    D'ya think he'll walk?

    Personally, I think Rafa will stay and try to keep us up. I'm not worried about him leaving right now, but it's a different case when it comes to the summer. If the club isn't sold fairly quickly within the summer window, why would he put up with another season of highly limited budgets, highly limited general player quality, and no sign of prospering?

    I wouldn't blame him if he did leave - I say he has a maximum of 10 years left in his career as a top manager. Why would he waste his time with Ashley? Mind you, I'd admire him for staying, even if it's going to be another relegation dog fight and 1-0's next season, that's if we're not relegated.

    If he stays to the end of the season it's because of his loyalty to the fans, nothing else. If it is sold who knows, depends who wants to buy this mess of a club.

    He might, well depending on what happens this month, walk after the transfer period, I suspect the majority of the fans would not blame him.

    Sorry saga that beggars belief. This vale of secrecy is a nonsense, it's football not a situation that is in the National Interest so nothing can be said. Oops was about to start a rant!

    I think there are two ways Rafa would walk.

    1) If we don't sign anyone in January
    2) If the club doesn't sell before the summer transfer window.

    It's safe to assume that Rafa is done with Mike Ashley. Right now, he's here as a commitment to the fans.
    If there are no reinforcements brought into the club this window, it'll most likely be the final nail in the coffin. I can see him leaving before the end of the season. Either way, Rafa won't be our manager next season if Fat Mike is our owner.

    I think he will stay, as previously mentioned through loyalty to the fans, nobody else. Just a thought though, he will not want a relegation on his CV,so he could well leave at the end of this window,and I personally wouldn't blame him one bit.He must surely be as pissed off as us!

    I think Rafa is a man of integrity and will stay till the end of the season and then pull the plug.

    if be amazed if Rafa is still manager for our next home game.

    if he is still here when we play Burnley, then he will leave at the end of the season (whether we stay up or go down).

    He'll stay till the end of the season, then he'll be glad to see the back of fatso and fatso will be glad to see the back of him.

    Fatso will then appoint a nice compliant Pardew type.
