That team was relegated by 2 points. Yay, lets scrape survival with Rafa, 53,000 fans and 100m + TV revenue.... For what its worth I feel this team as is would struggle. I don't think we would go down and that's purely because of who our manager is but fuck me, what a life to live just surviving. I guarantee Brighton and Huddersfield will be hoping to achieve more than that. Out of curiosity how much TV money did we get last season in comparison to the other Premier League clubs? It's our first season back in the league. I'd take survival, (although I think we'll do a bit better than just survive) as long as it means we push on next year with more of the TV deal after we've covered our losses from the championship season.

Ikon Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Not long ago Rafa said something along the lines of "We have enough to do what we need to do" or similar. Surely he doesn't think what we've done so far is enough, so there's a chance he's raging like a bull Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/rafa-benitez-set-newcastle-showdown-10937564 Quote Rafa Benitez is heading for a fresh showdown with Newcastle owner Mike Ashley over the latest transfer impasse. The Spanish coach is furious Newcastle have failed to land Stoke striker Joselu after a £12million bid was turned down. The Newcastle boss is desperate to land a striker before they return to the Premier League at home to Spurs next weekend. Benitez is also frustrated that Ashley and chief executive Lee Charnley are refusing to enter the race for former winger Andros Townsend. Not sure whether it's more tedious it's true or more tedious if it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 All of our wingers have had great Pre-seasons as well. Why buy Atsu and Murphy if you then want Townsend too? Unless your binning Aarons or Ritchie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 It's just lazy. "Townsend free to leave Palace, after they turn down £10m." He's not exactly free to leave if they're turning down £10m then are they? Only part of this that can hold any weight is the fact the Express & Mirror both get a smiliar story at around the same time. Could be Rafa's people leaking stuff to press again (which is a fucking joke that he has to do this to get people above him to do stuff) but other than that, I'm just dismissing it.
