How long can Rafa last?

[TradingPlaces]

Just thinking today, the mag fans have made him pretty much unsackable. Now given that they are looking very likely to be in or around the bottom three as the season closes out, most clubs will appoint a new gaffa in hope that he produces a bit of bounce (just like Newcastle did when they appointed him ) what are they going to do then?

There is going to have to be some serious backtracking somewhere along the line, but wait, I know, they will just blame Mike Ashley. Again.

I can honestly see Ashley peddling Benitez before long. High likelihood looking at their fixtures till beginning of January that they will be in the bottom 3, he's failing massively and so called lesser managers like Wagner, Dyche, Hughton etc are making a mockery of him.

I would join in taking the piss but we have to remember we have the same amount of points as them in 21 championship games as they do in 16 premiership games, true fact

When you've worked with the arrogant t***s for over 20 years, you'll understand why we take the piss.

It'll obviously all be Ashley's fault of course.

But, but world class manager Rafa has had no money to spend!

Paying £12m gets you a championship winger he could’ve kept Gouffran and signed a £17m striker ... Rafa He could’ve saved £5m by keeping Anita and not signing Manquillo .. Rafa

Manquillo proving game by game how utterly shit he is

 

[jcrossan]

Months with all that fat on him.

The Everton game is massive now.
Fail to win that and they are in the shit.
Everton aren't great defensively though , so can see the skunks getting a draw.

Their January fixtures are canny mind.

 

[Vauxie]

They could win relegation with Rafhaha again

If this was a less glamorous manager they'd been going absolutely wild in the stands wanting him sacked like.

[mr chuckles]

This threads great as the mags suffer more defeats the amount of mags posting on it keeps going down hehehe

 

[Fetch Fletch]

They love him
We love him.

I honestly don't see the problem

 

[deleted user 785]

Do they really want him to be allowed to spend big money?

 

[Bear]

Much earlier than that.

I’ll bow to your superior knowledge I’d never heard them chant it until the 1-2 Gary Owers OG game

Completely different dialect from the Northumbrian burr to the pitmatic marra. Both great by the way.

I dont think I have heard the term pitmatic for over 30 years, well done

It was mentioned a few times in the north east media last week when news emerged that the advertising standards agency had banned a TV commercial for Bobby Thompson's dvd.
