Guest chopey Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Newcastle United is toxic for managers and a stepping stone for players that move on to the likes of Fulham and Palace, I just can't see why Rafa is still associated with us !!! its not doing him or us any good, and it wont be long now until the Soccer Saturday pundits and support the team boo boys are calling for his head.

It's doing us good as we would likely be in the champo if he never stayed and the slender losses now would turn into hammerings. However the last part of your post is what I feared before the season started and one I wanted him to avoid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsprillasShinPad Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Our squad is horrific and he signed most of it, but he has done so because he has no other choice. He has been forced to ensure we have bodies and try to improve them which he has for quite a few, but so difficult when every player needs improving to average. We are good defensively but the front 4 players are shocking. Let's be honest if he leaves there really is no point in supporting this club, because if he isn't backed then who will be - McLaren or Pardew again For him it must be like playing Championship manager with £0, then getting sacked and all the fans blaming you for signing only dog-shit free agents. Pure AIDS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Playing complete devil's advocate, that table would look a bit different if our summer 2015 business was taken into account on the spend, considering that a significant part of which contributed to our incomings in the 2016 close season (Wijnaldum, Janmaat).

ScottishMagpie Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Doing the rounds on FB - is this Giggs? "For those in doubt to the miracle Rafa is pulling off by having us in the Premiership and finishing 10th, here is our net spend since Rafa joined for both Premiership and Championship clubs." wow totally ludicrous Don't do social media but if I did that would be getting re-posted all over the place. Fucking shocking! No, in fact no words can't describe that. Thanks Mike you fat fuck! Take your curry and shove it up your hole! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would, but a lot of that summer 2015 money was what we'd built up over previous seasons when we were making a profit. Also, I think our figure should also be more like minus £30m not £46m. Would be interesting to see a net spend table compared to all clubs since Ashley bought the club, if somebody could be arsed.

Tubestationatmidnight Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Thing is even if we had spent day 75m more over the last 2 summers we would still be below stoke Burnley etc and that's still a disgrace but we would all be content with that and there would be zero protests As I've always said our expectations are so low now and we are still miles away from them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Unfortunately, tables like that aren't going to be seen by the majority of the fans, they won't understand a lot of the more shady stunts he's pulled either, like deliberately putting obstacles in the way of decent sponsors so he can continue to push his own shitty brand for maximum exposure. Everyone has an idea he's milking the club, but he manages to hide a lot of it with his spiv accounting practices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that's part of the reason no buyer has agreed terms with Ashley yet? A bit like the Brexit bullshit going on at the minute. New buyer wants complete freedom to run the club, Ashley insists that the SD signs stay up free of charge for the next 20 years... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsprillasShinPad Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Just had a flashback to the early/mid 2000's when Martin O'Neill's name kept getting banded around as our next manager. Then remembered we still have Rafa. And that Kineear/Carver/Pardew/MacLaren actually happened. Apparently if/when Rafa goes, MoN is a frontrunner for the job. Will be shut, but probably less shut than some of the utter cancer we've had over the last few years. Probably end up with Dennis Wise and relegation to League 2.
