    He hasn't made any noises that he's interested, quite the opposite in fact.

    Rumour is his agent met with Saudi reps and he said he wants upwards of 19 million wages, a 200 million budget and wants full control over all staff before he's even willing to sit down and negotiate. That was over a week ago.

    Rumour is his agent is worried because there's no top jobs available and Newcastle could be the only option. That's why they're sending out fake reports trying to force clubs to change hands. Such as in the last week saying he wanted Maguire at Spurs and having Rose saying that he will end up at Man Utd. The problem is Ole isn't doing a bad job and is loves by their fans and the board.

    Real are interested, but they have no grounds to get rid of Zidane yet. That really only leaves us and possibly AC Milan as top jobs. Unless he sits out and waits a bit longer, if the season continues there could be some more jobs in a few weeks.

    "a come and woo me message to Newcastle or any other club that might be interested"

    Says it all. If we weren't being overtaken, he wouldn't even be linked with us.

    That’s true. But so what. We are in the situation we are now because of the sheer lack of investment MA has made. We are a sleeping giant and I know people say that a lot but we ****ing are. Under a good regime with the right manager and players we could fill a 70k stadium no problem.

    As I said it's all over social media that Rafa is about to be given the job and Bruce is going to be given his marching orders.

    That’s quite possibly why poch is putting his feelers out there. He’s worried Rafa has the opportunity and maybe poch actually wants the job.

    Depends who they are. I bet we could have gotten some decent players if Ashley would have sanctioned them. Instead of scraping the barrel.

    I don't think we will see any galacticos here.

    Either way poch or Rafa and I’m sure 99% of the fans would be happy.

    Yet you still haven't posted a link to show this.

    Nothing in my social media to suggest that

    Remember Rafa wanted Abraham, Praet, Lucas Perez, Vlasic, Rondon, Rafa Silva, Plea over the last couple of seasons.

    I wouldn’t say they where galacticos. They are all reasonable players.

    Pochettino - my idea is to stay here and live in London.

    The premier league is the best league in the world, of course its one of the options, it can be my priority, but I'm not closed to a move to another country.

    Of course in my mind, I'm very open to wait for the seduction of the project, rather than the country.

    Where are the Rafa job offer links that are supposedly all over social media?

    Even @rafafacts on Twitter hasn't said this
