    No matter how much people love/like Rafa, you can't expect an owner of any club to sanction that and also you don't need a manager bemoaning (sort of) what he has when he's not even got into any stride of using what he has at his disposal...properly.

    He needs to get on with sorting out the team to start taking points from now on and gelling them as much on the front foot as he does on the backfoot.
    A naive idiotic comment.

    1)Rafa is doing us the service being here under the current despotic regime. Not the other way round.
    2)Would you sign a new contract offered by a liar who had misled you before about transfer funds snd who has taken the unbelievable and obviously devious route of not disclosing the amounts to him beforehand? Why would he do this if he didn't have a malelavant intention.
    3)Talking about January puts the spotlight firmly where the problem is and where the owners shortfalls in previous windows have been and have led to the current situation.
    4)He us getting what he can from the current team. Its not up to standard - thats the point you daft prickk.

    No he's not doing us anything.
    He's doing no more than being a high profile name that's captured the imagination of many fans who believe he's some kind of potential messiah. In my honest opinion.
    I do not rate him as anything special, at all. I've seen nothing from him that an ordinary manager who can command respect can do.
    I'd see him walk this minute without a care in the world about him. His football is that bad and he's doing a massive disservice to to entire squad, as far as I'm concerned.

    He signed one before with a lawyer to oversee it all to make sure it fitted exactly what he wanted.
    It seems he got what he wanted because he can't walk away without losing money.
    That tells me a lot more than just one side of the coin speculation.

    No it doesn't.
    Talking about January is a put down to the quality that he already has to do a job.
    This squad is more than capable of holding a top 10 position if played to its strengths, I believe.
    All Rafa's doing is drilling them into the ground in despair, imho.
    Rafa knows Ashley's stance on January buys.

    No he's not. I refuse to believe that at all.
    I think he's getting half of what this squad is capable of.
    He's content in setting out not to lose as a priority over trying to win and that's mental cruelty to the fans.
    The fans see it but most are scared if they upset him, he'll leave, when in reality they should be telling him to buck his ideas up and give the fans what they pay for and what he's paid to do....not act like he's some high and mighty king who thinks the sun shines out of his own aris, it seem.
    Mr egotist is what he is.

    Talking about egos, Ashley hates anyone bigger than him. He has handicapped Rafa to the point where he literally has to perform biblical miracles to succeed - which he did last season - 10th. Like I said, he tries to destroy reputations but is failiing with Rafa - that is the context and constraints you should be judging his performance within. Give him his first choice players then judge him properly. I dont believe that you are a stupid man so therefore you must be a WUM so deserve all the abuse you get. Dft cnt.

    Newcastle fans usually get tagged with being fickle but people like you cant use that stick to beat us with this time so try to find another angle. Ashley is fully exposed for what he is and cant hide behind a Pardew or Kinnear figure to shield the flack. His days are numbered.
