Relegation

[ghostrider]

We’re 12 points behind 10th placed Man Utd can’t see that happening

We might not get the chance to see if Rafa stays too long.

Doesn't matter.On yours and Lord P(innochio)boro's thinking,if Rafa is sacked with 2 mths to go relegation will be on the new managers shoulders and not Rafas or the slugs.

I don't know how you work that out.

[Geordie1974]

Yours and Lord P(innochio)boro's logic that even though we were as good as down and only a miracle would have got us out of it after McClarens reign,you still blamed Rafa for taking us down.
So if we are as good as down with Rafa still here with around 2 months to go on your reckoning if he gets sacked and we go down it will be the new managers fault.

Quite easy it was Rafas fault last time we got relegated according to yourself and Pinocchio

Nahh, you're wrong. I apportioned the blame fairly in my book.
Unless you want to bring up where I blamed Rafa directly for the relegation as being his fault entirely.

There was no miracle needed.
There was enough games but Mr dive straight in Benitez decided to do a hit and run act on the players day off.
Regardless of whether they underperformed, you do not adhere a squad to you by starting off like that.

Shearer done a similar thing.
In my opinion both would have had a 50% better chance of succeeding with a bit more kid gloves....but then again I can only speculate on that past, as we'll never know, because it didn't happen that way.

[Geordie1974]

Hanging onto Rafa and his ego borders on the insane.
I'll hold Ashley to blame if he allows Rafa to take this club down again.

You've just stated it today.Read that last sentence.

Rafa did take the club down.
Who else was manager when they were relegated?

It's really not worth it you two.

He's got his warped view and nothing will change him of it.

You're just going to end up annoying yourselves over it.
