Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)

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.

 

Psst, everyone. This is the same smooth brain that defended Pardew, didn't like Ben Arfa, loved Sammy Ameobi, and regularly slags off Kevin Keegan.

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.

 

I'm absolutely staggered he still goes to games and gets next to no stick. Not advocating any violence obviously but what the fuck, he sits there basically with nothing coming his way.

 

get on with it then. we will watch on whilst you take one for the team and take him out.

People don’t care enough because they still give him money, they ain’t gonna care enough to get a life time ban and a criminal record

Fucking struggling today like.

 

Overriding emotion is one of pure disgust.

 

Feel like i've been punched in the gut.

 

Goodbye, Newcastle United.

 

Can't sleep, fuming.

 

Fuck everything.

 

Not trying to be funny or downplay your suffering or anything but I just find posts like this so odd. This has been going on for 11 years now. If you didn't 100% know this was coming at some stage, you've been very naive. It's like being devastated about your wife's 47th affair having known about the other 46. It's not going to stop anytime soon so I would brace yourself for more heartache or, much more sensibly, just toss it off altogether.

 

I disagree, understand ToonArmy1892 completely. Rafa brought feelings that had been missing for years. Hope, belief, pride, dignity. Those feelings go with him. Many of us started to believe in a bright future for this club, especially with talks of a takeover floating about. A future with Rafa and without Ashley.

There ain't no takeover and there never was.

Do people remember Ashley's public apology to him on Sky?

 

I'm sure they'll appoint Allardyce. Think of all the corrupt deals our overlords can freely engage in.

 

he sacked the one man he really wants. i.e. someone to finish 17th no matter what. the apology is the first step to getting him back.

I hope he rips these c***s to shreds. Rafa lifting the lid on these utter b******s might stir the catatonic happy clappers into action. Wishful thinking.

 

He should and needs to but I don't think he will. Keegan did and it didn't make a difference to the sheep anyway
