54 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It looked awful even when it was built. It's always looked like an underfunded youth rehabilitation centre or something. When was it build out of interest? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Rafa playing them perfectly - no SD shite in the background and the dump of a training ground on show! Really is shocking how old that looks. Absolutely pitiful really. There will be champ clubs with better facilities There will be league 1 clubs with better facilities man just look at the state of it. It looks like some kind of drop in centre for junkies and alcholics Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Rondo looks absolutely delighted in every NUFC related pic he''s taken since joining. He is going to be so good man. Seems really excited about he move. I actually think he will do well and be popular. Be nice to have a beast up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets the Rafa treatment he'll be unstoppable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Not much doubt he'll do well IMO, just a shame we didn't buy him and another £50m worth of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 The idea that terrifies me is him walking, going to another PL club, and them giving him money and finishing top 6 or 7. Imagine if it were West Ham.... Why would that terrify you? He's a top 6 manager, he deserves the chance to perform at his own level, to make his own kind of music, not rummage through the LPs in the Spastic Society shop. West Ham though. Them Tory wankers and their free stadium. I'm not saying our shite owner deserves Rafa Benitez but I don't think theirs do either, even if they put more money in. Wherever Rafa goes I'd like to support him and I couldn't do it with those three there at West Ham. Awful people. As for Pellegrini, recent history suggests eight or so Premier League managers won't last the season. It was ten last year. Hughes, Warnock, and Silva at Everton would be my bets, but even if not them, it'll happen to someone else. The more the tv money goes up, the more pressure there will be near the bottom when December comes around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 when the time comes i really hope rafa takes the fight to ashley rather than fading away out of the club if you see what i mean, the way shearer sort of did I think he's already doing that tbf. Ashley would probably much prefer if he would just walk like Keegan did, but Rafa prefers to hang around and take aim at the owners wherever he has been in the past. If he does nothing else for the duration of his contract, I expect he will make life uncomfortable for Ashley and that is fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to lose. I see your point, but I think what he’s doing now is building momentum against Ashley and Co - why give them the easy way out?

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's not an easy way out and there is thousands of our fans who still don't realise what is going on. Rafa has the power to change that. The one thing that would cause United all out war on him is Rafa going now or early In the season. I still maintain unfortunately that is the best way to cause him grief as instead of having 35% of the fanbase against him and up for causing grief and protesting it would be 80% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 what i was kind of getting at was that he should get out in front of them with his message as we approach shit street...the whole thing as we know is they won't give him money because he won't sign a contract that's heavily weighted against him, while lots of us know they won't give him the cash anyway he could cut off their whole shite publicly making an offer, or whatever you want to call it - i'll sign tomorrow but with no resignation penalty clause unless i go to another club within 3/6 months (or something)...that cuts off the manager poaching bullshit as he'll not quit for another job and do nothing for 3/6 months they've nothing to come back with then imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, wanting Rafa gone early to ratchet up pressure is a lunatic desire. He has twelve months to play his games with Mike Ashley; why would you want to lose that opportunity for the *possibility* of his departure galvanising the support (who have thus far proved virtually immune to galvanisation)? Rafa leaving now = Allardyce in next week, relegation in May and free-fall from there. Rafa pressuring Ashley until May = at least some chance of positive change in Ashley's attitude.

Stifler Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It’s clear Rafa wants to be here long term and he only see’s that being possible if Ashley is gone. Credit to him, not many managers would identify a club as his ideal job and then force the owners out. He brought Staveley to us, and now I think he’s doing his best to give her a fighting chance of taking over. This really is the beginning of the end of Ashley, the big question is will Rafa run out of time to get him to sell? It’s up to us to push Ashley further out of the door in order to give us the best chance of keeping Rafa, and of course to just generally get rid of Ashley.
