Rafa seen out his contract because he had to see out his contract, otherwise he breaches it, just like Ashley couldn't sack him without paying him up in compensation.
A stand off that benefitted nobody but Rafa, who's now managing a Chinese club...all done and dusted after only a few days. Really?

If anyone can tell me how he's negotiated that while still under contract with Newcastle, I'd be interested to know.
A project at the right time?

And people don't think this stinks.
The man has zero integrity for me and good riddance to him, in my opinion.
