Amazing isnt it, the whole of the country agreed that he did an excellent job under the circumstances and had very little money to spend whilst working for one of the worst owners in football. The only people that dont agree with this are Sunderland fans, I just cant put my finger on the reasoning behind this.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah
Man you talk some shyte.
You are an angry person and need help!! I would bet you will die alone, because you push everyone that cares about you away. Get help.
We exchanged Pm's in the beginning yes! I expressed that I didn't want to come on here and be a white knight correcting all the lies etc that you lot spout, I didn't
I received abuse for asking a f***ing question and I replied with a sarcastic reply. So only Sunderland Fans on this message board can give abuse (which I did not give) is that what you are saying? Any none Sunderland fan has to take that abuse or else "they revert to stereotype"
Jesus man, get some help will you.
Well.. they said he was a master tactician, he’s basically pulled a cûnts trick but comes out smelling of roses.Benitez has really stitched the mag fans up. He was offered a very good contract and refused it to chase the money in China despite claiming he 'loved' the fans. What a bastard.

Pragmatic football and mid table football yet he’s revered. Allardyce could have achieved exactly the same as Benitez with the same resources yet he wouldn’t have this level of adulation and sorrow upon departure. It’s absolutely barmy

AUF WIEDERSEHEN MASCOTA
Newcastle fans have now lost the little gram of hope they’ve clung to for three years. Rafa Benitez has finally left the building.
Since his arrival they’ve held him as the great Spanish hope. The one thing that kept them resembling a football club. The one thing they could bow down in front of and beg would make them great again but at what cost?
The Magpies took their foot off the gas in their battle to remove their treacherous owner. He snared them hook line and sinker in giving them Benitez. Here was a man, who if supported financially, could have made NUFC a top half club and knocking on the door of Europe every year. Unfortunately the only thing Ashley supports is a jumble sale of a retail shop that inhabits every uk high street. Why couldn’t they see that? Benitez was given crumbs and each time season tickets needed renewing, the fat controller would invent a fakeover. They’d buy in again in enough numbers to allow Ashley yet another cost free transfer window. Fool me once and all that.
Each end of season we’ve seen the Mags raise banners proclaiming “Rafa must stay” and “if Rafa goes we go” while all that time moaning about their owner yet doing very little to remove him. Rafa Benitez became the most important character yet Ashley was always the most obvious target. They simply picked the wrong fight. Energy was spent saving Rafa which should have been spent removing Ashley. Rafas tenure was never going to have the positive effect that could counter the negatives of Ashley’s stay but football fans often want to do more believing with our fingers crossed than using common sense and reasoning.
The Geordies bought in to an easy football fan belief that “it’ll be alright in the end” instead of seeing the reality of three more years as nothing more than an advertising board for a low end sports retail outlet.
Over the last 5/6 years I’ve spent many hours talking to Newcastle fans, building relationships, meeting them and even going down to visit them. I’ve often shook my head in disbelief at the amount of apathy, which surprised me. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty who had great ideas, they done some good things, but they just never got the numbers that the bravest deserved.
20 years ago I worked in the North East of England and I thought I knew them. I was obviously wrong back then or they’ve changed as now the majority aren’t straight talking, honest guys who’d see no one come in to there postcode and take the piss. The majority now want to squabble online and shout down those trying to make a difference. They now outweigh the Geordies I knew then. The Geordies I knew would never have allowed a Cockney to come steal their club and rip the heart out a city without standing up against him.
We know fine well you’ll never get 100% harmony in a fan base but we are also well aware that the fight would never be won by one protest or one boycott. The only way to win was to do everything you can do everyday. Fortunately for us, enough Bears done enough to win our war after a thousand battles. The Mags just never seemed to get going despite a few promising starts.
I am genuinely sad for them but as equally surprised that they seem defeated without ever really getting started. They’ll claim “ah but it’s different down here” I’ll not disagree with that but when this eventually does end with an outsider coming along with a big cheque book, what will the NUFC fans say about the part they played in the victory? “I shouted a bit online” or “I came up with some good ideas but never seen them through because of some online troll telling me it wouldn’t work”.
C’mon Geordies. Have you really gave up and happy to go down without a proper fight? The coal miners and shipbuilders of days gone by wouldn’t recognise you as their own but it’s not too late.

They are mags, MAGS mags not f*cking Geordies.
This...yet the moronic zombies will still blame AshleyBenitez has really stitched the mag fans up. He was offered a very good contract and refused it to chase the money in China despite claiming he 'loved' the fans. What a bastard.
I’ve never heard any other set of fans say net spend other than Newcastle fans, because it’s literally their only argument when trying to say Ashley hasn’t supported them financially. By the same logic that means Liverpool haven’t backed Klopp financially, and I’ve never heard a Liverpool fan say this.-13 million spend I am sure Sky said last night over the three years, I know net spend dosnt apply in Sunderland but it does to the rest of the country.
It’s more like his boss sold his £2000 TV and gave him £1800 back for a new one to be fair.I bought a 4K TV for £500 but the day before I received a £1500 fee from my work so now I'm livid because it's a crap TV and I wanted to spend £2000 on the TV. Net spend etc

It was only last week you all were saying you’d have Mourinho over Rafa. What if Tony Pulis comes in and you finish 9th? Does that mean he’s a new messiah? You’re Newcastle not Man Utd, you are not fighting for any silverware and Rafa has not left big shoes to fill. The bloke has turned you down, he doesn’t like Newcastle as much as you all pretend he doesAt least Man Utd had their immense stature to call upon. They probably had the pick of any manager in the world (give or take) post Ferguson.
