Kanj Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 You'd 100% see a far more ruthless Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thumbheed Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Be nice to just viably have the choice to do more than one style of play rather than needing to be backs to the wall Been reading alot of ''boring football" jibes about Rafa which seems strange when we were so good second half of last season. Also nice to have a side that's so well drilled, literally never seen that in all my time as a newcastle united fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Rafa with a big budget behind him sends me from six to midnight in the old trouser department. The big beautiful Spanish sod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 A stadium roar with a takeover of new owners and Rafa smiling at the crowd pitch side. Fucking hell. Tears. Pure tears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Rafa with money? You arent seeing the same type of football we saw with Ashley backing. You wouldnt have labelled Liverpool boring or conservative under him. When necessary sure but there isnt another manager I'd want here. As Rafalove says, he is capable of building a club from the ground up. We dont need someone who won't get the area, fanbase and club. There might be sexier choices but I'd have Rafa back in a heartbeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I just can't stand the fucktards who associate Rafa's time here with boring football. Didn't they the type of players that Ashley granted him to buy? The transfer funds he had? We would have gone down in any of Rafa's seasons here with the group of players we had under any other manager trying to play 'front-foot football'. And they totally forget our current no.9 was rejected by Rafa only to be brought here by the kebab, bacon eating dinosour and see how that one's turned out.

Hopefully if Rafa comes back, all the morons who think he was boring and prefer Bruce can fuck off and make way for all those fans who boycotted because of Ashley.

KaKa Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Rafa coming back with backing would be phenomenal man. Has to happen please. The guy just gets it and already had such a great understanding of the club and all the folks involved with it. Would be so special man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Yeah, his football could be boring. It was frustrating as fuck losing games 1-0 in the final minutes. But you work with what you got. He was still overperforming with that squad and when it worked, it really fucking worked. When Almiron came in, we were starting to see some really fluid, telepathic attacking play. The likes I've been missing since the Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa trifecta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 said it before and i'll say it again, we need a structural rebuild from youth scouting/coaching up all the way through to training facilities and senior recruitment there's noone i'd want more in world football to do this than rafa tbph Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If there's going to be basically unlimited funds I'd want someone more attacking than Rafa tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Would have Rafa back in a heartbeat, would be interesting to see how he buys and sets up a British team when he's actually got decent funds and isn't operating under the conditions of just trying to survive.

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 If there's going to be basically unlimited funds I'd want someone more attacking than Rafa tbh a rafa team with quality defenders so he can play a 4, plus a torres level striker and world class number 10 would be a sight to behold i reckon some of the football we played in a short time with almiron/rondon/perez was absolutely lush Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 I do honestly think he will be Staveley's primary target. He was a huge factor in her negotiations in 2017 and all 3 of her bids were dependent on him staying (I think). All depends on whether he'd leave Dalian early really, but I do think the new regime will want him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How sweet would that taste for him? He must have felt thwarted/a sense of defeat at not being allowed to finish his 'project'. Or at least have had a sore head from banging it against obstinate Ashley (... which, thinking about it literally, would also be be pretty sweet!).
