Stifler Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Good read that. It shows that Rafa is not only changing things for the team but he's making the whole a club more of a community club again, something that is once again ours. Very few clubs are like this these days, Man City are struggling to stay like that (one of the reasons why they have built the new campus), Everton claim to be the people's club. Us, well finally we maybe getting back to that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 This man is our manager and I thank him immensely for giving us our club back and making us believe and be proud again! He has galvanised and lifted the whole city! He is absolutely fucking brilliant! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benitez, who has instructed his staff to read a book about the period, has followed the lead." The very book written by the author of this article.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 “It depends what you want to sell. Some clubs are like Hollywood,” he said on Friday. "You can see everything, there’s a marquee, but after that there’s nothing.” So true too.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 "Some clubs are like hollywood" is a great quote like. For Rafa to basically choose Newcastle United, a man of his expertise, credibility and above all else integrity says a lot about our shitty club to be honest. Its says Newcastle United is something a bit special. If only the fucking owner realized that. I love the bloke me, he is another KK, another Sir Bobby. More so KK because he believes this club even under Ashley can be something much bigger. He's here for the same reasons KK came here for, but without the Geordie link. He basically gets it, gets us and is one of us. We could lose and lose heavily, we could remain in the Championship... with Rafa in charge however, I for one will never question him beyond daft things like team selection or tactics. He has my 100% trust just as KK did and Sir Bobby. They may make mistakes, may pick players I wouldn't and will lose games, but you trust them all the same.

Kanj Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Aye agree HTT. He's cut from that same cloth in my opinion. Instant connection and relationship built and continued to be nurtured.

I trust him 100% and initial knee jerks aside when I may not agree with a player or tactic. That's it with me, I know he will play Dummet more than he should be played for example and his football isn't the best either, its totally different to KK's, but I trust the man 100%. Ashley has basically got a get out of jail free card in Rafa. No Rafa and the house burns down, ST sales would be below 20K and attendances not much more than that. Rafa on board and everyone is buzzing, myself included. I've always said the manager is the main man, he sets the agenda regardless of club and resources. KK as manager and its about winning titles. Pardew and its about staying up. Pardew was manager of NUFC and actually finished 5th. A year later and we should be celebrating the fact we didn't qualify for Europe and to have a party at home to Arsenal for avoiding relegation. KK finishes 5th and its a failure. Rafa is of the same cloth as you said. If Ashley doesn't f*** things up this could be quite the ride! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Still cannot believe that we have this gadgie as our manager Imagine if we had a decent ownership to go hand in hand then the sky really would be the limit. Its just a shame that we have to do a year in the championship though but at least the tide for us is turning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
