No way is Rafa signing another contract for Ashley. Why should he? He’s done exactly what was expected of him - a first time promotion then survival. Not really the project he was hoping for. He’ll go to a club that matches his ambitions. I would too if I were him.

 

Leicester I reckon his next stop, they've got some backing and Puel will be gone this summer.

Ashley has clearly shown he doesn’t have a shred of ambition to Rafa, there’s no coming back from that imo. 

 

Mebbe so, but the breaking of the record to get Almiron might pour some oil on the troubled waters.

He’ll be off. And who can blame him? Throwing him a bone won’t make a difference when he’s been cynically starved of cash for the squad, training ground and academy throughout his tenure.

Why don’t they just give the bloke a fucking budget, however many or few players that gets him is up to him, and he gets a percentage of money from player sales to re-invest and bolster his set budget.

I honestly think that is all Rafa would want, he’s not a bloke who needs a fortune but he needs to be given a clear and honest budget that he controls. Instead this bunch of morons will offer a chance of signing one ‘marquee’ signing and expect that’s enough, they’ll then act like they’ve been fucked over when he turns the offer down.

and it's only a chance. we guarantee we might try, will that persuade you to sign again? 

They’ll probably reappoint Tony Jimenez to do negotiations to keep sure to “succeed “...

Pini Zahavi has been taken on by Newcastle United to find them a new manager for next season, according to reports from France.

L’Equipe say Mike Ashley has engaged the ‘Super Agent’ to identify a replacement for Rafa Benitez.

The newspaper reporting that this was decided some months ago, suggesting the Newcastle United has had no real interest in convincing the much decorated manager to stay.

Looks like Ashley can't wait for Rafa to go

Gutted if true. I was still cautiously optimistic he might stay. No surprise at all if he’s had enough particularly if Ashley does indeed have zero interest in the takeover.

Aye, anyone that ever expects any different from fat boy is always going to be disappointed sadly.

 

He’s proven time and time again that he simply never learns from his mistakes, if he give Benitez a moderate budget, let him spend it as he wants, and doesn’t interfere, Rafa would keep the club in the PL. Instead he’s going to gamble it all again on whatever bellend manager dickhead Zahavi or whoever chooses and it’ll inevitably end in relegation so Ashley can lump another £30m on his “loan” to NUFC (which is never going down despite how many years in the PL we have nor how much profit we make in transfers). Rinse and repeat until the wanksplat either keels over or sells up.

Another drawn out cycle of him and Ashley leaking contradictory stories to the press. Great

NUFC to Ashley is just another one of his businesses. He has no personal  links to the club apart from owning it. I doubt very much he cares whether they win or lose every week as long as they can stay in the PL with little or no outlay. The club is probably running as efficiently as it can now & that probably suits Ashley. He just sits back watching the TV money come in  as  we struggle to survive another season. As soon as Rafa started questioning Ashleys financial methods he was on borrowed time. As much as it hurts its probably time for Rafa to move on as he's getting nowhere fast here. Around mid table is probably as good as it'll ever be with Ashley in charge

But when another manager comes in who is, let's be honest, going to be shite compared to him, gets relegated and then the money will drop.


But we all know this.

He’ll throw money at the next manager. Whether it’s enough and the recruitment is good enough ( like with Pardew) or if it’s a disaster like McClaren was is anybody’s guess. You’d think another relegation is in the post though. Where Ashley’s been lucky in the past though is where we’ve bounced straight back up. Absolutely no guarantees that’ll happen next time. Then we’ll see how keen he is to hang around I guess. What a fantastic thing to have to look forward to as fans.
