Bimpy474 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why wouldn't he go to China? Has he had any other offers? I was told by someone who worked under Rafa (not inner circle but on the football side) that he’d turned Juve down. Caulkin is suggesting that Rafa knew he would be leaving for a while. I have to admit that on the face of things it’s all very strange. I can understand some of the players and fans may feel let down, Mackems will be loving it. I guess Rafa has simply had enough, good luck to him, can’t say I’m too happy that he’s going to China though. Dress it up like you want but money seems to have talked in that decision. So, what's your point ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poor Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Full of s*** rafa if he goes to China this is exactly what i meant. good way of spotting the doyles at least Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 He used to prioritise a English job because he said that him working on the continent had been very hard on his family in the Wirral. Seems odd therefore to decide to get a one bedroom flat in some random Chinese city. I'm disappointed in any notable European football figure going to China, doesn't take long for most of them to realise that it's pretty unfulfilling, football in a half empty stadium that nobody's interested in. Yeah yeah, I get it, they get paid a lot of money, because the mugs who settle for Juventus are going short. That's sod all to do with him leaving NUFC btw. He's 100% right to tell those cunts to fuck off and it amazes me he didn't do it earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 "When I came to Newcastle, they gave me the plans for the new training ground, I was talking to the architect about changing a few things,' he continued. 'And after three years... they painted the walls." Don't give this man any stick for where he has chosen to go, he doesn't deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Getting slated by some our fans for going to China, morons. I reckon the reason he's not waiting around for new owners is because he knows the takeover is bullshit, which it will prove to be imo, dreadfully bad this. I'm a bit dissapointed in him tbf. I adored the man but he was building something good here. I wanted to see Almiron and Longstaff under him for a full season and I think top 10 was still a realistic goal for next season. Just seems a shame to chuck all what we had here away to go to some bad Chinese team. Wtf?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavMcEl Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Always enjoy reading balanced opinion from other clubs forums. Here's Rangers take on it; https://www.followfollow.com/forum/threads/rafa-benitez-releases-statement-after-leaving-newcastle-united.80288/ No they are not like us, they accept an owner who is using their club as a vessel to sell sports goods! In our times of trouble we rallied together against the spivs, thats why we are an Institution and NUFC are a football club. Summed up pretty well There also an "institution" who forced members of staff out for marrying Roman Catholics... and who took over 100 odd years before employing a catholic... I member reading the amount of supporters who cancelled season tickets because they signed mo Johnston.... they're an institution I would rather not be compared too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Surprised he's gone there. Have no issue with it personally just as I had no issue with players going there either. Also think people overestimate the kind of jobs he could get in Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 that interview clearly states he would have stayed given assurances. unfortunately it's also easy fodder for those who want to criticise him. think Ashley/charnley will be giving a big sigh of relief - and even be delighted with it. think rafa should have gone in harder, or not at all. just giving cretins an excuse to have a go at him.

Wullie Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Money definitely talked, but can we really blame someone for taking that kind of cash that sets up their children for the rest of their life? I don't think less of him for it I must admit, I get properly 'triggered' by this phrase. a) he's a multi millionaire, his kids are already in that position, and their kids b) is that what all rich people want for their children, not to ever work and just sit round all day spending money they didn't earn? Seems a weird point of view for a guy like Benitez who loves work so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a weird point of view for a guy like Benitez who loves work so much. a. it's still a significantly larger amount of money, perspective changes at different levels of income b. yeah I'd say that's pretty much what they want, it's how society works It's more a safety net than anything, and all it takes is a few years of discomfort.

Why exactly, China isnt the best league in the world by any stretch of the imagination but he has a Project to take a side languishing near the bottom of the league to potential league champions. Pretty sure the exact opposite will have went on in negotiations over there to the bullshit he has had to endure here, they probably have heaps of ambition.
