Guest covmag Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 They have allowed him to leave. Managed out of the business, Rafa Benitez. Let that sink in and then decide if you still turn up at SJP to support the owner. If you do ....well, words fail me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 2. I think he's probably done. Dunno if I can keep following the team under Ashley now tbh, he's gonna get replace with some complete fucking joker you just know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyne81 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 All Ashley dependent, I'm still fairly confident the takeover might happen but aye, Ashley In a sadistic way Ashley staying and Rafa walking but be the clean break therapy I need.

Mr Logic Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Time to change title back to Relegationometer, (or whhatever it was). Current odds on BetFair 4/6 Sheff Utd EVS Norwich 9/5 Aston Villa 21/10 Burnley 21/10 Brighton 11/4 Newcastle 4/1 Bournemouth Seems too soon to lump on, but by league start we might be evens. 10/1 to finish bottom.

Obviously struggle for goals mind Aye, I agree our defence is decent (although how much of that was down to Rafa remains to be seen) but just going back through previous seasons just a decent defence isn't usually enough to save you if your attack is toothless. If you're in the bottom 3 for goals scored it's about a 60% chance of relegation (about 65% if you're bottom three for goals conceded). Considering our current squad managed a whopping 16 goals between them (14 if Hayden and Longstaff leave), it's not looking great without significant investment. 2018/19 we had the seventh best defence in the league and the 16th best attack. Our two top scorers from that 16th best attack have left and the tactician generally credited with getting us organised and hard to beat has left. I reckon we're bollixed personally.

Mattoon Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Can't see anything but a slow and painful relegation for this lot, toothless up front and our expert defensive organiser has left. We won't be half as effective in defence and less than that in attack without Perez and Rondon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
