    This guy is one of Rafa’s best friends in football

    The key sentence is the resting part.

    Waiting for a certain job?

    Bruce's taking us down... I think he's done so much damage that even a good manager would struggle to turn it around...

    Steve bruce lived on the foundations rafa has built and over time he's completely destroyed everything he was fortunate to inherit.

    Bruce was happy to take praise for results early and when it stated to go wrong he's simply said its not his system, so you can't win with a person that's that dishonest.. He's saying 1. We win /draw and its all down to my management or 2 we lose and it's because of the previous managers way of playing.

    Steve Bruce is so full of **** that I've begun to find him hilarious actually.. It's not just him it's the person that's employed him and the fact they can't see what the everyday man on the street can.

    The entire club from top to bottom is run by idiots.

    No its all relevant as to what happens with Rafa and us.

    If he takes on an interim role, chances are that our takeover is going ahead.

    If he takes a break, our takeover chances are on.

    If he takes on a role longer than a year, our takeover is off.

    That's why it's important to follow what he's doing. As it was him who approached Ashley, not the other way around, it was him who brought Staveley and the Rueben's to the table.

    He has been in the past, yes. But he's also been very critical of Rafa over the last few years and kisses Pochettino's arse more than Rafas.

    He's talking about the interest in Rafa from Celtic in 2019.

    At the end of the day, he's a journo. Marca is a better source on Spanish press.

    Bruce is a chancer. Always has been. He took credit for using Rafa's system when things were going well last season. Now things are falling apart it is the fault of others.

    No Steve. You are the manager. It is all your fault.

    He lost the dressing room a long time ago. At any other club he would have been sacked. He is lucky that Mike Ashley is his employer. Ashley does not give a **** if we go down this time.

    Balague said he's taking a rest, he's already had nearly a 3 month rest since leaving China. Every report states that Rafa wants an immediate return to management.

    Everywhere is reporting that Rafa is being announced for Celtic tomorrow on a 2 year deal.

    Look mate I think your a complete looney. But...

    This time I think your right. Spin the bottle enough times and it lands on you.

    I think he’s going to Celtic. And I think it’s being accepted that the remainder of this season is about planning for next season.

    Rafa is Celtics manager end of play tomorrow.

    Also he keeps saying we've not got enough to attack teams, but ffs he took over one of the best defenses in the league he's had 90 million spent... I do grant him its not his fault we let perez and rondon go, but he's now got Saint max, Wilson, Fraser and tbh even Joelinton and Carroll... Surely that's enough to create a few shots on goal?

    I mean bruce mate you've lost 9 games, can't create anything, your keeper is under fire like Tom hanks on omaha beach, so maybe you should at least give option 2 a try and go after a win

    He is effectively calling our attacking players ****e.

    That's ASM, Fraser and Wilson who he ****ing signed.

    Someone sent Rafa a message about Bruce destroying Newcastle and he responded to them with a formation with Shelvey and Hayden in midfield, with Fraser and Almiron on the wings and with Perez and Rondon up front. So I guess that's what Rafa was looking at this season.

    Lads, Rafa's 1/6 to go to Celtic. That's a done deal. Jones has had "permission" to speak to NUFC. He's a ****ing Champ coach, how is that even news? Unless he's coming in as "head coach"?

    There's definitely no takeover and for whatever reason Ashley is happy for us to get relegated.

    Everyone knows the letter was fake.

    No one is mentioning the letter.

    Rafa wants an immediate start and wants a team that can compete. That's what he's after.

    He would salivate at the thought of taking Celtic far in Europe and also getting one over on Rangers.
