He won’t go, I think he will stay and will pick up some results and then Suddenly will be better than any manager ever existed.

Actually what was funny was a lad I know and a mag via social media mentioned things which have been said on here. Probably one of few or maybe one I can recall (he’s said this couple times now)

This was what he said and not far wrong I think;

‘Bye Bye Benitez, There is no passion, hunger or fight. If that was Pardew or McClown fans would want their head, What has Benitez achieved at Newcastle? He won the Championship because he spent an absolute fortune, i could of won the league with that squad. When we got relegated did he beat any of the bottom 3 teams NO. Only did well last year only because the other clubs were so poor. Carnt blame lack of investment He bought Joselu sold Mitrovic whos scoring for fun, we lack goals, Signed 3 players that got relegated last season. Bring on Man City next and EFL next season. Rant Over.’

Well he'll be on the hit list for that utter blasphemy !
 
well the mag father in law has turned against him after yesterday

"beat before we kicked a ball, pointless moaning about transfers when the window is shut, either get on with the job or resign and let someone who wants to be here take over"

To be fair he does have a point but I thought the best reply to the text was 20 laughing emojis and asking what his plans were for derby day next season
 
This reminds me of when Moyes was with us.

Came with a reputation. Spent money on shite players. Claimed they were in a relegation battle after the first few games. Moans in his press conferences. The body language of the players suggests they don’t want to play for him.

It’s early days yet but it didn’t take us long to suss Moyes was a fraud and used every tactic necessary to save his reputation. The mags can’t see it but Rafa is taking the piss out of the club and it’s fans. He cares about himself only.

He is Sven all over again, blagging jobs on high wages, living off his past. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rafa in the Chinese leagues soon.

The way they go on about Ashley is ridiculous. Especially when you consider our own situation, I’d much rather have had him at the helm than Ellis Short over the past few years. All things considered, he runs a fairly tidy show, financially they’re a stable business and if I recall one of the few Premier League clubs who turned a profit, they have a decent manager with a successful track record (who he recruited) and had a reasonable finish in the table last season. The hatred towards him all stems from the Keegan thing and their fans having stupidly overblown expectations. It doesn’t matter what the bloke does, even when they had a really good season under Pardew a few years back, where 97% of English football clubs would have been delighted with that season and where they finished, they still hounded him. He’ll never be able to do right for doing wrong with that lot.

This is exactly what I've said to the mags at work but they refuse to accept Short was worse than Ashley, especially over the last few years

The mags will never accept this, but Rafa is making the situation considerably worse. Sulking and stamping your feet only creates more negativity - which eventually filters down to the players.
