Shearergol Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 He won’t say anything other than remaining focussed on what his team have to do on the pitch, and say he doesn’t know about any transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It doesn't take a great deal of intelligence when your two main traits are having lots of money and not spending any money. Being rich doesn't mean you know anything about running a football club and if you don't take Ashley as an example, there are plenty of others who prove that at other clubs. His biggest failing was never putting a proper professional management coaching/player scouting structure in place. His never ending reliance on clowns and deadbeats and in the case of some just conmen. He employs those people across the board, presumably because he's all of those traits himself. Ashley was well known for his fake closing down sales, during Shitdirect's infancy, to crush local independent stores. Serial conman attracting likeminded dealers (to Sports Direct United). No surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well there goes the theory that he'd walk straight away. More and more likely we've got 18 months left with him I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinho lad Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 He'll see out the season and, assuming we stay up, he will stick around to see if the cunt will actually provide him with enough resources during the summer. If he doesn't, he'll leave and consequently put the club in yet another disastrous situation. (Which wouldn't be Rafa's fault and more than understandable that he would look elsewhere.)

sh74 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 The wheels are already in motion. Gary Monk visiting the training ground to 'learn' off Rafa according to the Chronicle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think Rafa will stay until the summer at least. If we stay up, we start this all over again but without PL doubts and with info on the new TV deal. Feeling nowhere near as down as Tuesday night, for example.

To me Rafa looks a very good fit for what they need. Hopefully they'll be too up themselves to even consider it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Rafa looks a very good fit for what they need. Hopefully they'll be too up themselves to even consider it. They'll be fine, it's clear for a long time now the team isn't playing for him and tactically they are a mess. At almost any club except ours probably a change would have been made years ago. Assuming of course they don't replace him with a McClaren equivalent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal are a bigger board room mess then us and there is a huge power struggle going on at board room level. It's having a massive effect on the whole club, cannot see Rafa wanting to be involved in that after $shley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well there goes the theory that he'd walk straight away. More and more likely we've got 18 months left with him I think. Rafa is staying until the summer atleast. He’ll stay on in the summer for as long as PCP are confident of concluding a deal to buy us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just not sure PCP would still be interested in us if we went down. It’s becoming clear that Rafa brought PCP to NUFC, and as long as they are involved with us then Rafa will be here.

Shelveys Hair Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Im starting to believe Rafa maybe more involved in this takeover then we're led to believe. He supposedly approached the club offering his services.. we're a prime candidate for a takeover, just look whats happening to the city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reuben brothers have owned land/buildings in the city for years. Currently there is no real plans for the land they own, apart from one building being turned into hotel and restaurants. Some of the land is being temporarily turned into a box park. As it stands they don’t appear to have a grand vision for their assets in Newcastle city centre.

Robster Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 He's such a brilliant diplomat. So different to Keegan in that Keegan wore his heart on his sleeve and was so emotive, he couldn't hold his feelings in. I can imagine that Ashley won't like that he's not getting a public bite out of Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
