Takeover or not ffs get this man signed up, anything other than him signing a new deal is fucking mental.

 

Why do we have the only owner in the world who would let Rafa go at the end of this season.

 

Well while there are owners who are awful, we have definitely got ourselves the thickest fucker in football.

 

you can have a thick owner and make it work.

unfortunately we've the thickest, tightest, most unambitous owner with the thickest arse-licking yes men as advisors.

 

Yep  O0  Just a little common sense and it could be so different, that's a broken record comment if there ever was one. The fat mess will never see the potential that's right under his nose.

Rafa's problem is that he is asking for things from Ashley to make NUFC a better team/club. That's the worst thing to do as Ashley reacts badly to demands.

To manage NUFC, you have to shut up and work with what you're given and that's just not Rafa. There's not a chance in hell that Ashley is fighting to keep him.

 

That's why I'm happy that we've got Rafa, he aint just gonna shut up and be satisfied with no ambition whatever.

 

Such a vindication for fans after being told to be appreciative of a train of yes men.

Remarkable that Rafa Benitez has won the most points outside the Big 6 in the last 25 Premier League matches.

 

More points than pundit favourites Wolves and big spenders Leicester, Everton and West Ham.

Eddie Howe though :hello:

We had a brutal set of opening fixtures, which means that most of our toughest games aren't included in those 25, but the other teams will have much harder games in those 25.

Not that Rafa isn't fucking great mind.

Difficult to argue with the numbers - we probably are the 7th best side over that period.

In fairness some of the earlier games were quite bizarre and so often we were just a rub of the green or a wrong decision from registering more points, so overall we should probably be top ten.

Our recruitment over the last year or so, while typically unspectacular, has been very shrewd indeed and overall much more positive than many clubs who way outspent us and that was probably a point Rafa was getting across last night in a really positive and clever interview.

Even against the top clubs in those first half dozen games we were maybe one moment in the game from a result.

Yep, Man Utd away is probably the most glaring of all, but Spurs, Chelsea, Brighton and even Cardiff away, where we were awful, we could easily have had more points board.

Then there's Wolves home and away, Man Utd home and many others where it was an very fine margin from gaining and extra point or two. I'm not implying we were always the better side in those games, just that we were very, very close to better results.

Mad to think that if we had got the wins over Wolves which we arguably deserved, we'd be 3 points above them. I know it's pretty useless to think in those terms, but just shows the small margins this season, where Wolves have been considered a success and we have struggled by many accounts.

8 of the 11 starters tonight cost under £5m, plus Dummett from the Academy.

 

:lol:

 

One of our best midfield options Longstaff wasn't even available and he cost the massive sum of £0m.

There is no way he will leave us for Fulham, but if (when) Ashley screws him over in the summer and he's out of a job I can defiantly see him going there.
