nufc4eva Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 we've waited till 2016 to get an indoor 4G pitch!!!!! shocking. It's just mental isn't it. They could have just booked Gateshead stadium pitches to train :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 “Another important change we are making is to bring in an administrator to work with the players and their families. “This will be someone who speaks English, French, Spanish, to help players settle at the club and in the city and be sure that they are able to focus 100 per cent on the football.” As if we never had that before man. “We have already improved the gym, bringing in new and better equipment which will be a big improvement. “We will also be resurfacing the artificial pitch inside the indoor facility. It will be a 4G surface which is much better for the players to train on, there is less impact on the body and less problems with injuries. It's almost as if all the other t***s we've had in "charge" over the past decade were completely clueless wait.. What an absolute broken down shambles. All hail Rafa.

Bimpy474 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What a fantastic man we now have as manager. However the results go, he's just pure class and gets what he club means to the fans and the area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 It's like deja vu for me, in so many ways. It was like this when Keegan became manager for the first time. He completely altered the club in every way, always positive. I've watched the 5-1 last game about 6 times now, it is so reminiscent of the past - so many elements coming together. We're in for a ride! The attention paid to improving the player's training facilities and surroundings if very reminiscent of Keegan's first stint here as manager. Remember the dressing rooms getting a fresh coat of paint? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Can't wait for the start of the season now. Can't wait for the players to come back for pre season and for Rafa to get cracking with them. A full pre season with some decent additions and we should really hit the start of the season with some momentum and confidence, we went 6 unbeaten at the end let's carry it forward.

Ndegwa Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 How the hell did we end up with Rafa? I can't wait until the players are back training and things start moving again. It beggars belief. It really does. I just hope the unlikely scenario of us finishing outside the automatic playoffs doesn't come to fruition. We've got a great chance in the Premier League to be competitive with all these changes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 We didn't have 4G pitches before? No wonder every one of our players is broken. Training with medicine balls in those silent picture strong guy onesies. Probably had a phrenologist on staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a great chance in the Premier League to be competitive with all these changes. We'll win the league, I have no doubt about that. We are good enough now to walk it with the players we have and I can only see us getting stronger with the players Rafa is likely to bring in and the organisation he will drill into the players. We have the best manager in the Championship by a country mile, no other manager even gets close. I think exciting times are ahead for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What a guy though. Basically everything since he walked through the door has been different. Like a football club should be fucking run. We've done almost everything right, it's so refreshing. It remains to be seen if the club will keep this up behind the scenes, but it's as though they respect him enough to listen to his direct instructions instead of knowing they are able to walk all over him like they did to weak, desperate dickheads like Pardew and McClaren. Even the little things, like doing that interview. Answering direct questions about the likes of Sissoko. Reducing ticket prices. The huge improvement in our social media output. It's all got the hallmark of someone who knows what the fuck they're doing. It's been so long and it's fantastic. And we haven't even played a game yet.

All the managers that came in, looked around at the shit facilities and practices and thought "No, this all looks fine." I can't believe we only just went down. We're only in the championship. We should have been playing our games through the mail by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I get this vison of the football match in Kes with a muddy pitch and most of the players hanging off bent cross bars It would have been exactly that under Pardew. He'd have been the Man Utd loving teacher who would have to have it all his own way. He'd have had the likes of Coloccini, Gouffran, Mike Williamson and the usual suspects on his side.
