NG32 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It's definitely worrying, but I don't think Hardy writing about it means he's walking tomorrow. We know Rafa is p*ssed, we know Ashley/Charnley probably won't change. s*** sucks, but this article doesn't change anything The piece has come straight from Rafa - no way Martin Hardy would risk the relationship he has with him (Rafa) by speculating himself. But the one good thing is I see it as proof that Rafa desperately wants to stay - it's another warning shot to Ashley, same as after January. But how many more can he send out before giving up? Ashley doesn't care who he pisses off, he has zero respect for anyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The question isn't if Rafa will leave, question is when. I'd be amazed if he's still here this time next year. Probably gone in January at the latest if not during this summer already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSC26 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Depressing that we have a world class manager and seem to be treating him with contempt. A lot of my mates are arguing "other clubs" haven't done much business yet, and the average is something like 2.2 signings for each club so far and their argument is we have signed 2 ourselves...but we need about 8 or 9. I can't see it ending well unless we pull a rabbit out the hat and sign two or three players by the end of this month. I suppose some deals, such as Siem De Jong, literally come out of nowhere, with little or no speculation, but this feels different. If Rafa goes, it will be fascinating to see how many people pack their season ticket in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Good question: A, there'll be 50,000 there whether Rafa stays or goes B, he couldn't give a fuck what the fans think Honestly, how can people this close to the club be this fucking naive?

It's as much the manner of the failures we're witnessing that points, once again, to a complete lack of ambition, urgency and competence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Good question: A, there'll be 50,000 there whether Rafa stays or goes B, he couldn't give a f*** what the fans think Honestly, how can people this close to the club be this f***ing naive? I could quite easily be proven wrong but i'm not convinced there'd be 50,000 there every week. We've had 10+ years of utter dross but fucking Rafa over would be the final nail in the coffin for many.

Big Geordie Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Is anyone seriously surprised by these revelations? It's always about the bottom line with Ashley - Rafa will be gone soon, same as Keegan bailed out. We are a PL club, ran with a league 2 mentality (Rafa aside) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
