Numbers Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Love Rafa, but I've lost a bit of respect for him, I must admit. Not that I blame him for leaving, but China ffs. Oh well. Why exactly, China isnt the best league in the world by any stretch of the imagination but he has a Project to take a side languishing near the bottom of the league to potential league champions. Pretty sure the exact opposite will have went on in negotiations over there to the bullshit he has had to endure here, they probably have heaps of ambition.

1892er Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In a way, I'm glad he's gone to China. Couldn't bare to see him at West Ham or the likes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Who are all these new members. It can’t be coincidence they rattle off similar shite. Mackems? That or people who want to try to influence opinion of fans against Rafa for some reason or another. Wonder how much they get paid? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 He used to prioritise a English job because he said that him working on the continent had been very hard on his family in the Wirral. Seems odd therefore to decide to get a one bedroom flat in some random Chinese city. I'm disappointed in any notable European football figure going to China, doesn't take long for most of them to realise that it's pretty unfulfilling, football in a half empty stadium that nobody's interested in. Yeah yeah, I get it, they get paid a lot of money, because the mugs who settle for Juventus are going short. That's sod all to do with him leaving NUFC btw. He's 100% right to tell those c***s to f*** off and it amazes me he didn't do it earlier. Sums it up for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Couldn't give a shit if he's going to China, it's completely irrelevant and changes nothing about my opinion of him at all considering he's been focused on staying here and what he wanted to do here. It's the obvious move - go for the high paying job that's been offered and move onto another job later in a year or whatever. He'll get plenty of offers.

Numbers Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Aye, he's gone to China for the 'project' howay Money aside, stay here and endure scrapping for safety every season for Mike Ashley or go to China for an owner who is ambitious and wants to win the league? Pretty sure I'd be off to China and adding another league title to my CV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 China's a bizarre decision if there's truth in it, goes against almost everything I thought I knew about Benitez. He cares a lot about football and nobody out there gives the slightest stuff. I think he'll regret it within weeks and be back in Europe within months. 3x the money to further set his family up for life whilst getting a break from a draining PL run with MA and his cronies giving him the run around. Maybe sitting out a 1-2 years whilst dust settles in the PL so he can return? Exactly man, I'd up and move to just about anywhere in the world for a year with the promise of £12m after tax. It'll be nothing more than a stop gap job and his kids are set for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait and what if nothing comes along, he's a workaholic and wants to work, football is his oxygen. And he'll put as much work in for his new club as he has for his previous ones. You doubting him is pathetic, that opinion not you personally like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Why wouldn't he go to China? Has he had any other offers? I was told by someone who worked under Rafa (not inner circle but on the football side) that he’d turned Juve down. Caulkin is suggesting that Rafa knew he would be leaving for a while. I have to admit that on the face of things it’s all very strange. I can understand some of the players and fans may feel let down, Mackems will be loving it. I guess Rafa has simply had enough, good luck to him, can’t say I’m too happy that he’s going to China though. Dress it up like you want but money seems to have talked in that decision. So, what's your point ? Rafa made a big thing about a project and money not being a problem. I’d much preferred he’d gone to a competitive league, improved them, won trophies and shown Ashley what football is really about. I can’t believe that Rafa has gone there for the challenge or the football and that’s disappointing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wandy Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 This really isn't good news for the takeover happening. If Benitez had any inkling that it was happening soon he would have stuck around so it really does sound like it's miles off/not happening. And even if it's true that he has gone to China because he knows that BZG don't want him then we will be getting new owners who know fuck all about football. Great stuff.
