, they already got him to come here, so presumably he was happy with the terms? The only difference now is the division. Aye, but for all we know the biggest term was 'if we go down you can leave straight away'. Just cant see him staying, really wish he will but I cant see it.

midds Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I mean, they already got him to come here, so presumably he was happy with the terms? The only difference now is the division. Can not hope he feels he's just starting to get his teeth int the job and wants to see it through. If he's thinking of his career then he'll surely move on but if he's caught the bug then hopefully he'll want to see it through. I'm more worried that our cunts will be looking to sever things tbh.

Ketsbaia Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Surely they know the full-on riot set to occur if they activate the clause. And yet that won't stop them. I'm still 50/50 on whether he'll stay - I definitely think there's a scenario where he's willing to, it's just a matter of how much the board have learnt. Bringing him in originally was the first time they acknowledged that managers are important. Then we started winning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 He's the only hope that we have left under this regime, and that's really sad. I hope he calls their bluff and announces his intentions, before Spurs. The club will be wanting that to be the case, as they won't want any dissent in the stands, on Sunday. However if social media tonight is a barometer - that now looks inevitable. There will hopefully be a lot of anger, directed at the owner. board and the players that have pissed us around.

Didn't they scrap the structure when Rafa was appointed? They made a pretty big deal out of Rafa being appointed manager and not head coach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Aye, but for all we know the biggest term was 'if we go down you can leave straight away'. Just cant see him staying, really wish he will but I cant see it. He had no connection with us before he came, that has changed and he's been warmly received and I think he'll see that as a massive plus. I don't know if he needs to feel loved by fans but I do know it will make him feel better. I think he's likely to listen to what we have to say and I think he could stay.

sbnufc Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 In years to come he'll have "relegated Newcastle" on his CV.

Yorkie Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 It's a point that I hadn't thought about and it might actually have a modicum of plausibility. That being said, his stock won't have been lowered that much and he's bound to get better offers. He's one of the few managers in the Premier League whose level of single-mindedness actually matches his talent. You can't be as decorated as he is without knowing precisely what is going to be best for you. Pissing around at our dogshit club, without any assurances that we've got a shot at an immediate return, won't be what Rafa sees as his best option. Regardless of whether or not he's 'caught the bug' or however you want to put it. I just hope it's confirmed shortly after Spurs. Can't be fucked with the boredom of waiting for the inevitable; plus we've no time to waste if we're going to make a fist of it next year. Aye, we'll be there or thereabouts, but there's a massive squad turnaround to occur and a new manager to organise things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 What if he didn't get us promoted? I know it's not likely he wouldn't, but nothing is guaranteed in life and with the regime we have. That would be such a larger blight than "unable to save turd club circling the bowl with 10 games left" I can see him not wanting to risk it. Farewell Rafa.

Shak Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You're a Newcastle fan though, Deuce. Would you take on the Villa job using the same logic? Club with great history that's been ruined in recent years. Newcastle only seems a wonderful idea to us because we're fans. Mostly it's a shit club with poor prospects.
