Premier league squad or championship squad argument.

That entirely depends on the type of players he's able to bring in. Just because he's given money and his managerial record stands to be seen doesn't mean he will be able to attract world class players to Newcastle just like that. It depends on a lot of things, but he should be able to strengthen the squad, yes. We might have a stronger squad then but could still face another tough season in the league if it's close again like this season.

Reading the OP I assume that you are saying that if he doesn't take us into the Top 12 he 1) should be sacked or 2) he's not the manager that we all thought he was. To me, that line of reasoning is complete bullsh!t - for reasons that are fairly obvious. There you go.

I'm not saying anything like what you're thinking. I'm asking for people's opinions on what I wrote, hence why I put what I put at the bottom.

And you got mine.

Yep I did and you should have kept it like that instead of going into raptures you git.

I didn't mean to put words into your mouth. But maybe I can ask you then; part of the OP wasn't that about suggesting that if Rafa gets to bring in the players he desires, then he ought to perform a lot better than we have this season?

The topic is all about what you lot think, not about me arguing the toss about it.

If you expect Rafa to finish 17th and explain why then fair comment.
If you expect him to better it and explain, then fair comment.
It's hypothetical as it stands so it's not up for argument which is why I just went for opinions.

It's about what YOU feel and expect. That's my interest, as in all. I'll even stay out of it and let people get on with it of that helps.
