TRon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nothing changed on transfer policy. Seems to suggest no one signed because clubs won't sell who he wants Which is good because it means he's not prepared to lower his standards. It's a policy that will work out in the long run, we'll get exponentially better season on season while he's here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The BBC Radio Newcastle interview was quite positive whereas some of the newspaper articles from their press conference are leaning more to a slightly negative stance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 "I have confidence that we can sign the players we NEED". "Nothing has changed". Nothing in that presser has me worried. Seems confident and talks sense. Give it a watch: https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv Trust in Rafa One of the perks of having someone like Benitez manage your club is the trust and confidence he exudes. Fuck the pessimists. I know Rafa is only human, but he embodies all the good human and footballing values I want to see at NUFC. There was nothing in that interview to suggest that he's uncomfortable or that he wasn't telling the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don’t have any problem continuing doing things in the way that we were doing. Each club has its own way to do things. The worse was always when the owner, or the chairman, or the president, were involved talking with players. That is the worst in my experience. Rafa has dealt with some real crap man, particularly at Real. I think we'll be fine. I think he is quite flexible when it comes to recruitment. He'll work within whatever frame is provided, as long as he can get who he wants within the framework given to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'm sorry like... I don't see the problem at all, and as usual, think the reaction is way overboard. Read these quotes... He was asked again about transfers and if he had the final say. “Yes, the club cannot sign anyone without talking with me, but at the same time, 'Can you sign whatever you want?’ We are trying to sign what we need, that's what we are trying to do. We have to try to find the players that we need.” He was asked, also, about Ashley’s reappearance. “I think he likes the way the team is playing and he wants to enjoy life on the pitch!” Benitez replied with a smile. “In terms of that, it is the same situation. I still continue talking with Lee (Charnley, the managing director) and working every day. “When we were winning nine games in a row, nobody was asking me this question (about meeting Ashley). I don’t have any problem continuing doing things in the way that we were doing. Each club has its own way to do things. The worse was always when the owner, or the chairman, or the president, were involved talking with players. That is the worst in my experience. “If you have the people close to you, working with you and they have contact, I don’t have any issue with that. My compromise with the club, with the fans, with the owner, with everyone, is to try my best and try to go up. My understanding is that if you have a good manager, leave him to take responsibility.” So Rafa says he's happy and it's fine. That should be the end of the matter, but sadly now any suggestion of meddling (even though it isn't) is in the public domain, it will be brought up at any sign of trouble. You always say everything is overboard when it comes to football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Seems to be pretty much saying he wouldn't expect to have sole control over transfers, but no one can be signed without his say. Talk about coaching until the end of the season is because the questions were regarding this transfer window, and once it's shut he will be focusing on coaching the players he has.

nufcjb Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Rafa had worst things to cope with when at Real. President like a bitch, players acting like divas. He could cope now maybe until the end of the season. Just hope Carr has a massive Kinnear-like health problem that would put him away from the club for good.

Pardew back. If Ashley did that, I would NEVER cross the portals of SJP again...even if they got Mourinho to take over after ANOTHER relegation battle. The club would be a joke and quite rightly the butt of every fan in the UK. If Rafa leaves because of interference, it should be total war against Ashley until he leaves.

MSC26 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If Rafa walked away because of Ashley, I'd also cancel my season ticket on the spot. I'd never return to NUFC for a match until Ashley was gone. Don't care what happens if Rafa goes. Rafa is the be all, end all as far as I'm concerned with NUFC.
