Twinport53 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Did anyone else think that is was a new contract for Rafa? Obviously the other story is great too mind. Been mentioned a while ago. But Rafa said he would never quit this summer as he'd given new players his word that he's staying long term. That he wouldn't tie them to this club and then fuck off. I feel getting Merino tied down is a similar story. Rafa must of given him assurances he's here for a while longer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a comment he made about when he was at Liverpool and had the chance to go to Real Madrid, he didn't say it about NUFC. Not even sure he said it this summer either, it was part of a serialisation of Mark Douglas' book about Rafa I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Not that I think he'd go mid-season anyway like. The Lascelles and Merino contracts are definitely promising signs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel getting Merino tied down is a similar story. Rafa must of given him assurances he's here for a while longer. That was the main reason I thought he would stay. Players are coming here for Rafa he wouldn't walk unless he thought his position was untenable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 He won't be going anywhere right now. Things are ticking along nicely and we might get taken over soon. If we have a decent January, the debacle of the summer will seem a world away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Clough had the bond with Derby (had something to prove to the board) as a club or fan base in the same way Keegan did/does with us and Rafa did/does with Liverpool.

Benwell Lad Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Listened to an interview with him on BBC Newcastle pre-match yesterday where he talked about a lot of things. Most interesting part, for me, was when he explained the roles and responsibilities of those involved with the first team management. Not surprising, but it really is a very structured approach with his team all having specific responsibilities, leaving nothing to chance and all reporting into him. Bearing in mind there is a similar model operating below that at U23 and junior levels and he seems to have everything at his finger tips. Although Rafa is undoubtedly the "gaffer" in every sense of the word he couldn't have have sounded more like a "director of football" if he'd wanted to. He really is an excellent person to have in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 A journalist who writes for a publication that covers the Premier League said this to me today... there are very few things in football worse than Mike Ashley... go on... one of them is giving Rafa Benitez a large transfer budget After the transfer window closed he argued that we had a perfectly fine squad and Rafa shouldn't have any complaints. Which now, of course, means that in his mind we are performing about average given our squad (i.e. a replacement manager would be doing the same).
