nufc4eva Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I feel a lot more relaxed about things tonight. Not sure why like. I really don't. There is nobody better for this club than Rafa and they have fucked that. He would have rebuilt us and had us competing if them cunts had bought into it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Rafa can get on with working out how these average players can combine to win things. I have confidence in him doing that. Long term we've got little to look forward to, but at least our players are more likeable now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the shitshow is over for a couple of months anyway, hopefully we can knuckle down and start winning a few matches. A good points return from the next 3 and the mood will be looking up again. This (Rafa being here) will always be a house of cards under Ashley, I've always thought he'd see the season out but after yesterday I'm worried if he'll still be here for the Burnley home game (on the deadline of January window). I remember a great post by someone in the McClaren thread after Leicester beat us 0-3 at home, can't remember who it was but his point still stands: the Ashley regime has 2 more chapters, appoint a figurehead or sell up. He either wants a successful club () or he doesn't. I believe Rafa is his chance. If he's forced out the whole thing will turn toxic until Ashley sells up. Hopefully Rafa is still here before the Chelsea home game on the last day, and we have a new owner at that point. We can only but hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad the shitshow is over for a couple of months anyway, hopefully we can knuckle down and start winning a few matches. He was never going to leave immediately, he's under contract and it would cost him £5m. He'll now be looking ahead to his next job, and he'll probably not be planning to be here next season whereas before this summer he definitely was. He'll do his best while he is here though, he's a proud man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll do his best while he is here though, he's a proud man. It's the only reason why he hasn't walked already but is a certainty to be away once a club of some stature comes in for him and they will in the not too distant future either. It's gone beyond affinity with the supporters now (as some think this will keep him here this season it won't) and not a chance he won't be away with the first decent opportunity becoming available. Think some of our fans are living in dreamland if they think he will be here in the near future never mind the end of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 When all is said and done if we'd signed Kenedy and Targett on loan would most of us have been happy and would Rafa have been? Missing out on those 2 shouldn't define our season but the abject failure by Ashley to back his man to spend reasonable amounts to secure a left back, a keeper and another striker could. We don't appear to have been anywhere near to getting any of those positions filled by permanent replacements. There were names linked with us that were simply not going to happen; I have no idea what the actual plan was. I'd love to know who was on Rafa's wish list and who he expected to get (Abraham, yes but who else). If I were Rafa I'd walk at the first opportunity, Ashley has completely mugged him off.

Reckon it still could've been last straw - but he's made decision and will wait for the right offer to leave, instead of buying out his contract for millions.
