LV Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 There is no way he’d come back under Ashley and no way Ashley would have him back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Not that it would happen ever but I wouldn't want him back with no takeover, because if he did then what the fuck was the point in the last 18 months of torture. Fuck I hate Ashley. Destroyed any enjoyment I ever got from this club 😔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 the only way he comes back is if the takeover is secretly back on, and there;s some agreement between ashley and the new owners. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 George Calkin was on the Treu Faith podcast last night before the game and when he could get a word in over that awful Charlotte he said Rafa would not return under the current owners.

Shearergol Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If Rafa comes back here under Ashley, he'd lose a lot of credibility, in my eyes. Nah, the very reason he left was because he couldn't get the assurances he needed. If he came back I'd trust that he got whatever he felt was necessary in order to improve the club. That of course also means that he won't be back unless it is related to a takeover. I've mentioned this on another thread, but a "mad thought" perhaps, but can we possibly get Rafa in a specifically 'temporary' role again (Deja Vu . . . ) Then any problems for the new owners having to keep our temporary manager (who they may not have wanted) on indefinitely . . . well, don't apply do they. I mean, he is now available, and while Rafa would definitely NOT come back in any kind of permanent role under the current ownership (after the way he was treated by Ashley and all the broken promises) but he could be tempted by another temporary rescue job, particularly if his friends in the Consortium have indicated their imminent success to him !! Seems LOGICAL doesn't it. So if it doesn't happen, and he goes to Celtic, what's next for your "IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO HAPPEN" takeover? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Just watching Gary Neville’s Soccerbox with Steven Gerrard and he’s talking about how Rafa took his game to a new level with tactical instructions, positioning etc. Depressing tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If he was waiting for the Newcastle job he'd have probably seen out his final year at Dalian. Or at least said he was taking a break for a while rather than intimating he's looking for a quick return to management. I think people are putting two and two together here, but his departure from China has probably got nothing to do with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 If he goes to Celtic he’s given up on football or any kind of project. Nowt against Celtic but that league is awful and dies a little every year. Tragic. But he'd get to pit his wits against Europe's elite. One tactical masterclass at a time and he could do it.
