Minhosa Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Fucking Luke Edwards hasn't stopped defending the cabbage heeded prick since day one. Also, note how he was the first journo to link SB with the job............ Not so hidden agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Another day, another dig from Luke He's clearly not been paying attention. I've been watching Newcastle for over 25 years and can't recall us ever having less issues with injuries than when Rafa was here. At times in our history we've had epidemic levels of injuries but was never more than a handful the last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Another day, another dig from Luke He came across as an absolute twat on the true faith podcast. Amongst other things, he reckons Rafa is 25% to blame for the mess we're in this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LV Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 TalkSport this morning continuing the propaganda that Rafa went for money only. Allardyce also saying that Rafa got more patience than Bruce after a difficult start because of Rafa’s PR skills. Had to turn it off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Another day, another dig from Luke So stupid. Just look at Rafa’s history of injuries at Liverpool. If you read Rafa’s website he talks about not pushing players to more than 85%, specifically to prevent injuries and fatigue. This is important to Rafa, because he likes a small squad.

Kanj Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I decided to finally listen to the TF podcast post Arsenal that had Luke Edwards as the featured guest. So let me say this first and foremost, most of us are not privy to the off the record stuff the local press hears, so I can understand that there are interpretations of those comments, body language etc. but one thing I can’t seem to understand guys like Edwards can’t get their head around is that Rafa has ultimately said one of the main reasons he left for his Chinese club is that the owner, chairman etc all absolutely wanted Rafa and his staff and spent ages courting him. They paid whatever it took to get him, they listen to him, they have ambitious plans for their club that a self professed football addict like Rafa would love, they consult him on those long and short term plans, and most importantly they trust and value him as the elite world class football manager that he has proven to be over his illustrious career. So compare that to the Championship season January transfer window and onwards; fucked about on Andros, Ashley pulls 30m out of the club, slow transfers and not much to spend each window, fucked about on Rondon, ages to sign Almiron - supposed control he had looks like only words on a paper. He can only essentially veto deals but can’t push his targets through. Wage structure piss poor. Sees colleagues in the PL getting more than he does in terms of football investment. He says he needs improvements to academy and training ground - it’s not up to standards of a football club like NUFC in the PL and he’s told it’s adequate. This is from a glorified accountant turned Chairman and an owner of a horrendous retail umbrella company. There is no trust. There is no value. There is no respect for one of UEFA’s elite coaches, there is no gratitude that this man has got you PL football back and turns profits on your speculative acquisitions. Each summer we don’t invest into the first team we’re losing ground, Rafa thought. He wanted this club to fly high and be a top 6 club again and had a plan to get it there over a few years....yet Rafa is to blame for going for “money?” Ha!

Guest chopey Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Just on reading the Peter Crouch book and he's basically said the same as most players that have worked under Rafa, 100% professional, every time you went on the pitch you felt totally prepared, not much fun but a football master.
