wThe Chronicle saying no new bid, the previous bids still on the table

He'll The clubs been on a downward spiral since negotiations started hence Stavely's reluctance to go near Ashley's valuation

I'd be very surprised if Stavely had upped her offer given our league position predicament

He's an utter shithouse there's a deal to be done here yet he has no intention of doing it. Prefering to hang on to see if the club is worth even more money when the new tv deal is done. It's all been a ruse to give Rafa nothing again. If Stavely wont give him £350 now i cant see her offering more in the summer in fact she might well walk away now. i guess we'll know pretty soon.

Rafa's first deadline the 15th comes & goes without a sausage. Next deadline this saturday the 20th he hoped to have all new signings done by then.

He writes the articles in crayon then gets cockeye Mala to type them up thats his excuse anyway.

It's time we had a proper update from Ryder about the takeover & transfer window over to you HMHM.

I think we may see a different side of Rafa after this weekends City game if we make ho signings this week & get twatted.

Honest question if you were Rafa would you stay or go? i'd run a million miles away you can't work under these conditions

Todays Rafa's first deadline day “But I have confidence that Mike Ashley will deliver what we need to stay in the Premier League before 20 January. By 15 or 20 January we have to have everything done.” It's looking like he's done you over again Rafa

Me dad moved back down to Cheshire after mam died all the other famiky live down there. Most of them are Man Utd or City fans dad always gets their backs up saying the best supported club in this country is Newcastle United. They always counter with we've got bigger grounds. Dad says to the Man Utd fans when you had that bad run loads stayed away. No matter wich way Newcastle play there'-s always a full ground it soon shuts them up

Rafa Benitez has revealed that Newcastle United are not close to signing anyone during the transfer window and will have to get the best out of the players he currently has.o The Spaniard was speaking after the Magpies’ 1-1 draw with Swansea City at St. James’ Park on Saturday We are no closer to signing anyone,” he told the Daily Mirror. “So we must look at the players who are here and who are playing.”

This is on one of his other phones

Mr Smith linked with, looking at, thinking about, very close. All phrases you should watch for this window.

I'm already i'm prepared for the worse case scenario as long as it involves Ashley losing lots of money. I cant think of anything positive he's done for the club since he bought it.I look forward to the day he sods off the fat slug.

Although not a huge Oasis fan i watched Supersonic on bbc i player last night. I really enjoyed it & now Noel & Liam are speaking again i wouldn't be surprised ifvthe got Oasis back together & played Knebworth this year "you know worra mean"

Rafa's being made to look silly at the pressers now. He knows he'll be asked about the budget & for new playersI believe he's being totally honest when he says "i dontvknow what the budget is" It's Ashley's payback for Rafa calling him out. i.e. the 15th & 20th deadlines.

He's put up with 3 transfer windows like this its a joke

i get he's an honourable man but he's getting the piss ripped out of him in the public eye.

yeahbtheres skype video link conferences electronic signatures there's no excuse

Smoke & mirrors again for us this window i feel bad for Rafa

Just checked they'd want £10+ million for him

How much would he be, wages etc ?

The bottom line is this ... The players are doing the best they can it's NOT their fault Rafa's doing the best he can with what he's got it's NOT his fault Lard Arse ont help Rafa buy better players that would help these players its HIS fault.

Today was very winnable look how that turned out we need reinforcements quick. Btw i expect Shelvey to be sold, it's no good shaking his head as he was coming off. The way he was he was a red card waiting to happen Rafa couldn't chance it.
