Rafael Benítez

Time will tell if he is the right man for the job and a lot will depend on the ins and outs in the transfer window but I agree that if the likes of Pearson or Bruce were in charge they would be more likely to go up at the first time of asking.
Personally I think it will all go pear shaped by Christmas.

What makes you think that?
 
I often think Sam would be the ultimate manager to get a side promoted from the Championship. Unfortunately, unlike Benitez he has never been there and is never likely to go there so I wont be able to test my theory. :lol:

Anybody actually think that appointing Benitez will go against them. This is not La Ligue, this is not the Premiership and like Mark Lawrenson said on 5 Live tonight, its a different ball game when people are actually allowed to challenge....Not a single one of them could be arsed in the most prestigious and high profile league in the world, how will they react to Burton Albion away on some shitty November evening, when its -3C outside, belting down with rain and Thuggy McThugpants is trying break your leg? He will literally need to sell the entire squad and start again if they are gonna get promoted :lol::lol::lol:

Don't underestimate Thuggy BTW. ..he is a decent player.

Bit like us getting Advocat after keeping us up look where that nearly got us
Pressure is massive on the waiter from day one he will be expected to win the league anything else will be a failure

I think he will struggle to either
1) Get the players he has motivated for the more physical aspect of the game in the championship.
2) Not get the right type of player in to grind out results in that league.
3) Change his tactics ,which are usually quite defensive, to enable them to get the wins in tight matches which they will need to get out of the division at the first time of asking.
If any of the above happen the fans will be on his back once the honeymoon period is over and he will walk.

This. If pdc or dick had done the job the waiter did we would have wanted them oot cos they had failed. That lot need a messiah and after shearer, carver and sir bobbys ghost fatboy has just taken it on. They needed a steve bruce or pearon type appointment but their arrogance wouldnt accept that. Despite all of their bile against ashley he has always given them what they wanted. Hopefully this will fail too.

Thing is they both managed to keep us up and they were a clear disaster within almost only 90 minutes of the next season starting.

The fat waiter couldnt do that but hopefully he has a similar start next season.
