STM Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 There's no way it will be a long contract. Rafa won't commit to anything over 3 years with these goones. My guess would be a two year extension and a pay rise. They will probably give him the same assurances as last summer I.e "money the club generates", with the exception that we should have much more money due to premiership tv money.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Unless he's absolutely shafted like Keegan then I don't see him leaving anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 He's such a ridiculously charming man. Love the cheeky smile when joking about bringing Iniesta here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Another shout for Rafa as MoTY...espn gets it. http://www.espn.co.uk/football/club/newcastle-united/361/blog/post/3473639/newcastles-rafa-benitez-should-be-manager-of-the-year-for-saving-the-clubs-soul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 IMO : New contract till 2021 No increase in wages, maybe a few bonuses Undisclosed transfer funds for this summer and beyond (but good enough for him to re-sign) Done by the end of May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really, either way Ashley needs to keep Rafa on board, even if it costs him more than he'd like in wages, more than he's like in say of transfers but what he won't budge on is putting money in to the club. Its all down to being able to spend what we've earned, if Rafa doesn't have a problem with that then there is no reason this doesn't go well for us all.

Consortium of one Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 5 years, a gazillion pounds. I'd fly over from the States to give whatever I could afford. Love the man. For me he represents the best in sport because he does it for the fans. If I ever get to Newcastle to see a game I hope he is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think both Rafa and Ashley will stay. Despite all the money coming in, buying a Premiership club is still a risky investment. We've seen the way that salaries and transfer fees eat up so much of a club's income, because of the necessity of staying up, or reaching the Champions League. Unless there's a way of reducing the financial gap between Premiership and Championship, and Champions League and Premiership, clubs will still be under a lot of pressure to take risks. At one stage, Americans were keen to get involved, but they'll be looking at the likes of Lerner and Short, who poured millions into their clubs and ended up relegated and on the end of harsh criticism.
