And told the fans to trust him in the Andy Cole deal? Well the club is sold ,rafas budget is sorted new players are being lined up.Theres nothing the new owners ,rafa or any one can do now but have a good Xmas and look forward to what's about to happen at Newcastle
Keegan. :heart:
Still can't believe he gets slagged by some fans. :blue:
Rafa's got a connection with the fans the same way Keegan did-it's partly why he hasn't come in for the stick a different manager would have during this run.
I just hope the damage Ashley has done to this club can be undone and it isn't already to late. Give Rafa the players he wants and we'll be ok this season...then we can kick on.
whether you rate Rafa or not (and I do) the club NEEDS a manager that has a rapport with the fans.
in all my years following the club, only Arthur Cox, Keegan, Sir Bobby and Rafa have had that.
I really hope this takeover is a done deal, then Rafa can get on with managing the club instead of trying to manage the clubs bargain basement buys.
Not only his he managing poor players, or bargain basement buys like you have said.Quote:

The man needs someone at boardroom level that knows what to do so he can get his players in and manage how he wants to manage.
