steve_69 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm over it already. Not in the slightest bit surprised and it means i can now go back to my pre-Rafa state of apathy and get the fuck on with my life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

polkaDot Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was never comfortable with Rafa's strategy of trying to use his popularity with the supporters to squeeze concessions out of Ashley. Well then everything has gone perfectly for you, enjoy polishing Ashley's hoop. Feel sorry for you and don’t take this the wrong way, but apparently knowing full well the extent of Ashley’s cuntishness, why did you get drawn back in? The arrival of a world class manager? a situation no one thought possible under the current owner? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pandamninator Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was never comfortable with Rafa's strategy of trying to use his popularity with the supporters to squeeze concessions out of Ashley. If you don't trust the people you're working with, then go. He's been here three years so he must know who he's working with. The takeover has complicated things because we really need a caretaker, but there's no-one at the club to fulfil that role. So presumably we're looking at someone who is prepared to come in for what may only be a matter of weeks. Shock, the man who's wallpaper is that photo of Mike Ashley dancing topless in a bar was upset that Rafa was saying mean things about the ownership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 So for the next incoming 'person' will have loads to contend with: 1) you are not Rafa 2) you can only bring in one assistant/coach 3) we only want you to work with kids under 25/24yrs old 4) you are not Rafa 4) you wont have final say (or any say) on transfers 5) "your" transfer budget will be the lowest in the league 6) as soon as it's goes 'south' you're a dead man walking 7) press/fans will be all over you (goldfish bowl effect for want of a better word) 8) you're not Rafa! 9) a takeover *may* be in the pipeline at some point so probably best just to stay in a hotel 10) you will receive no real support from those above you 11) oh, and you're not one of the best managers in the world! Anyone taking it either has balls of steel or more likely is a fucking pussy desperate for a fisting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 He needs to feel fear in respect of his ownership of the club. If you recall when he first took us down, he wrote an open letter in the press (the S*n I think from memory) where he cried about his mistakes and about how his family had recieved threats etc and for us not to worry as he was getting rid of it and we'd be shot of him soon etc). This clearly pacified the masses as he held on to us and consequently made a shitload of cash in the meantime. My feeling is that he's not felt fear since. If boycott's won't bother him then other, more aggressive approaches, might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Imagine what the players will think once they come back. From being coached by an elite team, to pardew-esque levels of shitness. Bring back the long willi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
