Oh dear

[Norbs]

Take them down Rafa

[Gibbo]

Leicester V Newcastle
Newcastle V Sunderland
Norwich V Newcastle
Southampton V Newcastle
Newcastle V Swansea
Liverpool V Newcastle
Newcastle V Crystal Palace
Aston Villa V Newcastle
Newcastle V Tottenham

Some winnable fixtures there, currently one point from safety but 9 away from Swansea in 16th. Would take a couple of games to get the philosophy in though, but would see him sending Fat Sam down if he manages it. Can see him taking it just for that.

[Fredo]

He will come in then sack Ashley. Relax.

They might get ten points out of those run of games. Depends on how Sunderland do but I'd be shocked to see Newcastle stay up, regardless of whether Rafa comes in.

[RedReet]

Newcastle would be Madrid minus the glamour, prestige,world class players, and money. Essentially a mad owner and delusional fans.

Given that he can get the Valencia job whenever he wants, it would be madness to commit to Newcastle.

I'm hoping the only reason his reps are humouring Newcastle is to force Valencia's hand.

The Mail saying Rafa is done and will be there before Monday.

Who's going to cheer Newcastle on v us?

Rough translation, Ashley worked out he'd have to pay the cunt £15m to get rid of him

I can only see them getting 5 points

1pt Sunderland H
1pt Aston Villa A
3pt CPFC H

[Gibbo]

Dont Sunderland have an amazing record against them of recent?

[ChesterDave]

Without verifying via Google I believe its 6 in a row

[Harv]

I reckon Rafa's exactly the type of manager they need. Tolerates no ****, has pulling power and a record that gains him respect.

I thought he is on record saying he wants to manage a premier league club again.

I think he's the wrong Manager for Newcastle, he doesn't play a style that will endear him to the fans.

I also think he would be mad to take it. It's going to be very tough for them to stay up and what's he going to do then? Manage a championship club?

It would be an interesting reunion with Alladyce though!
