Will Rafa be !along a statement tomorrow

To think a club of our size with the fanbase we have and the money we pump into it, is being ran and actually owned by someone who can't even share the same ambition as the manager he Fu(king employed is just ludicrous. Why even Fu(king employ him in the first place?

To paper over the cracks

To give the illusion of an ambitious forward looking club.

He employed Rafa to keep us in the premier League where the money is
The money he paid Rafa was so he didn't have to shell out huge amounts on players

Thank you for three fantastic, exciting and, at times, challenging
yea rs .

What we have had here – your support, your affection and your
passion – has been unbelievable for me. St James’ Park has been
always especial, the 5-1 win against Tottenham, 15-05-2016, was
so emotional that since that day I have always felt as though I
belonged at Newcastle and I thank you for making me feel so
welcome and at home.

Thank you to everyone at the Club who has helped the team and of
course to the fine players who grew and fought with us and to the
staff (one of the best I have ever shared time with).

From winning the Championship, to our two seasons in the Premier
League, fans, staff and players have all been United. I wanted to
stay, but I didn’t just want to sign an extended contract, I wanted
to be part of a project. Unfortunately, it became increasingly clear
to me that those at the top of the Club did not share the same
vision.

I’m very sad about that, but I do not regret
for one moment my decision to come
to Tyneside and I’m very proud
about what we achieved together.

will always have you in my heart.
Best of luck for the future.

Good luck Rafa lad.Whatever you do next I wish you and your family every success and happiness.You were a professional to the very end here.

Great statement and just shows us (even though we knew) what we have lost

The interview in the times was pretty good
