Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 "Keegan was so right to walk away from this kind of treatment. Why should he let the snakes above him in the boardroom use his name, leadership, talents, etc, to maintain the status quo whilst they screw over an entire city in their quest for greed? " That's the best post I have seen on it. Rafa needs to go for the good of the cloob and himself. There is nothing left to fight for Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Sounds like he is quite content with been shafted. If mclaren or pardew said them quotes they would be crucified. Have some dignity and go Rafa. What happened to all the " Rafa won't let them take the piss" etc. He's gave up 2 summers for nowt he's been messed around more than anyone before him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Rafa is also a calculated and far less reactionary human being than the likes of Keegan. Rafa may be seething inside but he’s not going to let that impact his team’s mentality. He’s not stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

donmaths Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If he walks away, he has to pay 6 million pounds to Ashley, right? Unless another club is willing to buy out his contract, what options does hehave? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Stockholm syndrome at its finest. Yep. Very dissapointed in him. Been shafted and just takes it. Keep mike on the gravy train. I reckon he will sign a new deal as well and be here for another 2/3 years of this.

What happened to all the " Rafa won't let them take the piss" etc. He's gave up 2 summers for nowt he's been messed around more than anyone before him You, my friend, come across as such a reactionary moron. Can you not see the difference between Pardew and Rafa is that Pardew would be complicit in the summer we've just had, Rafa has been fighting for us. He's been energising the fan base to try to make a difference. He doesn't want to leave. He loves the club, that much is clear. I think, deep down, he is holding on in blind hope that we will be sold. In the meantime he's just getting on with the job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only job in hand though is to keep the man who shafted him on the gravy train for another year. That's it. Yes pardew would be complicit and Rafa gave up his summer holiday again but maybe more fool him as he hasn't learnt off last year. He just sounds too content with what has happened. Total disgrace and he seems ok with it. There just feels nothing to get behind anymore club feels dead. I think he knows Ashley is going nowhere and I can see him signing a new deal and having a few more summer windows like we have just had. Rafa gets adored and a huge salary and uncle mike stays on the gravy train. Everyone wins but us again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 If he really did hate Ashley he just know if he left he could cause him a load of grief.

Rafa gets adored and a huge salary and uncle mike stays on the gravy train. Everyone wins but us again That has to be the most skewed view on the situation that I've read so far. Congratulations. Why should Rafa walk? He loves the club, loves his job. It is those above him who are accountable. Maybe he feels that the longer he is here, with the fans on his side, the more we can collectively ramp the pressure up on Ashley. Rafa knows that if he walks, the hopes of a city go with him. Some will protest, yes, but most will be thrown straight back into the apathetic mindset that came before. Rafa is the only manager we've had in my living memory to have come out swinging for the owners whilst still working here. He's trying to change the club from the inside. He knows it's potential. But it's potential is gone if he goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
