Tooj 17 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Well they've given control to Rafa so you never know. Footballing genius is Mike according to some so that shouldn't be too far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 He did aye, albeit out of desperation but there is hope it's acknowledgement that his past way didn't work. Had this football lark all figured out about 4 years ago iirc, guess he's just been coasting since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 If we go down, and it looks like we will, Benetez may not invoke his "I'm outa here" deal. He may be egotistical enough to say "I didn't keep you up, but I'll bring you back". Failure to accomplish something can sometimes make a person more eager to prove he can succeed. He may surprise everyone by not doing what they think he will if Newcastle are relegated. He may feel he owes those who gave him such support.

sammynb 3355 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There is a reason why the club kept Cathro when they got shot of McClaren and his entourage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35080 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Heard from a good source Benitez is on £3m. The bonus is an extra million if he keeps us up. The other bonus is Ashley has wasted some more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33202 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Should've used the doumbia/Savait money to pay for someone like Rafa in January and given him full control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 If Rafa had seen something in the squad, the club or the board he might have stayed. But he hasn't, he hasn't and he hasn't, so he won't. It'll be Cathro taking us back up, then inexplicably replaced by Pardew the following season.

Alex 35080 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Given there's likely to be us, Villa and the Mackems going down I don't see coming straight back up as being a formality anyway. But aye, can't envisage Benitez staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKANDWHITEGEORDIE 0 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Is Gary Neville worth a shot? After Valencia he will be desperate to try and relaunch his Managerial career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aye, can't envisage Benitez staying Think Aston VIlla are in real trouble. Don't they have debt to Lerner and to a bank? We only owe money to Ashley. It's not a formality of course, but depending on who makes up the squad in the Championship I think we could have the best team down there, as we did in 09/10. Actually getting excited about seeing what Aarons, Mitrovic and Perez* will do to the clubs down there *I know, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I think we'll go for Pearson and probably not a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I really can't see Rafa staying. Even if he has that strong a desire to stay in England I would imagine he'll get better offers than us. And when he does go, I can see Ashley viewing it more as an experiment that hasn't worked, and then going back to form in appointing some no mark English manager. This is far more disapointing than relegation for my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not Cathro then aye it'll be some no mark that half of us forgot about half a decade ago, the hope would be someone like Moyes as Tooj brought up the other day but that isn't likely. A lot said at the time that if we go down Rafa will go and we'll see a return to the same ridiculous appointments that have seen us get a bunch of winners like McClaren, Carver, Pardew and Kinnear, and that's what I'd be comfortable assuming will be the case.

I think Bruce is a fairly good chance unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) We'll get Bruce in the if they fail to get promoted this year. Much like the MacLaren appointment. If that did happen I reckon he'd get us straight back up but we'd be fucked with him in charge in the Prem.

trophyshy 7083 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've always thought it probably doesn't matter who is in charge with Ashley here, I never imagined it'd be demonstrated this brutally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 298 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Spot on trophy. I'd be happy if we got Appleton (unlikely), Neville or .... or..... anyone other than the guy Ashleys cnuts pick Also, not sure we even have the squad or the mentality to bounce back up. We thoroughly deserve where we are and still I refuse to blame the managers tbh. Edited April 4, 2016 by scoobos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
