The College Dropout Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Rafa was like that with most players, you'd often see him laughing with players on the training pitch. He's still not an arm around the shoulder man though. What NUFC don't have, and we did, were local players who thought they deserved to be told continually how good they were (ala, Houllier). You'd probably have a problem if Shearer was still there. You've seen it for yourself now anyway, when the players have played well Rafa will tell them where they went wrong, ever the perfectionist. It's early days yet, hopefully your players will still feel the same two years down the line. Players like Mascherano, Hamman, Reina, Luis Garcia, and others, all loved Rafa. Even Xabi Alonso loved Rafa until Rafa tried to sell him. Aye it;s the johnny big bollocks he struggles with sometimes. If it gets to a stage where we have genuine world class players at the club and performing for us - he'll have succeeded anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 The fact he's a top level manager and not an absolute cunt is something of a miracle really. Honestly can't think of another manager I would swap him for at the moment. Considering my first tattoo TBH. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 funny seeing that post from paully, i thought similar when i was watching the goals last night and hearing about the attendance...we've somehow contrived to get the right manager for our club at the exact time we needed him wouldn't swap him for anyone else because i'm not convinced anyone else could overhaul the entire club and culture around it like he is atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That mentalist who wears the "JESUS CHRIST SAVES GOD IS GREAT" sandwich board outside the ground was handing out leaflets last night, he tried to give one to this auld bloke and he just shook his head and said "ahhh, we've got Rafa man" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

louistoon Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Top class manager and top class bloke! I wouldn't swap him for anybody! He totally gets it and I hope he's here until he retires because if he is then we will definitely have ended our ridiculous trophy drought! I have heard from a reliable source that he is really enjoying life in general up here and, perhaps equally importantly, his wife is growing fond of the area too. They live in Merseyside? Yeah. But he does have a house up here (rented) and must be allowing her to visit occasionally by all accounts 'allowing her' aye what the fuck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a house in Jesmond now as well. With his daughter at Durham University the family spends a fair bit of time up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Pardew just think the whole "look at how much money they've spent" is a bit tiring. That post was nothing against you.

Stifler Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Aye we have spent a bit in the summer, but we took more than that in. Also money doesn't buy you success, just look at what we spent the summer before. Like it or not with the new TV deal clubs who come down will be spending what similar to what we spent. Plenty of clubs have spent well since going and never made it back. The reason we are doing well is because these are Rafa's signings and he's our manager.
