wilsoncgp 9,276 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Think Rafa will be gone Genuine question, how many Newcastle fans do we think attribute their current situation to Rafa Benitez? I'd wager about 1%. They all blame Ashley and the lack of investment, there will be some fans bemoaning the tactics of Rafa but all the mags I know blame Ashley. I was also fairly convinced that was the case. To sack Benitez would be pretty devastating for them. I'd say the fans would really turn on Ashley but what more could they actually do to show their hatred than what they already do? The only thing could be a walk-out but we know they probably won't do that. Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone recognises he’s not the source of the problem but that doesn’t absolve him of all blame for their current predicament on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites
richmfc 41 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Even when you have Rafa as manager some supporters will think you’ve lost because you haven’t picked the team they would have. It’s the way of things Supporters think they know best regardless of the info they have. And if the team wins with a different team than the one they picked. Then they would have won by more. And if they lost then they would have won with the team they picked no evidence needed Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,294 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Newcastle just have a very poor squad and Rafa just hasn't been given the signings he wanted. Ashley has gambled and hope they will stay up without spending. However Rafa has made a rod for his own back by refusing to use Mitrovic and selling him and then using Joselu instead. Weird choice but I guess some managers and players just don't fit very well. If Rafa wasn't so experienced he would probably have cracked by now ala Karanka. Rafa knows he has most of the supporters on his side because of their dislike for Ashley, and he knows he will get a big pay day and plenty of job offers if he is sacked. If they are relegated it's not his fault and if they stay up he is a hero. Imo he should be doing better than 2 points from 9 games though. Link to post Share on other sites
Will 2,958 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Newcastle have a wage bill as large as any outside the top 6, just because Rafa has spent it poorly doesn't mean he hasn't been supported. Link to post Share on other sites
HandsOfSteele 12 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Whats the deal with Ben Gibson and Bamford? I see that neither are playing for their respective teams... are they injured, or just not making the cut? Feel a bit sorry for Gibson if he isnt making the cut it what seems a struggling Burnley side. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,276 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Gibson has definitely been out with a knock, too. Not entirely sure he'd have broken into the team what with Mee and Tarkowski both being pretty highly rated by Burnley. Link to post Share on other sites

Also Gibson got them knocked out of Europe pretty much (though it was very harsh) Link to post Share on other sites
