Newcastle Manager Situation

[Deleted member 6830]

At the end of the day, if we perform the way we can for the last 9 games, whoever they appoint is immaterial.

 

[Oh Bugger]

Let's not pretend that we wouldn't be excited if we were gonna get Benitez

I can't stand him. So no pretence here

 

[geordiedean]

Domestically he was at the helm for valenicas best spell in their history winning them 2 la liga titles and reaching the champions league final twice in a row how anyone on here can say big Sam is a better manager is absolutely beyond me

 

[Scotty]

with that amazing squad who knows what they'll achieve. Europe?

nah, even when they finish on 54 points you've got to figure a few other teams will just manage to string a run of results together to beat that

"Never been in a relegation battle, doesn't know what it takes"

To those saying that, a lot of people said that about Dick and he kept us up - the same will happen up the road, Benitez will keep them up

Could be an excellent appointment, will be genuinely interesting to see how he deals with his first relegation battle though.
The pressure of the season where he nearly won the league with Liverpool caused a few meltdowns.

simply not true man

It's a shame there isn't an all-encompassing thread on our managerial situation. Someone should look into that.

Shouldn't you be out celebrating hounding another manager out ?

 

[lordy]

Yep confirmed

for shure

 

[walesie]

Did he buy Higuain ? Great buy for them wasn't he ?

He did, still managed to go from 2nd to out of the champions league places in his time there.

 

[Reiver]

That sounds like bad news to me mate.

If Benitez comes in he'll have 3 away games and a derby to kick off with ....... that'll calm things down on here.

No new manager has ever rescued a team at this stage.

Good manager imo. The good news is 10 games to turn the mags around seems unlikely, but he's a good appointment, no doubt about it. McClaren to Benetiz

I just assumed as every club I am aware of him managing is a club at the top of the table.

Nah he's had a few shit Spanish jobs like don't think any survived these battles mind

I wouldnt though mate. It has been a very long time if ever he has managed a club so deep in the shit its unreal. He has no experience of a relegation battle, he has always bought at the top end of the market and to me is completely unsuited to manage a club like Newcastle or Sunderland. Might be wrong, hope I am not but a very bad choice in my opinion. Plus he is a moany twat as well.

 

[JL1985]

Newcastle were always going to be well up for the derby whether McClaren was in charge or not. It changes nothing from our perspective.

 

[scott934]

Unless it's Pique as player-manager I'll not be worrying about this.

 

[Headingley Slog Fest]

He bottled the league title big time with Liverpool like when he opened his mouth against Fergie

 

[sid84763]

Just need a gravy stain down his shirt and he'll fit right in with the rest of the f***ing stig of dump lookingcunts!!!

Lets them get past Monday before making a decision on his impact.
