Nobody Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Rafa Benitez exclusive Q&A Part II: Newcastle boss on De Jong, Academy and key to United's success http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rafa-benitez-exclusive-qa-part-12788778#ICID=ios_ChronicleNewsApp_AppShare_Click_Other Proof that what you say isn't as important as how you say it. In both these interviews, Rafa hasn't said anything special really just reading his words. Bet that if we could have listened to it, it would have made a much bigger impact.

Paully Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 PMP bollocks: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-boss-rafa-benitez-back-10116501 I've feared this since his interview post-QPR :-( If Ashley pisses him about then it'll happen. He's ambitious and will not settle to simply try and stay up next season or any season. He can still live in England plus their squad is miles better than ours not to mention they'll back him heavily in the transfer market. The ball is in the fat man's court so expect the worst!

Sir Toon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Benitez's 'team' will be fully aware of everything and as Rafa wants to stay, there'll be umpteen angles of propaganda. Expect more of these stories as the season goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes_End_Mag Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 West Ham are one of the few clubs who have a worse transfer structure than us. Can't see him leaving us for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 He wouldn't leave for West Ham. Don't kid yourself. Any indication that the January farce will be repeated and he'll be off to whoever makes him a good offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any indication that the January farce will be repeated and he'll be off to whoever makes him a good offer. That's my only worry. Rafa would much prefer to stay here location wise, but he won't want to waste his time if he's not backed properly by Ashley. If he leaves it will be because of the owner, not because he fancies moving to London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 He needs to sort his backroom for next season. From what i can tell our form somewhat and most definitely how well we were playing took a bump when Cathro left. Again though, I have every faith in this man to do what's best for the club if he's allowed to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 We go up and January was a successful window. It's a gamble, but no point looking back. Going forward it does mean more to spend this summer and less chance of bring held over a barrel. I think Rafa has come round to that way of thinking now after putting his initial dissapointment behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure Rafa is so grateful that Charnley and Ashley made him reassess the January window in the cold light of day. I think he's looking to the future knowing he has more to spend than had we overspent in January. Should we go up everyone should be thinking that. We'll get nowhere if we can't move on from the past and mistakes, whoever made them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I don't think Rafa will ever reassess his view on January, nor should he. Just have to hope they do enough in the summer to make up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hasn't he still got a load of net profit from the summer sales as well left unspent? I thought he had control over those funds, so of he gave a list of targets to Charney etc and got nothing... man I'd be p*ssed too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Bet he's nowhere near as pissed as the fans being pissed on his behalf. If he is then he resigns on 7th May regardless of anything that happens between now and then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
