Cronky Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 If you're a Newcastle fan and you don't think Rafa was an absolute diamond who should have been the best thing to happen to the club since Bobby, you're a fucking dickhead, to be frank. And/or: if you think his demands and expectations of the club towards him and 'the project' were anything other than reasonable, ambitious and entirely in the best interests of the club, you're also a fucking dickhead. Finally, if you think Bruce in any way compares favourably with the guy, you're a dickhead with an egg on top. Not aimed at anyone on here, BTW. 100%. I watch and listen to SBR and Rafa and look at what we have now and weep. We had gold in our hands and let it slip through our fingers, for what? Interesting comparison. Sir Bob took us from bottom of the league to three successive top five finishes and the last 16 of the Champions League. But at that point, the vast majority of the posters on this site (as with many other supporters) thought he was an old git who had lost the plot and were clamouring for his dismissal. Rafa took us to 10th place, moved on to the Chinese League, and was mourned as a god. In Sir Bob's case, we really did have gold and didn't realise it. I don't think the evidence is quite as strong with Rafa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the evidence is quite as strong with Rafa. SBR arrived in September we finished 11th. The following season we finished 11th. From that point he kicked on, thanks in no small part to being allowed to bring in players he wanted and having the benefit of some pretty handy players on the books when he arrived. Maybe if Rafa had stayed for an equivalent period of time with a more supportive board you'd have your evidence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Mike Ashley and his legion of crabs that he hired to work for the club have done nothing but talk this club down and almost strangle any idea of competitive football or achievement. The exceptions being KK, Rafa and Hughton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It's what baffles me with these tinpot pundits insisting we give Bruce a chance, " he deserves a chance" !!! What pedigree does Bruce have for building a club from the ground up ? Our next manager needs to have a vision for the next 5 years not a one season firefighter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 The only pedigree he has is the pedigree chum he bought for his packed lunch. He is a lower prem manager who just goes through the motions, his football never improves and he has never built a legacy anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
