SUPERTOON Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 For me I'm more nervous about us staying up just because we have him in now and he will be gone should we go down. I wouldn't mind going down as much if we knew he was going to stay, as I think he could still rebuild us from the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind going down as much if we knew he was going to stay, as I think he could still rebuild us from the championship. Does anyone know more about this get out clause? Is it an option for him to leave, or is it the club can cancel the contract? Or is it just, if we get relegated, he's gone? I can't see him managing us in the Championship. But it would be great if he stayed. He'd help us steady the ship and rebuild. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I dont see why people are bothering with this clause, a manager can resign at any moment. If we went down, he'd resign anyway if he wanted to. The only thing it will effect I'd assume is his compensation package. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 It's a bit of a minor point but even though I didn't agree with some of his subs they very clearly changed either the tactics or the formation. I've been that used to seeing like for like changes it was refreshing to see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 3 days of training versus Leicester and we had about 3 decent chances to punish them and a penalty decision that didn't go our way. They also scored on a bicycle kick from 6 out. Have faith in the world class manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Our lack of potency going forward is more down to a lack of confidence than anything else imo. We created several good openings last night - Mitrovic/Sissoko's coming together in the first half, Sissoko's pullback in the second half for Townsend, Perez's shot into the side-netting, Mitro opting to leave Janmaat's cross for de Jong etc - which, at the very least, would have resulted in shots on target had our players been less tentative when it mattered or executed the proper final ball. In that regard, Perez was the only player who should be exempted from any blame. I don't think there is an endemic problem with our attacking play - it's a confidence issue which Rafa should hopefully be able to rectify fairly easily.

Norseman Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 We played with a lot more purpose and commitment than under the previous manager. We could easily have got a goal from the chances we created. I have complete faith Rafa is the right man for us. Just hope we can survive so he can get a full season, and hopefully many more, with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The two week break after Sunderland could do us wonders. Hope we go into it with a W. If we do, then I can guarantee you that I also will, though a different W. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Sounds more like to the tune of La Bamba to me. Doesn't really fit, but could be sorted. It does fit. Liverpool fans used to sing it for him. We've managed to completely butcher it, though. Which isn't a surprise when you think about how we've managed to fuck up The Blaydon Races.
