afar Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Imagine how bad this season will be without him man It'll be one horrendous long struggle to survive, no doubt heralding the triumphant return of Pardew. This inaction is going to cost us big time, the stupidity of Ashley and Charnley knows no bounds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The real financial bonanza of being promoted will come later this month, when the television money falls into bank account of all 20 Premier League clubs. Newcastle then will start feeling like a top flight club once more. If they do not start acting like one, there is a very good chance they will lose their Champions-League winning manager. This is a key bit from the Hardy article. Has he been told to wait for this money to be deposited? Please tell me that this is what is being implied?! It's our only hope man. That doesn't make any sense man. They've got access to the money or can make assurances to make signings now. They just seem determined not to pay the going rate. Just wondered why Hardy would add that in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much use if other clubs are signing our targets while we wait for the money to drop into our accounts later this month. Sounds like complete BS to me.

KaKa Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Man, we are screwed. This is all just so damned unfortunate. Doesn't even sound like Rafa wanted big money, and was being unreasonable. Just so frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 When is this pot of money due? If we are guaranteed cash from the prem league why didn;t we just borrow from an over draft facility and pay it back when the cash deposited into the account? securing the targets we wanted and leaving nothing to the last minute.

Because that would mean committing to spending money when the aim appears to be the opposite. If Rafa doesn't like it he can always fuck off. I'm assuming that would be the club's viewpoint.

Paully Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This shit shouldn’t be constantly happening! Two windows in a row now!

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Even if he doesn't walk in this window, we'll never make any significant progression as long as Ashley is here anyway, we'll always be the club that lags behind and could get dragged into a relegation battle, even with Rafa I'm struggling to find a reason to be interested in us anymore. If Rafa doesn't walk soon he will walk within a year, the writing is on the wall IMO, even if he does beg the board for bargain basement signings all its going to do is damage his own reputation when we don't kick on. Hes a great manager but not a miracle worker. But hey the shirt sales and season ticket sales are the highest they've been in years, and Ashley knows if he replaces Benitez with Gary Megson the fans will still sit in silence and take it, there's no reason for him to be concerned.

Dave Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Until anything happens then there's no point in worrying too much but there's definitely a bad smell surrounding all this. Would guess Hardy has been briefed by Rafa or his people, as previously. Fuck's sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Rafa Benitez is literally the only thing keeping me connected to football and to NUFC. I've already stopped watching PL football and I can't tell you who done what in last year's Champions League. He represents everything that got me following the game and supporting this club in the first place. If he goes, I literally will have no interest left in NUFC or football.

magorific Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It's definitely worrying, but I don't think Hardy writing about it means he's walking tomorrow. We know Rafa is p*ssed, we know Ashley/Charnley probably won't change. s*** sucks, but this article doesn't change anything The piece has come straight from Rafa - no way Martin Hardy would risk the relationship he has with him (Rafa) by speculating himself. But the one good thing is I see it as proof that Rafa desperately wants to stay - it's another warning shot to Ashley, same as after January. But how many more can he send out before giving up?
