Why don’t the mods just hoy up a Rafa Oot Thread and leave it open for posters to continue their campaign.
In all the years I have watched the toon since 1965 we have had Robson, Keegan and Rafa you might squeeze Joe Harvey in there as he won us a trophy.
Since my name has been mentioned on another thread I may as well say again what I have said consistently:
1 I hope Rafa succeeds because this would be better than taking our chances with a new manager.
2 Notwithstanding '1' above, the people who thought it perfectly fair to call his 3 predecessors all the names under the sun now think you should not criticise or question Rafa's record in any way.
3 Yes he has been underfunded which is why I have made comparisons not with the top 6 PL clubs but with Brighton and Huddersfield. Aren't they 'championship clubs playing in the PL?' I have also compared NUFC with Burnley in response to which posters say but they've been in the PL a few years and have had the TV money. This overlooks the fact that in their first year back in the PL they avoided relegation before the big money rolled in.
4 On the question of a weak squad, presumably one reason you pay a manager more than another is that he should be able to get more from less. If Rafa can't get more from our squad than anyone else, meaning managers paid a lot less, what is the justification for paying a manager such a big salary?
I read posts every day. I have been all this time. Writing english isn't that easy for me as it is for you. I have been there 3 times in a year. It takes effort and money from me to be there. I love the people I have met there every time. I love the city and the people. So I dont have a right to have a opinion because i dont post every day but you 2 have to say same nonsense everyday?
You have every right.
Post when you want and as much or as little as you want.
Their are plenty of other users who are on without posting loads as well.
