Administrator Stan Posted April 24, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 24, 2017 1 season out. Straight back up to the Premier League. As expected but made hard work of it towards the end of this season. Congratulations, Geordies! Happy for Rafa, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted April 24, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted April 24, 2017 Welcome back. They had no excuse for not bouncing, but you've still got to actually get over that line and that still requires an effort, so well done. I definitely think it helps for them to go into a season off the back of a positive rather than the usual treading water. Expect them to have an interesting, and expensive summer.

Rafa Beneathus Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Only the second team to come up automatically straight after relegation in 6 year. We spent money in the Summer but made a huge net profit and had to replace our full team pretty much. Over the moon we are back, hopefully back for a long, long time this time. Not going to worry about what we need next season and going to enjoy celebrating tonight and this season at cardiff on friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNORTHODOX Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Im happy for Rafa and their fans, It's not easy to win promotion first time of asking with a squad of players without much championship experience. It will be interesting to see who Rafa brings in during the summer and how they kick on from this. Obviously survival will be the expectation but I think Rafa has the tactical nous to get them up around mid table or even a top half finish next season if he is backed again in the transfer market.

Honey Honey Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 We need 3 or 4 big signings then see where we are in January. It can be very difficult to tell who is going to be good enough next season because the games are going to be entirely different including the way we must play them. I know some want an entire new team but we need to be patient. It's going to take 3 transfer windows to shape something. Overnight success is unlikely. We have already seen this season that because Rafa is our manager the national press have no patience at all. It will be the same for the next 18 months unless we get signings that have a massive impact. Then there will be a wankfest and the national media will switch to trying to talk Rafa up for other jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toony Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Delighted, been a tough season since about Christmas and it's just been about stumbling over the line in any way, shape or form. Rafa got a wonderful reception at the end too - we need to back that bloke with whatever he wants this season, this feels like our last chance to become a threat again.

It was hard reading under the circus of Pardew, McClaren and Carver. I'd tip Newcastle to stay up without doing anything magnificent, a 12th position or so depending on who they bring in. Rafa won't fuck things up so much that they drop but needs time to make them great. what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't do it here even if I still don't rate him as a manager, but honestly its quite hilarious how he tries to have a pop at me at every opportunity and fails. Not like anyone takes him seriously mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HK85 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Rafa couldn't have shown his face in football again if he hadn't got Newcastle up automatically. That league is a piece of shit, not even a fella who's been binned at every club he's been at since Valencia could mess that up. Good day usually Newcastle, I swear it's always midweek though. 4 minutes ago, HoneyNUFC said: I shit you not Pete Graves is on his phone on the train platform at Newcastle central that I am on right now.

Honey Honey Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 It's just that the option is already agreed. Whether we buy or not wasn't said. He would be an ok squad player like he has been this season for that money I think. Given that prices are now 100% more than 4 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirBalon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Congratulations to the Newcastle Utd fans... I know it's a cliché, but it's true in many cases such as this one.

Panna King Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 They need to get a lot of new additions in the summer to be competitive in the Premier League, all depends if Ashley wants to go out and spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just a top manager but a top bloke as well. Hope he loves NUFC as much as we love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
