Why would an owner not back a manager???

When you have a top manager like benitez you back him or is their a reason behind it.

Rafas a shyte manager, none of the players like him. Proved by him not getting the Spain job.

There are owners who want success for their clubs and supporters and there are greedy, selfish owners who can't see past the end of their noses and who don't understand that success for their club will naturally follow with success for themselves.

Unfortunately we are stuck with one of the latter.

And the Real Madrid players wanting him out,but let's not mention the good things he has done at other clubs though.Not only has he worked wonders here,the influence and good things he has done in the local area away from the club deserve credit.A certain out of town,plastic Geordie doesn't get this though

was supposed to come to us but real madrid came in at the last minute, so we ended up with Slaven bilic, the rest is history as they say, did stay with you thru the Chumps Lge though!

Because he doesn't want to have to spend money, he just wants us in the prem as cheap as possible so that Sports Direct is advertised.

If he pushed us to challenge rather than float along, his brand would be seen by even more but that doesn't seem to have occured.

Exactly this. At the end of the day in football at least he's proved himself to have been a very bad businessman.

I tend to think in other business fields he's been more lucky than astute. Taken advantages of loopholes in the employment rules also in the rules of trading.

He's almost had his comeupance on more than one occassion and only an outburst of tears saved him from a more severe outcome.

We are all ants under the fat cnuts magnifying glass
Every time we start to feel comfortable He starts to fry us again

We are his plaything he gets great pleasure out of watching us squirm and struggle while he sits back and counts his millions.

No other explanation for it is there

[Zippity]

The reason is Ashley is happy getting free advertising and the tv money and bumbling along achieving lower to mid-table positions.

He has no interest in giving Rafa decent money because he knows we'd do well and he'd have to spend more to continue our progress.

He's a greedy bastard businessman who is interested in nothing more than making more money for himself.

That is the top and bottom of Ashley and NUFC.
