So if Rafa is a top coach does he go

[pboromag]

Does he go into city and improve them
Nope
Does pep come here and improve us
Yes
Does he go into Liverpool and improve them
Nope but klopp coming here would improve us
And the list goes on
I can't even see him going to Bournemouth Burnley and improving them
Maybe Cardiff

I would say we have one of the worst managers of two in the prem

1 shot , I repeat 1 shot on target at home in 90 minutes

How can he not see to score you need to. Even their half probably in their area and certainly having shots
Cardiff yesterday kept the Burnley keeper busy all game

Their manager isn't worried about gold difference
Just trying to salvage a point or get a win

I'm glad the fans booed his decision to take Ritchie of

I don't condone booing but Rafa has had enough time now

Our players aren't this bad

They need a break
I'm sure a few want him gone

Leaving aside your anti-Rafa stance for a moment, this is a relevant question.

You're never going to get a manager getting along with every single player so I wonder if there actually are any in our squad who would prefer a new manager? Mbemba and Mitro are two-amongst others-who apparently didn't see eye to eye with him because of the role they were asked to play or because Rafa didn't think they fit his style (Merino too?) although neither, as far as i'm aware, have had a go at him since leaving? Rafa is known for being pretty inflexible in the way he wants his teams to play so i wonder if this rubs any of his players up the wrong way; similarly players who would prefer a more attacking or open (entertaining?) style of play.

I would like to think the majority are behind him, respect his experience and expertise and realise how his hands have been tied but in any squad there are always going to be a few dissenters, especially when things start going wrong, as they are now for us.

I wonder who ours are?

How the f*ck do you know this? Agenda suiting guesswork delivered as fact.

Just another way around getting yet another, and another, and another ad infinitum anti Rafa post up to join the previous 100's and 100's and this is only to divert from the real iossue causing the club's problems emanating from the arrival of the fat, greasy, lying, cheating, unambitious, greedy toad.

And the true anwer is that neither Pep nor Klopp, nor any other manager in the world would achieve any modicum of success under Ashley's restraints.

He would ruin any club and any manager in the world no matter how great their reputation was.

Don't know why you are all answering.This is the bloke who thought the "smirk" from Ashley on Saturday was great.

[ronandtet]

would pep or klopp come to newcastle?
never -as long as ashleys in charge

comparing us to cardiff - your having a larf the're below us

when either ashley changes his attitude and supports rafa or new owners come in and support rafa

then and only then will rafa criticism be justified

keep popping away at rafa against all the general feeling on this forum dictates that you are not one of us - go find a forum of like minded fans - if you can

[pboromag]

Did anyone think Rafa would. One here
Just assume they do
With this set of players and their styles and management they would all get more from these lads

I have thought and I don't think he improves Cardiff as he would stop them attackinghence removing any notion they might go for a point and not to keep our goal difference down

Less than 1.8 shots on targets per game as yet mshocking

And surely officially our worst ever prem manager

And he has outshone a lot of dross to achieve that
Not what you expect from a supposed world class manager

My arse

I don't no how he ever gets Fu(king answers. Although I'm bad for it myself lol . We need to boycott replying to that cretin as much as we need to boycott games. The last two seasons have constantly been him slagging off Rafa and us idiots tryna defend him. If we didn't waste our time on replying to him we could have some decent football conversations.

6 shots in total 1 on target shows the crape strikers that rafa has been lumbered with ---pop pop pop
