Newcastle Manager Situation

[Brainman]

Was this conversation held in between licking the windows on the Sunshine Variety Coach?

I'm ashamed to say this made me laugh.

Benitez would be a great appointment for them. Gerrard said he's the best tactical manager he's worked with.
If he's in before the Derby I'd be worried, he'd keep them up anarl. And they'd probably be on the up.
We,ve got big Sam...ffs.

And didn't it take Liverpool about 8 games to start understanding the zonal marking he was enforcing?

Bring him in!

Tactically he should be good if he's in charge of a top club?? He had Gerrard, Carragher, Hyypia, Hamann, Babbel, Alonso .... all top class players. At any level of football you can be as tactically good as you want, however a poor squad of players would still struggle.

 

[andymcnish]

I bet they have Pearson lined up as a ' face saving' measure ........ having to continue with Tufty, after all this, would be unthinkable.

Thing is I worry about Pearson more than anyone else in the frame..

 

[Confucius]

He will only be there till the end of the season. That way he won't be able to field a suspended player in the cup

 

[Church]

So he's possibly one of the best Tactical managers around yet he could do fuck all with a Madrid side full of world class stars

He could turn out to be our MoN. The right man at the wrong stage of his career.

Better than McClaren but they have far bigger problems than the manager. It's literally the only action they can take to salvage the situation with the transfer ship sailed and deeper rooted issues at scouting and boardroom level.

They can't score and their defence is about as watertight as Katie Price's flaps. Doon toon.

 

[ErichZann]

Not sure Rafa is the right man for a relegation fight......so sign him on. Think he'd do well if he had a full pre season with the squad though.

 

[Porridge]

Maybe SEB and don't know how reliable they are but AS are reporting it now

Jealous ? Benitez ? Give yersel a shake man

Not Benitez as such but the fact they're attracting a big name while being in such a shit position

 

[horselover]

Benitez is used to working with Champions League players. Ya fucker he'll be in for a shock if he sees this lot on the training field

 

[ftm1974]

Couldn't think of a worse manager in a relegation situation tbh.

Really?
Carver?
Shearer?
McLaren, even?

 

[Reznor]

Great appointment on paper, but is it too late? He won't be staying if they go down either. Certainly gives them more hope than McClaren, and isn't good for us.

 

[sksk3021]

Would be a very good appointment for them.

 

[Discopants91]

He'll be getting a tasty wage if he takes this on like.

Plenty of big European clubs would have him.

££££££££££!

The attraction is location and the fact that it is a three hour drive from his house.

The longer this drags on the more confident I will be for the derby. The less time a new manager will have to drill that shambolic defence the better.

Everyone talking about how the 'new manager bounce' worked for us regarding the derby, we always lost the first game the manager came in for, I believe.

At Newcastle according to Ian Payne on twitter. Sky BBC and ITV all called to St James's Park

We did. If he is appointed today or tomorrow, that could be the game against the foxes on Monday night though.

That said, I am confident we won't get beat like. Think it will be a draw and that will be far more damaging to them than us.

Giving Tufty a 5 year extension.
