Robster Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 0 I'm not convinced that the meeting that Rafa talks of, will happen. Season will end, Charnley and Ashley will piss off on holiday, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

County Durham Mag Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 We have a really good foundation to build on next season. What if say Rafa left but then a good manager with a good reputation and record was hired? What would the reaction be then? Obviously myself and everyone would be gutted Rafa left and it would show how bothered the club are about progressing but another good manager with the team we have now and a couple of good signings could still easily be top 10 next year. A decent start and it could be quickly forgotten about. How would people feel about going to matches etc then Dubravka New RB/WB Schar Lascelles Lejeune New LB/WB Longstaff Ki Almiron Perez Rondon Still top 10 material under a good manager. I was massively disillusioned from 2014 under the Ashley regime but Rafa got me back in then August to February this season I had zero interest but now I am back on board and want to still be next season. Or is it purely a case of no Rafa no party? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happinesstan Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 So it turns out that Everton at home was the game we got the required points to stay up (34). If Cardiff lose next week, we were safe before the end of February. Ffs Rafa Time for a Rafa emoji, where he puts his shades in his pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Had to go 6 because I think it’s slightly more likely for him to stay. Wouldn’t be surprised if he does leave though, they can still easily let him down in negotiations. Either deliberately or just through incompetence.

Froggy Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Voted 5. With a bit of investment Newcastle can become a solid Europa League team like United. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 What if say Rafa left but then a good manager with a good reputation and record was hired? I cannot envisage any situation where this happens. Good managers with good reputations want to succeed and win things. Ashley won't make that mistake again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Voted 2 when I meant it to be 3. Don't think he's going to get enough of what he's asking for (and I don't just mean £'s). His head will rule his heart this time I think. Mike's that much of a nut job that he has to feel like he's "won" in every business transaction or else it doesn't happen. For him to have this "winning" feeling would mean concessions on Rafa's part and personally speaking I think what Rafa is asking for (if the papers etc are to believed) is just the bare minimum of what any manager in this job at this particular time should be asking from his bosses. Do I want Rafa to still be here operating under restrictions like he has been? Honest answer is I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 From Rafa Fred - entirely depends on this meeting, if it happens at all and how much of cunt Mike feels that day - usually maintaining a high reading on the cunt-o-meter. 5 on that basis.

morla84 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I think its gonna be the classic stand off, rafa wont sign until they bring the players he wants in and Ashley wont buy players for him until he commits. The uncertainty will go on until his contract expires, the club will release a statement saying how keen they were to have him stay but they couldn't meet his demands. The search for a new manager will go on for the whole of July before a washed up Ashley apologist gets it with hardly any time to get new players in other than a couple of substandard loans Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Thing is if he looked remotely like he didn’t want to stay, which he does - they’d use it against him. Rafa is being a canny operator Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be fooled by words and body language, man. I was convinced by his words and demeanour when they suggested that Staveley was about to buy the club. It all means nothing. The only thing of which we can be certain is that Ashley will be a cunt throughout any discussions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
