I've said it before he's too good for them. No point in even trying to say anything other than he's a brilliant manager and I'd love him here, would you not?

A fair assessment, but you're not allowed to be objective on here

He'll say Atsu is a top winger if you want him to

Benitez will get his way this time because Ashley will not want to upset the entente cordiale with the Newcastle fans and because he realises he probably owes him one after Benitez securing promotion at the first attempt.

Benitez, to my understanding, is a manager that likes complete autonomy in terms of football matters, and his popularity means he can apply pressure to Ashley accordingly for the above reasons.

Ashley won't always just swallow it mind. Benitez will try this sort of power play once too often and that'll be that.

The latest story will probably be no more than chip papers over the next few weeks, but mark my words it will end in a falling out of the nature described in the article at some stage in the not too distant future.

He's guff. I hope he stays and continues to cry like a bitch boy.

The Rafagator. They begged him to stay, even though no one else wants him.

You must have been astounded when he relegated you then.

That was Ashley and McLaren, man...

Didn't realise he took over a Valencia team just beaten in the previous year's European Cup (2001 iirc), with a top squad assembled by Hector Cuper.
I wrongly believed he'd taken over an ailing Spanish giant and revived them singlehandedly. Pah !
Overrated and way past sell by date.

TBf I think he's been pretty poor for them. Very good PR man though so he's played them and the media beautifully.

He was initially employed to keep them up. He failed.

He then somehow got them to beg him to stay and 'rafalutionise' them. IMHO he's failed on that anarl. He's turned them into a shit premier league team. Hardly a rafalution.

He's now got them practically begging him to stay again. No real reason why he won't fail again next season.

He's a very experienced man playing them like a fiddle.

If a Sunderland manager did that, permenantly threatening to resign, is get a bit cheesed off tbh. Do you want the job or not? Those mugs take it in every time.

TBf keegan did the same - he was for ever resigning or driving to scotch corner never to return.... so it must be something about their fan base that leave them open to this kind of emotional blackmail.

Que?

He's walked.

And the answer to that pile of shite is still "no"

I think my tears would wash the gravy out of my toon top if that was true.

Dear f***ing me . His only league success in 13 years has been with spending £54m on already the strongest squad in the championship and Brighton going on holiday as soon as they secured promotion.

Creased at both of these. Dekka McInnes wouldn't touch your job with a stolen cock, incredible that you're both turning your nose up at the thought of Rafa Benitez managing your currently toxic club
