toonotl 2978 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'm starting to think he'll be leaving. The longer this goes on the more I'm thinking the club are trying on their typical lowballing negotiation technique. I don't think it'll work.

Rayvin 5217 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I can see where you're coming from, like. That said, he did originally say two weeks didn't he? They've got a few days yet I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpirlo68 0 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think we'll find out his decision tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think he'll stay.You would expect other clubs to be showing an interest if he was going elsewhere.If he is appointed the makems are going to be confused.They all think he's shite but don't want to see him as our next manager.

toonotl 2978 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Could be a loan, maybe? Would make more sense than a permanent move to Portugal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico martin 89 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Unfortunately i think rafa is playing this perfectly. Makes all the right noises but as he isnt given all the assurance he demands has to leave the club and go elsewhere. None of the fans blame him as its obviously Ashley's fault. I'm sure he has no intention of managing a second tier side. So who can we attract? Moyes? Pearson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'd be happy with Moyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico martin 89 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I'd be happy with Moyes I think his stock is sufficiently low to make us an attractive opportuntiy for him as well. Hasnt exactly got the finesse of Rafa mind but we need to be realistic for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has no intention of managing a second tier side. So who can we attract? Moyes? Pearson? The only thing with this is why Rafa would bother going through all of that. If he'd come right out and said he wasn't interested, there's not a soul amongst our support who would have blamed him. And even if they had, why would he care? The delay can only be because he's weighing up his options with respect of another club (Everton I reckon) and keeping us on side as a fall back or because he's genuinely thinking of staying.

trooper 940 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Confirmation of the cash paid to Premier League clubs at the end of a remarkable 2015/16 season includes some truly eye-watering sums. Newcastle finished 18th but made £72million Right there's plenty of money there for Rafa to rebuild a Championship winning team. There should be no stumbling blocks or excuses let's get him signed up & let him get on with rebuilding the footballing side of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
