Czechlad Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We proved last season that just because you have a decent manager, doesn't mean that's the manager you need. Remi would have been decent for a club like Everton. Rafa would have been decent for a club that was already decent and just needed that push forward. Newcastle needs an overhaul.

villa4europe Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Rumours of Rafa and shelvey scrapping in the changing room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 problem with Rafa is his same failings from the past, he is a terrible manager when expectation is on his shoulder. His best success in Valencia, Liverpool even Chelsea in 2013 was nobody expected anything from him. When Liverpool came 2nd the next season he crumbled and took over Inter and Real and made them worse, people forget Inter was Champions League winners at time even a drop in league has brought out same problems again, he is too cautious in a team that needs to have adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted August 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 13, 2016 I hate Benitez and this Forrestieri thing has his grubby paws all over it. Typical Rafa move. Tap up your rivals best player in order to weaken them. He did exactly the same with us over Barry. Can't stand that FSW & I hope they get relegated to League 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Well Gayle scored at least....only 14 to go.... Good news for us though, Newcastle have quite a tough run of games starting soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Will be interesting to see what happens with the Forestieri situation as Wednesday are still adamant that no player will be sold. That's a clear message that would lose them credibility if they were to do a U-turn. If they are true to their word, has the player burnt his bridges with the fans? Carvalhal speaks about it in the link below. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11703/10535752/carvalhal-says-forestieri-is-going-nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanBalaban Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Thinly veiled dig at Forestieri from his manager. Newcastle don't seemed too concerned about building team spirit in their recruitment policy. Long my it continue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 38-40k during the 3 seasons we finished 6th in the PL, we almost never sell out. We finished bottom with two wins with dreadful performances and a bunch of players that didn't care. Newcastle were nowhere near as bad as what we had to watch last season. also as mentioned many times look at the teams around them, there isn't many unlike midlands clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Yeah, I think the lack of clubs around Newcastle has to be factored in. Their support is a lot less impressive than the media like to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm not claiming they're the biggest, bestest fanbase in the world or anything, I can't stand the pricks. But suggesting our 33k attendance with thousands of empty seats is 'just as impressive' as them selling out 52k is absolutely absurd, bordering on the deluded. It's the kind of thing you'd hear blues fans saying to justify their attendance compared to ours. Try posting that anywhere other than on a Villa fan site and see how long it takes for people to stop laughing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 33k against Rotherham is quite impressive actually i think your being very negative towards the villa fans base there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
