Benitez styles is like Cruyff compared to what Simeone would have them playing.
Aye but once he builds a team he'll have them winning which the Arsenal customers will have to respect. Shouldn't bring him in straight after Wenger mind, too much of a culture shock.
 
I think he's gone in the summer irregardless of where we finish.

depends on the expectations of benitez

if he says I want 100M quid and a top 7 challenge, Ashley might go for it- he spent 80m the relegation season but would probably be a bit more reassured this time.

if he only offers him a 'warchest' of 40-50m and a target of safety I can imagine benitez walking out
 
You think that he's off? I don't think so tbh. This is all relying on if he gets money in the summer right?

I think he is. He's ambitious and the overwhelming evidence of the last 10 years is that Ashley doesn't support the same level of ambition that Benitez has, come the summer he will look to have the support for us to challenge for the top half and it's whether Ashley gives him to budget to realise that.

100% agree with this. All depending on how fat mike wants to play it. If he reverts to type, we will end up with some divvy like Gary Rowett
 
I don't care if he stays or goes.

They are in a better position than us whether we like it or not. This is heartbreaking to all us Sunderland fans and shows just how far behind we are if all we have got is to laugh at whether he stays or goes.

"He's ambitious" translates as- he's a chequebook manager who can only operate with a huge budget.
 
In the past 13 years he's managed big clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Mardrid and Napoli. Not won a single league title


so the same as Wenger
 
I don't know if I'm missing something but I don't understand the Benitez wank off? What's he ever done that could be deemed exceptional? He's had phenomenal squads and probably underachieved with them, finally gets an average team and gets them relegated. Spends a phenomenal amount of money in the championship and still can't hold down top :confused:
 
Why the fuck would Arsenal want Rafa? They've qualified for the CL about 3m times in a row, and could take their pick of many managers in Europe, and beyond

Rafa is/was an unbelievable appointment FOR US (despite what you lot say), but he'll not be in the top 50 on Arsenals list

Because he is a world class manager, silly.

They might as well keep Wenger it's like Arsenal selling Sanchez and signing Dwight Gayle :lol:
