Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

I know I have. But as if i would bet potentially 30-40 people £50 each. I clearly meant I would put up a single £50 that he dosent leave and I stick by that. He's going nowhere like

 

If I say to someone In a pub I bet you £50 it doesn't mean I'm betting every single person in the pub. I bet the forum not fucking dozens of people. You know what I meant but yeah £50 to charity if he miraculously leaves

The forum is made up of people like, and it's 3 people, not 40. I didn't know what you meant and neither did anyone else that took you up on the bet, because all you said was that you'd wager £50 on it and naturally people took the bet. [emoji38] Fair enough if you didn't mean that/are chicken.

Oh come he just said i bet £50 Rafa is still here, he didn't specify exactly what he meant, but of course he didn't mean everyone on here who took him up on the offer.

 

 

Add me to the list, i'd take him up on that bet as well.

Thought BBC were fair with him. Asked him if nufc was a happy club but he side stepped the question.

 

I think if he had made his mind up about leaving he’d be burning the house down around him.

 

Aye he's going nowhere like. Not a chance. Called it ages ago. £50 to charity if he does. Won't make much of a difference to us either way unfortunately till Ashley goes. I predict another 2 or 3 years or this with just slightly improving the squad each season with bargain deals

In the interests of not being needlessly confrontational what leads you to this conclusion?

 

I'll admit on some level I'm tempted to agree, Rafa is not behaving like it's all over but on the other hand the ball is in his court at the end of this season and he knows it. Ashley has fucked him multiple times so all good faith has gone, only way I see him staying is cast iron guarantees from Ashley on spending and he simply won't get it.

 

Possible 1 year extension I guess, last chance saloon style.

 

One thing no one should forget is how much Rafa loves the job and he might be reluctant to chuck 3 years away...

I believe it. £50 will be donated to charity if he somehow leaves. If not then nothing happens. Easy. There's just no way he's leaving

You say that, but don't believe it enough to put a bet on with the two people happy to bet £50 that he won't be here. So not that much. Very disappointing.

Ok I will take the bet will the 2 people then but nobody else as I actually only meant just £50 but yeah £50 with both people to be paid next summer. Or I can keep it as a donation to the foundation, whatever.

[emoji38] I was slightly on the wind up tbh, but fair play, I'll take you up on that bet.

Yeah basically he loves it. He can't get shafted anymore than he already has been and he's still here. He won't want to throw away all the work he has done. He would be making more negative noises now if he intended on leaving. He's saying he will see about a new contract in 2019.

 

The fact he is even debating staying for a second is fucking staggering so yeah I think he will stay on. Ashley will stay on obviously and we will just have a few years of a bargain bucket team been well organised and surviving but throwing the cups.

 

My prediction.

Again, I think the bit you're choosing to overlook is that with no contact Rafa holds the cards. Rafa signed the first contact in good faith and was fucked by Ashley multiple times.

 

That's a very big hurdle to jump and you seem keen to ignore it.

 

Again in it interests of being positive Ashley might sanction some spending next year in the face of possibly losing Rafa having made fortunes for 2 years.
