Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

How? Club would have the knowledge that they’ve got him for a year each season and he’d have to serve a year’s notice to leave.

 

Rafa gets a bit flexibility in that he can walk with just a year’s notice at any point if he feels messed about.

Its what Sir Bobby had and he got fucked over good and proper

 

His got changed from a one year rolling contract to a standard one year contract before the 04/05 season. We knew either way that at the end of that season he’d be likely to go.

Reckon there’ll be a sort of compromise and he gets a one-year rolling contract?

 

said this the other week, if the club had any intention of keeping him this would have already happened - sign for a year, not happy with the business we do for you fuck off after a season

 

should be the easiest thing in the world but as ever ashley will hide behind them not wanting to back a manager who wouldn't commit etc.

I get the reluctance of spending an increased amount to merely improve one or two places. It makes perfect sense when you only look at it that way.

 

And of course he’ll say, I don’t have the money available to fund a push for the CL spots.

 

What he doesn’t seem to get is that by losing this manager he could potentially lose more than it would cost to fund a push for those places so why not just have a gamble ffs..

I'm going to enjoy myself on Saturday night, say goodbye to St James and thank you Rafa.

Weird feeling really. If he does go, it feels a bit like we never had him. I mean we obviously did and there's been some fabulous moments, but he's never been allowed to get going. Both he and us as fans will be left wondering what the whole point of those three years really were; it's certainly been a waste of time from his (footballing, rather than financial) point of view.

The Barnsley game was fantastic, people just walking around Newcastle after the match smiling at each other and talking about what could be with a few quid invested

If he was staying it would be sorted by now, absolutely no point dragging it out, it's Shearer all over again.
