gazza ladra Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Did I miss something? Were people banned, Red & White Kop-style, for crticizing Benitez? Not only that...literally dragged from their homes and had the insubordination kicked out of them. oh that, thought I was just daydreaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 45 people were banned, and fucking Dave, the tyrant he is shipped them off to an internment camp. I personally support his purge, because I feel threatened by the folks who tell it how it is. I feel like my ability to tell it strictly how it isn't is being threatened by those who tell it exactly like it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It has to be happening. Rafa would have walked by now or based on results Ashley would have sacked him. Its happening its just nufc have to look like a ridiculous outfit in everything we attempt to do, It helps the media make us look even more stupid than we actually are at getting anything done. Tradition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look certainties for the drop it wont be either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 It’s happening and will happen, I just feel we won’t get enough money to sign the quality needed and even then it’s perhaps too late in the day to help our cause. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 As this has replaced the Ashley thread it seems most appropriate to post this here. This is just my take on things and the way in which we as fans need to stick together with a fundamental point that everyone acknowledges, but falls by the wayside when we're all once again bumping the Rafa, Joselu, Dummett etc threads - All of this, every single bit of this, is Mike Ashley's fault. That's so obvious a statement that it should be seen as patronising, but time and time again people will talk about the tactics, the signings, the team selection, the players, and now Rafa, all being partially blamed under the proviso of 'yes it's Ashley's fault but Rafa, the players etc should be doing more.' - to me that's total bollocks, you either accept that the squad is nowhere near good enough - which is down to Ashley - or you think the players are good enough and the blame lies with Rafa. I can't see how you can possibly have it both ways. Bang on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the sale happens and we go down, I'll take that on the chin. It'll be fuckin ridiculous (if we go down), but I'll be able to deal with it knowing the future isn't already down the shitter.

Thomson Mouse Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Forum narrative = 18 pages of discussion about the merits of such an approach. It wasn't a discussion the other night, negative/alternative opinions weren't allowed or were ridiculed. I'm just trying to promote some balance here. He his working with his hands tied (like last year) but (like last year) he isn't making things easy for himself. Weren't allowed f***ing drama queens of the highest order.

Dokko Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think it’ll go through sometime next month however we still won’t have a pot to piss in and will be in a relegation battle all season. I’ve seen nothing to suggest these lot are no different to Ashley, business first and football second. Same bullshit noises Ashley made when he first arrived and we all lapped it up. Ready made excuse when we do fuck all in this window, hands were tied with takeover, then the next window will be well we’ve now been relegated and it changes things, must cut our cloth accordingly.

I think our new owner or owners will be far more ambitious than Ashley ever has been or will. I don't imagine we will see mega money being spent, however. I think it was be gradual growth with an emphasis on investing on infrastructure, the academy etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven’t understood announcing this would give us a much needed lift and some hope amongst fans for real change. Instead we roll in to tomorrow with no new players which is negligent in our current situation. All their decisions so far have been money first. We’ve had 10 years of that, it hasn’t worked.
