Personally speaking there is only really one man I will accept. We need entertainment after Rafa stifling the life out of the club with his anti football. We need...
Surely just a smoke screen to piss us off so that we’re all so relieved at Garry Momk being appointed!
From the BBC correspondent Phil McNulty This just about sums it up for me, Newcastle United's supporters will feel devastated and betrayed once more after confirmation that Rafael Benitez is leaving St James' Park. The gap between Benitez's demands on control, budget, transfer strategy and infrastructure and owner Mike Ashley's strict policy on the running of the club simply could not be bridged, as seemed increasingly obvious in the final weeks of the season. In many respects this is a battle no-one wins. Benitez will currently struggle to find a club that fits his stature as a Champions League winner with Liverpool, a Europa League winner with Chelsea and a manager treated as the saviour of Newcastle United by supporters who revered the Spaniard. He has a lucrative offer on the table from Chinese Super League Club Dalian Yifang - but is this really what he has in mind at this stage of his career? Ashley will not win as it seems impossible he will find a successor who comes anywhere near Benitez's success, experience and expertise - although this may not concern him as his sole victory is seemingly keeping Newcastle United in the Premier League until the club can be sold. And, once again, the biggest losers will be the long-suffering fans of Newcastle United as they lose a manager they loved and see their club plunged into crisis once more.
I doubt that he'll go to China. All he needs to do is sit tight and a top half team from one of the main leagues (England, Germany, Italy or Spain) will come in for him. He may even find something interesting in another league like the Netherlands or France. Either way, he'll be fine!
Time heals all wounds..... carry on and never give up. Ashley's reign wont last forever but Newcastle United will remain .
Proper Commercial advertising would improve our financial position. We are still able to make a profit anyway. We may not compete for Europe yet but easily top of mid table is achievable. June 2018 we had 8th highest turnover that’s not relegation. We had 13th highest wages, that’s not relegation. And both of those were without maximising advertising income. Rondón won’t be back. Ashley won’t allow it. Will only be bought if takeover goes through. You may not want to speculate but hat really isn’t rocket science. “the manager felt the options available were not worth it”. Probably true. Rafa didn’t want 2 more Joselu’s. Profitability. 13 PL clubs were profitable in year ending June 2018. The extent varies. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...guide-2017-18-accounts-manchester-united-city But why would Ashley include £30M + to cover onerous contract payments in the accounts for our promotion season when none of the other Clubs do this? That’s not a small adjustment. It’s legal as far as I’m aware but to say accounts can’t be adjusted is just plain naive. http://www.true-faith.co.uk/true-faith-newcastle-united-accounts-2016-17-part-1/
