HaydnNUFC Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I understand the whole 'won't give a f*** any more if he goes'. But the truth is I'm gonna feel nauseous every single week, as my excuse for a football club goes by playing games, and I feel like I can't support it. Spot on. Same.

Robster Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 i do think it's the ashley plan, get in premier league, make sure have a cheapskate shit manager, get relegated, spend a little hire a better manager, get promoted, piss off decent manager make him leave, hire shithead. Repeat. When we go down this time, we'll stay down for a while. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Phew. There'll be absolute hell on if Rafa leaves like. Sure wouldn't want to be in Ashley's shoes at the next home game when the fans pay him to fill his ground, buy his overpriced beer, sing songs about him and possibly even indulge in some mild grumbling before leaving early to beat the traffic. Watch your back Mike! Fuck off blaming the fans, man. It's Mike, not the supporters. Remember when Pardew blamed the fans? It's a cunt's trick. Most wrongly blaming the fans are subscribers of SKY which funds Mike far far more than any turnstile. 2 games into the season and already the internet turns on fellow fans, a good percentage of whom have been going for decades. Love owt like this. I gave up going 3 years ago because I couldn't stomach putting a single penny more in Mike Ashley's pocket. If everyone else had done the same, he'd be a distant memory.

Tiresias Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's not the fans fault, and neither can i fault anyone for going to the footy match, it's part of the texture of the week and part of peoples lives.

toon25 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Tbf, the only reason people continued to go last year was precisely because of Rafa.

TRon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 To be honest who would be willing to come here and work for Ashley after he has again completely undermined and lied to yet another manager. Even Pardew would give us a wide birth. Fuck me, there's still people on here who believe that cunt has a conscience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 If Benitez comes and fails it'll confirm once and for all that we're beyond recovery under Ashley. McClaren wasn't a fair test because he's a rubbish manager. Benitez is a successful manager and, you would think, could move most clubs forward.

Hhtoon Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Almost want it to be over now. Rafas in the right of course, but the media frenzy and the "will he, won't he" is just draining. Rafa is too big for the club under Ashley ownership and seems just a matter of time....suspect there is going to be a lot of soul searching for many on here if it happens. Though until the 31st I'll still hold on to the hope that someone will see sense and whip out a couple of 15-20m next level signings :suicide: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Whatever happens, the breakdown in the relationship between Rafa and the fat cunt will mean that there's no chance of long term stability. Worryingly, it also means there's likely a fuck ton of instability in the short term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFlat Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Embargoes and all that, but why the fuck does this stuff have to come out so late?! Lost count of the number of times I've gone to sleep pissed off over the last ten years. Tomorrow could very well be his last game in charge of us judging by those quotes. Going to be a very strange atmosphere, and I'll be waiting for the drawn out exit from the pitch while clapping all four sides of the ground. Fuck knows where we go from here.
