Dan Gleebals Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Time for him to walk head held high. No shame in doing so either. Time some of our support realised who the real problem is. Rafa simply has no place in a pound shop and right now, we are not even that. Depressing but true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I assume this guy is legit, he's followed by Shearer/Douglas/Ryder etc He's mates with Rafa I believe. He's been saying how frustrated Rafa is for a while (and getting shot down by some of our fans accusing him of making shit up). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Essentially Rafa probably isn't going to leave us in the shit due to respect for the club and fans, but when he keeps us up he'll be straight off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that helps much really, unless he believes he'll get money next year from the PL cash. If he's leaving anyway he may as well do it now so we can get it over with.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Only the sale of the club between now and May will keep Rafa here, regardless of what happens in January. The damage has been done and will be unrepairable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Imagine being Merino right now man ... poor git. Really good that he is only on loan. Being stuck here after Rafa bounces only to be fucked about by some dimwitted pashun obsessed PFM piece of shit like Souness who was already castigating him live on TV after one game. Fucking hell man. Every evil will definitely come upon Mike Ashley. Every evil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Doesn't sound like he's on the verge of quitting from that then. When the time is right and on his terms suggests like many have said he'll see out the season. Or at worst when a team comes in for him over the next few months. All the murmurings aren't suggesting he's going to quit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I don't believe Rafa will stay out of respect for the fans. There's only so much s*** anyone can take from their "bosses" and he can walk off to a much better paid and more enjoyable experience at the flick of a finger, with the respect from the fans and the outside football world. I understand he would want to stay close to his family and he's football mad, but surely he's not short on cash and would be happier not having to deal with this s***? In any case, he'll be back in a PL job in no time if he walks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pons Alias Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 That guy saying he WILL quit pretty much confirms it though. End of season at best. Who the hell would want to manage or play for us after this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I would rather he just fucked off now, than hung around with the intention of leaving in a few months or whatever. The house is going to be brought down either way, might as well start the process asap. A manager with his ability and achievements doesn't deserve to be fucked around like this, I respect him too much to see him working under these shithouses.

KaKa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Rafa is done man. He is only going to stay because he brought people like Merino, LeJeune and Joselu who wouldn't have ever entertained the idea of coming. He will be advising them to leave as soon as they can now though. For certain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 The obvious way out is the West Ham job when it becomes available. I think they're waiting to sack Bilic until Rafa gives them the green light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I guess outside of the transfer window he doesn't have to actually talk to Ashley. So he might just about be able to get through the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Whoever the replacement is needs constant hounding. The manager is not the issue. Whichever shitball they appoint will be.

KaKa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 We will not be able to sign any one of any kind of calibre after this. Back to punt after punt on the likes of Riviere, Haidara, Cabell, Thauvin etc. throw money at them and hope they show enough to go for a big profit. The club is completely finished. Rafa was the last hope. They killed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Bilic will turn it round, lots of points from their next 4 games so I don't see that happening. Can't believe he hasn't left already, was convinced he'd quit but all the sounds don't make it seem imminent. What a bloke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I seriously dread to think what level of manager will want to be associated with these once Rafa's gone like. It was nothing short of a miracle that Rafa came and then stayed, but we're on the verge of Keegangate II here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Whoever the replacement is needs constant hounding. The manager is not the issue. It is if it's a lick spittle cunt like Pardew or Carver: not main issue of course but big part and I hope if it is the return of the king or his like he gets fucking zero support. Hound the cunt as much as possible. He will be Mikes puppett and a legitimate target. imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
