What it showed was a bunch of supporters who'd done their homework...
And I agree that he has no deep seated affinity to the club but his family still live in Wirell and through time might well gain that affinity (all other circumstances permitting).
For the above reason and many more I'd rather have him than any of the failed rentamanagers currently in or out of training jobs...and we've had lots of them.

I don't doubt he's a good manager marra.

I just don't get the way some of your fans go on. 'In spite of the lies they tell us' ffs :lol:

Well, he reportedly did identify us as a job he wanted and apparently he approached us first.

Benitez longed for another club as embedded in the fabric of its city as Liverpool.

Seemingly, he had his eyes trained on Newcastle for a sustained period.

“He started talking about potential jobs that might come up in the summer,” Smith explains, recalling a conversation with Benitez over a coffee just days after he was sacked by Real in January 2016.

“The job I said to him that would be the most intelligent was Southampton.

“But even then he was absolutely fixated on Newcastle. He’d obviously identified it, and this at a time when Newcastle were chaotic and in the bottom three, while Southampton were sixth.

“But he kept saying: ‘Newcastle is a bigger club. Newcastle is a bigger club.’ This was way before he was linked to them.

“He was fixated on it and, this is supposition, but there must have been a time when he played at St James’ Park with Liverpool and thought: ‘This is my kind of place.’”

If that was the case then surely he would have had a plan to keep you's up?

Not be scratching around for draws?

No matter how you try you can't explain away a supposed world class manager being unable to keep you's up.

Wasn’t aware I’d quoted that article before. Or said Rafa Benitez is a world class manager...

Sadly, their home form will have them safe and clear by 10-12 pts.
Whatever u say about the FSW, he gets defensively organised and makes them hard to beat. Wish Grayson cud do the same. Surely it can't be that hard ??
Drill , drill and more drill. Mornings and afternoons until it clicks.
George Graham was the master with his length of string !
 
Lot of our fans trying to convince themselves he's still pissed off on this thread now, the fun if any will come once the window opens. They might not be playing great football but are hard to beat, that's all Benitez could do really at this stage.
