Spineless *****!
I still can't believe so many people were taken in by Rafa.
OK so my position is that I was the first to advocate Rafa on 9th Jan 2016.I still can't believe so many people were taken in by Rafa.
It was recently reported that there were 6,500 less sold than at the same stage last year.That being said; were they really? The numbers of season ticket sales would suggest not.
Shearer has always been quite vocal on MOTD regarding the lies peddled by Ashley’s managers. It will interesting to hear his views this season...
Some of the guys I know who travel up from here, mostly who worked as expats, would have cancelled but for the deal they got in the relegation season and had to renew from March. In a way, I can understand it since they missed out on SJP during their working lives.I was under the impression over 10k were available after the renewal deadline passed. The reasons may be manyfold. Exorbitant price increase, fed up with the game in general, the manager, the owner, being able to see most games (if not all) live via a computer to name but a few. From a selfish point of view I am thankful that in years long gone I could take my two boys to the match and not have to pay stupid money at the gate, sit them on a barrier and not give a shit if I got wet. You also didn't need loyalty points for away games, and the list goes on and on.

Ashley has done one or two good things for the club, employing KK, employing Rafa and in one window, buying some quality. The rest of the time he has screwed up.
Either you get Rafa's personality or you don't. He has never walked out on a contract. His charity and community work suggests he is a decent bloke who was a bit too confident that he could bring some sanity to the club and a crap owner.
After being shat on persistently, he didn't renew. As KK once said about what Rafa called the project, “It’s not like it said in the brochure”. KK and Rafa just had different views about contracts.
My argument back in 2016 was that Rafa would have been great for the club had Ashley invested appropriately, as he did McClaren. Ashley showed his colours by not keeping his word with the "every last penny" pledge. The opportunity to progress with a world class manager was wasted.I have to say i see it rather differently.
For me employing Rafa wasn't good for the club, it was good for Ashley. All the club did was waste 3 years.
For me all Rafa did was leave because he had a better and more lucrative offer on the table.
There is no other way to see it,fuck the diplomacy.I have to say i see it rather differently.

Benitez enabled him more than any other in his rape of our club,shame on anyone who supported this alliance,especially those hypocrites who like to point the finger at other fans for attending.
