It is the ONLY reason they need him is for the 'name' and by 'association' with his past they are so f***ing deluded they think it puts them amongst his past clubs. He had to perform at those clubs he has to do fuck all at Newcastle and he knows it and probably is paid more money for it

And has to pay £5m to leave and is so peed off with that clause he’s sacked the agent who put into his contract.
Now, I maybe wrong, but he was staying through love of the toon, he wouldn’t mind that £5m clause was there at all

I actually find the Keys/Gray stick worse than the Rafa antics because it’s indicative of the way owners can manipulate media for false information - Ashley has clearly had a word with them to be their spin doctors. Allardyce was doing the same - I’ve heard a rumour he might be going back there next season...

I'm not sure Ashley has anything to do with any of the comments in the press. Wise just hates the mags. Keys and Gray are just attention seeking twats. I've not seen any comments from BSA tbf.

It's just funny to see the mags spit out their dummies.

And the season before he signed Aquilani, he was desperate to sign Barry to replace Alonso iirc. I remember playing Liverpool in August that season at the SOL, Alonso was superb and he wanted to sell him :lol:

Wound a few Mags up about this in the past. Who would replace Alonso with Barry? Around that time he had Alonso on the bench against us first game of the season and he set up Torres for the winner with a brilliant through ball.

I regularly remind myself about Benitez’s final season at Liverpool. He was a total busted flush joke, beach balled out of town. And then got sacked by Inter and Real. Fat f***ing git :lol:

They still believe that he's hiding money from them which is what I find hilarious. Every year they have made a massive loss or a small profit despite making huge profits on player trading so where exactly do they think a business can hide it's money??

Somehow managed to finish 5th in Serie A at Napoli with a squad including Koulibaly, Jorginho, Hamsik, Mertens, Insigne, Callejon and Higuain as well.

It’s incredible how much they’ll defend Rafa. I’ve not seen anything like it in football, probably ever.

The funny thing is when you break it down he used to manage Liverpool, Chelsea and Real Madrid once upon a time. In mag logic they think having Rafa as manager puts them toe to toe with those kind of clubs on the size radar. They were spells last season where the mags would have wanted any manager in the world other than Rafa out of the door. Even Pardew out achieved the great Rafa at Newcastle. A 5th place finish and no relegation.

Totally this.

I saw an article yesterday on Sky Sports ‘How Sarri turned Benitez’s Napoli into title contenders’. There were quite a few in the comments defending him man, it’s absolutely f***ing bizarre. Like someone said earlier, it’s pure desperation to get their name up in lights due to association with past success.
 
Ashley is a very good owner just not ambitious.

When they were making profits he backed McClaren and they spent about 80m and got relegated. Not satisfied with that he gave a good manager 5m a season kept him, give him a premier league wage budget and 60m to spend. Then on promotion gave that manager 45m to spend and despite posting huge losses allowed that manager to spend more than a club in Europe with no debt.

Yet their fans complain just sums up how pathetic the Anti Ashley vendetta is.
 
It was on the radio last night saying that Benitez has sympathy for those protesting against Ashley. Still happy for the bloke to pay him one of the highest manager's wages in Europe, mind.
 
I find it very funny that it these this bloke and his monkey that started this "Everyone's 2nd favourite team" rubbish. Both of them creeping up Hall and loving it.
 
Didn’t he spunk £80million in the championship season? Can you blame Mike Ashley for tightening the purse strings. Added to which he spent £10million on that Muto.
