Scoot Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Is he that thick? When Rafa took over Newcastle, Spurs were already a top 4 side. We were about to be relegated. So to suggest Rafa should have us up there with Spurs is either a wind up or he's just fucking thick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Only thing that makes me think he's staying is almirion saying he only joined to work with Rafa.

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 i'm edging toward him staying now slightly i do wonder if he'll play proper hardball now as his contract will presumably expire end of june or whatever...agree a certain number of deals in principle by then or i'll not extend if he gets the basic demands he has he'll stay imo, likes it too much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Thing is, Rafa has worked hard on this squad and although it lacks star dust, it has an excellent nucleus of players. Players like Lejeune, Dubravka, Schar, Almiron and Rondon (if we can get another 12 months), are the starting point of something good. If they can just put the effort into getting Rafa 3 more quality players in the summer I.e more Almiron's less Muto's, he might decided to preserve with his project. FWIW, I don't think Rafa wants to leave, he just wants Charnley and Ashley yo show him that he's not wasting his time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 If I was Rafa the only way i would stay is if the board gave me complete control over transfers and specified a transfer budget at the start of every season + fees generated from player sales. Otherwise it's just more seasons of perpetual frustration and being totally in the dark. Even if that meant stipulating no players over the age of 26 unless they cost less than £3m. Or capping wages at £50k per week. Even if that budget is only £25m per season, doesn't matter. Rafa is the most qualified man at the club to be making decisions on players and keeping him in the dark about transfers and budgets makes no sense whatsoever. Leaving it all to Charnley and that other stooge is a fucking mockery! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 He, bizarrely, sounds like he might stay. He's always wanted to stay, but he'll want a team that can at least compete with the top end clubs. All he's said there is that he's got a couple of players which will help, but reading between the lines, he will want a few more in the Almiron category for him to sign on again. If anything, Charnley's divulging of the club dithering over costs might make him realise he's fighting a losing battle. We could have had Almiron a year ago ffs.
