Did Rafa get the money for his 1st choice players or was he left scrambling around for average players to fill squad places.
Again,have you ever been wrong?

So you accept he got plenty of money but you're now arguing he didn't get his first choice players.
Can you name his first choice players that he didn't manage to get?

[Geordie1974]

He didn't get money.He had to sell before buying.He was naive thinking he would sell to buy better.Like managers before him.
Even Pardew knows.

What do you call plenty of money considering the tv money etc and the monies incoming from sales of players.

He had to sell before he could buy. Does that not mean he got money from the sale to actually buy?

I'm not arguing TV money. I'm arguing money given to Rafa to buy with in his entire Newcastle United tenure, simple as that.

If more has come into the club from sales than Rafa gets to spend then how do you expect him to improve the squad.

In profit from transfers.Usually to strengthen you sell then buy better.But that's at clubs run properly.

By spending wisely and actually coaching the wise spends.
He is supposed to be a world class manager. That doesn't mean he has to have world class readies.

So how did he manage to bring in all those players of his?

You can´t be that thick, surely?
