It's not like negotiations with Rafa went to the wire. He's basically made no compromises if reports are anything to go by and pulled the plug with that statement without Benitez even knowing. He didn't want to keep Benitez and the takeover was a smokescreen

You'd think he wouldn't have broken his neck to keep Benitez if he had a genuine interest in selling? There never was a takeover.

We've reached the part of the fakeover cycle where Mike puts a deadline on it Unbelievable that there's still journalists peddling the lie that he wants to sell this time for real honest

Something along the lines of deserves a better exit iirc

Looks like Fernandez has been made to delete his tweet about Rafas exit

Sick of this media narrative that he doesn't 'get' football as well, like he's haphazardly making unintentional mistakes all the time.

One coach Shows the entire situation for what it is. Didn't like Rafa's power and influence. Wanted rid.

Always trying to see good in people that lad, a true man of the cloth

"It is a facht Ashley had me on my first strike after I missed the 17/18 Swansea away fixture"

Not the 'it is a facht' takedown of Ashley I'm hoping for

Thought we'd have heard from Rafa by now like

Couldn't give a shiny shite who the next manager is like. I actually hope it is a Kinnearesque appointment. I'm done til he goes.

Remember when he changed his mind about wanting to win stuff so instead of building a capable squad he offered a cup bonus

Fuck peaceful, get the windows through

I'll actually be gutted if his death is quick and painless. I hope they do a Sunderland from here

@trooper

Nobody's laughing mate

You mean in case he doesn't appoint a puppet?

I don't understand the question but do what you want. Matchgoing fans are enablers. They shield him from negative pr which he is obviously sensitive about

Yep, contributing to this "I can do what I want they'll keep coming back" mantra we are repeatedly victim of. I don't even know why you want to go after this. The thought of it is fuckin depressing and you're meant to be the biggest wet wipe on the board

The loudest protest will be an empty ground

Going against a collective effort to abandon the stadium in protest makes you a scab. Ohhh rentboy needs his social time inside the ground. Pathetic

Going makes you a fuckin scab

You know there'll be big money offers for players that the fat cunt couldn't accept without breaching Rafa's contract.

At least we have a fakeover to cushion the blow. Fucking knew the cunt was a smokescreen all along
