    I'm having a Becks Blue as we speak. Maybe another later. Then a coffee :)

    Good thing about Rafa is that he's shown he's happy to manage in the Championship (and with success). Didn't see it as "beneath him" like many big names would.

    We don't really want to a four month only appointment.

    Can you be pleased and pissed at the same time? Because you're right, his position is completely untenable now. But still angered by getting blamed for this mess.

    That might have been because it was Newcastle though

    I think it's pretty obvious what I was trying to say. He is, both mentally and physically, a small man. Small Man Syndrome is a well-known saying. However, I do apologise for the phrase, I didn't want it to upset anyone here. We have been managed by small men before and they have not been as useless or hostile as Jones.

    Not only targeted fans but also people he works with.. that is never ever good. He will lose the dressing room.

    That's real class Nathan, blame the support who pay their money (when we are going through a cost of living crisis) and travel to London and continue to turn up at SMS.
    I hope SR take note of this horrific comment and **** him off.

    I am really struggling to see who we can get in that might want to come here at this stage.

    If we are desperately wanting to survive, who is actually left that has proven ability for that kind of job?

    The market has moved on and we have been left behind.

    Bring someone in with an eye on the Championship - At 62 would Benitez really want to repeat the Newcastle part of his career? Would Scott Parker give up Club Brugge to go back to the Championship again? Nigel Pearson return?

    I just don’t see a way forward, SR have well and truly ****ed it.

    Here's the Jones interview with Blackmore for those who want to hear the whole thing, in context.

    Er, you were missing Salisu and ABK. That was it. Another pathetic excuse.

    Out of his depth. Like a Jack Russell dog coming into a room of Doberman’s and Rottweiler’s. Not going to last very long as you don’t belong.
