Super Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hardly a shock. Rafa will keep them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Rafa would be out of his mind to take that job. He'll surely get much better offers in the summer. Look how well Real Madrid have done in La Liga since he left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that it would be exactly that if he took the job - 3 year deal but with a break clause at the end of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hope Newcastle go down, vile club. McClaren was always a strange appointment, to be fair Rafa will probably do a good job, given time and a few quid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnderMB Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 I still quite like McClaren, but I think he needs to cut his loses here and go back abroad. He had some success in the Netherlands, and while it didn't work out in Germany I reckon a move elsewhere in Europe would probably revive his career.

Ashley is solely interested in promoting Sports Direct and to do that effectively they have to be in the EPL hence McLaren going. Hiring Rafa is a big risk to Ashley because if he fails to keep them up, which will be quite a task, the fans are going to really start asking some very awkward questions.

Mike Ashley on the other hand!?! He's completely ruined the club & doesn't seem to know his arse from his elbow!! One minute he's asset stripping & taking all the money he can from the club & then he decides he wants to stay & actually spends some money & backs McClaren!! I think it would be a great club for a takeover from one of these foreign billionaires, massive stadium, massive fan base & huge potential given the correct ownership but all that would depend on someone managing to convince Ashley to do one!!

Who was the other dick up there who slagged off Geordie women.....can't think of his name now. Just a rotten club And all the bullshit about them being brilliant fans, that is shite too. I can remember plenty of games up there in front of sparse crowds, and times when they've not brought many to AG.

I like a regular income like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
