AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Like someone said before, I just fucking want this to be done, one way or another. Sick of this shit! I'm sort of relaxed about it, I've decided I won't be following us if Rafa is forced out. I know it's a defence mechanism, but it's all I've got.

Ronaldo Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 So this time there is quotes and once again Rafa has to resort to using the media to force their hand. Pathetic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Those comments put huge pressure on Ashley to deliver, nobody has done that to him before and it'll be interesting to see how he responds. Pardew regularly held him to account IIRC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Stating the obvious, but until Ashley's gone there'll never be a true end to anything and we're just winning and losing smaller battles. The whole point of ousting Pardew and McLaren was so that we could get someone like Rafa. Now if he's being dicked about and leaves, the only positive is more people onside for match walk outs and boycotts to try and oust Ashley. My fear - beyond Rafa leaving obviously - is that Ashley brings someone else in and the fans just get on with 'supporting the team not the regime' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Like someone said before, I just f***ing want this to be done, one way or another. Sick of this s***! I'm sort of relaxed about it, I've decided I won't be following us if Rafa is forced out. I know it's a defence mechanism, but it's all I've got. I've decided the same mate. The "uncertainty" is just frustrating (inevitable might be a better word) and want us to either move forward where everyone's happy, or get closure and move on with my life without Newcastle and cheese tits in charge.

Kasper Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Optimistic I know but I don't see Ashley surviving Rafa leaving now. It would be such a monumental fuck up on his part that even the "support the team" people would boil over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same scenario will play out, struggle for year or two if lucky, then get relegated; and then promoted and on and on. One of these times though we won't get promoted. The whole Ashley era is nearly as bad as the McKeag years and at least he had an excuse as he had no serious money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Meh i stopped caring before Benitez, then he hasn't been here long enough for me to regain any passion i once had pre-Pardew so i struggle to care right now. Just apathy all over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 If Rafa leaves it would be amazing if the stadium was all empty during our first game of the season. Would fucking love it in a way. Not that it's gonna happen, but I certainly do think a lot of people would stop going, at least fucking hope so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just apathy all over again. Same with me gone from going every week to not at all due to the way one man runs this club. Same here. Although I did enjoy last season (for the most part) and was looking forward to this season. More fool me for thinking it was going to be any different. I'm glad rafa's came out and said this if I'm honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 “You need to adjust the team. “Then hopefully we can bring some players and add to what we are looking for.” This is important, a big reason we havent made the signings we want yet is that we havent been able to get rid of the deadwood as of yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Rafa carefully pinning Ashley and Charnely to the lack of action and bringing up the promises. While I don't think what has been said is that bad, it shouldn't be necessary. Rafa should be backed and we should have had at least 2 more big name signings in by now.
