Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Taking it ffs. He's a professional and he's knows how and when to play games and he knows that that time isn't now, that's what you need to grasp. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Even now he's still suggesting it's not too late to get him to extend his contract. Ugh, the pain. That's what concerns me though. After what's happened he shouldn't have any ideas of signing a new contract otherwise it's another 3 years of this.

gdm Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sounds like he is quite content with been shafted. If mclaren or pardew said them quotes they would be crucified. Have some dignity and go Rafa. What happened to all the " Rafa won't let them take the piss" etc. He's gave up 2 summers for nowt he's been messed around more than anyone before him Shut up, He’s a smart guy, we have a game in less than 24hours and the majority of the fans get it already. He’s concentrating on the game and that’s it The game means fuck all though whilst Ashley is here why won't people grasp that Yeah silly us, you are the only one that really sees what’s going on. Benítez has a job to do and he’ll do it. He is far from happy but he has to get his squad ready and playing for each other. If Rafa came out moaning then that’s the players excuses right there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah let's all just get on with getting 17th and guess who wins again. Tear it all down and a relegation might help get rid of Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Canny funny how you're going on like everyone else is blind to something, when it's actually you that can't see that it would be outright stupidity if Rafa came out and outright said he was leaving at the end of what's going to be a difficult season, that would be even more difficult with everyone knowing he's definitely not staying.

mickthemagpie Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Stockholm syndrome at its finest. Yep. Very dissapointed in him. Been shafted and just takes it. Keep mike on the gravy train. I reckon he will sign a new deal as well and be here for another 2/3 years of this. Just been happy working miracles to finish mid table Send him £6m to help him walk then mate. Not to mention a years salary he would be missing out on so £10million is nearer the true figure. Anyone who says they would hand over that sort of money to MA or anyone else for that matter is a fucking liar. Just give it a rest man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 You going along tomorrow tubes. I think you need a release - genuine suggestion Yes. Although I don't want to be turning out for a Saturday with my mate and his dad angry and pissed off which is how I will be. Not fair on anybody. The usual routine is a can on the train up talking about the match and team etc. As it stands I can't even be bothered to even listen to anything to do with the football side of it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that. What is there to lose though? I'm at the point staying up means Ashley wins and going down might help me the start of getting rid of him If you got it you'd know what there is to lose. The affect on the players, the staff around the club, the support, the extra criticism for coming out and saying it. Rafa's the manager, not a fan who's had 11 years of this shit and is so desperate for change that they actively want the club to fail so that Ashley will cut his losses, he's not going to deliberately vandalise the club in that way, he wants to do the best that he can with what he has, and then at the end of the contract, we already know that he'll leave, but he's not going to say that now and be any sort of reason for the club not doing the best it can do.

madras Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 There's a few reasons he won't walk, if that6million clause is true that'll play a part. His honour and not walking on contracts, his hope that a buyout does come along ( wonder if he is in touch still as it seems like he was early before any media last time round). It'll be a mix of things rather than one reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Tubes need to have a few deep breaths here. Rafa literally has 3 options: 1. Walk, and pay the fat man £6m. 2. Stay and moan for the whole season, turning the Non-NUFC footballing world against you and therefore in favour of Ashley. 3. Stay and get on with the job, pray for a takeover and that doesn't materialise then walk off into the sun and tee off freely once your contract has expired.

Kimbo Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Rafa clearly has a policy of saying as little as possible to the press, he knows what it's like to be part of a media circus from Liverpool, Chelsea, and Madrid, and he doesn't think it helps him do his job. That's how I see it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Fair enough. Basically it's hope the 1% chance of a takeover happens otherwise it's another year of Ashley but plus moyes allardyce etc. I just don't see any reason why I should even feel anything and enjoy any wins knowing there is absolutely no hope or anything good at the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Puppets Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I know for a fact that that £6m clause isn't true by the way. It was in the first 12 months of his contract, but not now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
