Rafael Benítez

I don't think Rafa did as bad a job as some on here like to make out. If you look back at the Predictor thread from a couple of months ago, very few people had either us, Newcastle or Norwich down to get above 35 points. It was the overwhelming belief of the SMB that the 37 points the Mags would eventually get would have kept them up. Yes, the Norwich result was terrible, and the draw at Villa not much better. But they beat Spurs, and came from behind to draw with Liverpool and Man City, as well as good wins against Swansea and Palace. You would have expected those results would have kept them up, and everyone would be saying he'd done a good job. Unfortunately for them, though, we picked up more points in our final 10 games than Rafa got from his 10. They went down not because Rafa did a shit job, but because he did an alright job with what he had, but Allardyce and our players did even better.

Mind, he did nowhere near as good a job as some mags are making out.
 
Poor bugger didn't like this clause Ashley put into the contract
"In the name of God, I, Raphael Benitez Maudes, take you, Newcastle United, to be my cloob, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish all the days of my life. This is my solemn vow."
 
He will invoke release clause after the Euros when Spain perform poorly and leave the Mags with a panic to find a new Manager and ole another transfer window
 
Sick of hearing about the chump already, He had a mare at Newcastle and they are going on like he's solved all of their problems.

Paolo Di Canio, Gus Poyet & Dick Advocaat got a better tune out of lesser players.

They seem to have forgotten theyve been relegated, Seen some say they are in a better position than us, They are genuinally another breed. :)

The mags are so arrogant that next season will be so easy they might as well not relegate them and just tell the two teams in the play offs that they can't come up.

Save some time.
