Charlies Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 He's the only ray of light left, without him were just an empty shell of a club. I hope to god a sale of the club is in the offing & he only stays because he knows. In all honesty I thought this window would be different, more fool me & I'm sure many others. How can they be so fucking thick enough to let an opportunity like this go. Fuck the lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 When the anger settles down a bit, there are a few questions. What now for the club and Rafa if he's still here for Swansea and the rest of the games in the build up to January? What next for the club if he isn't?

henke Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Rafa will be the man to save our club, but not through on the field success. When he walks it'll be the final straw for many people, myself included. It might take a few years for Ashley to sell us. But without doubt Rafa's departure will prove to be the beginning of the end.

Heron Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Think we should all just take a step back to be honest. Rafa won't leave not yet anyways. Stay focused on getting behind him and his mags.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't think he'll walk yet. He absolutely should, no doubt, because he's been fucked around twice now. His stance will be what he said the other week, we're no longer a long term project. I expect he'll be gone by next summer after doing his utmost for this campaign. Mike fucking Ashley, man. The bloke will just never get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the seemingly inevitable happens we all got 100% at removing Ashley though Pretty much, whonestly i'm I can't be fucked being angry at the club anymore, the club is a big part of my life that I refuse to always be angry towards it. Obviously if/when Rafa walks that will change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Elite rich clubs have fucked this market. Teams now stuck with players who dont want to be there, prices for average players going up to 40m. I can see a future of a separate window for elite clubs as most cant get involved. You can look around and see not many average clubs did anything major today, because its been made impossible. Bournemouth offering 25m for Demarai Gray to be told 40m is his valuation. As much as many say its been a shit window (agreed) we did shift a lot of crap out. Its tough on Rafa and i guess we will have to do it the hard way, and hope we dont pick up many injuries along the way, and stupid suspensions like Shelvey and Mitrovic. If he sees the season out total respect to him for trying for us fans. Im sure thats all he's in it for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Think some are in for a shock here he has been totally undermined twice in the last 2 windows and even worse this time as he has basically said all window quality transfers are required only to be totally ignored or 5th or 6th choice targets coming in. His position is virtually untenable right now which imho is exactly what Ashley wants and hoping Benitez will walk. He has been consistently lied to and a man of his principal will no way be able to carry on in the current environment even with the relationship he has with the fans ala Keegan. If this supposed fee installment is in place he may wait until a club of any stature comes knocking but I will be astonished if he is still here come January. He will know the fans will understand if he does go. No manager with the reputation and standing he has will put up with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If Rafa does go we might get a new man who plays exciting football - edge of the seat stuff! Then again he might just absorb the humiliation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
