Ankles Bennett Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If it's true that Benitez is genuinely interested in replacing Mclaren I wouldn't wait until we lose to Bournemouth to appoint him. Bin Mclaren today and get Rafa in. I'd bin Mclaren even if we beat Bournemouth because it probably won't be a convincing win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Benitez, Pellegrini, Rodgers, Moyes, Rudi Garcia.... some big names being linked, I hope there's some truth in there. It went well in January when so many good managers were linked You're forgetting the erection-inducing summer recruitment drive spanning 80+ candidates.

kager Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 If it's true that Benitez is genuinely interested in replacing Mclaren I wouldn't wait until we lose to Bournemouth to appoint him. Bin Mclaren today and get Rafa in. I'd bin Mclaren even if we beat Bournemouth because it probably won't be a convincing win. I agree with this one hundred percent. This whole "lose and you're gone, win and you still have a job" thing is crazy. If it's gotten to that point, one win won't change anything. Just get rid of him now or regardless of the result and go get someone who can do the job while there's still time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Telegraph saying that Ashley will leave the decision up to Charnley. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/12183818/Mike-Ashley-alarmed-by-Newcastle-slump-but-will-let-Lee-Charnely-decide-Steve-McClarens-future.html On the surface that's bad news. But Charnley is ultimately looking out for himself - if keeping McClaren backfires, he could lose his job. Surely he's shitting himself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 We won't win tomorrow. Bournemouth have got a canny team who are giving their all for the club whilst our bunch if spineless cowards have downed tools for the season. McClaren should have been sacked a long time ago, certainly straight after Wednesday night though, and someone like Benitez brought in to try to coax this lot into at least trying and picking up as many points as possible in the last few games. If McClaren sees the season out we won't even reach 30 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 "Telegraph Sport understands Charnley still wants to give McClaren more time. He has not made any contingency plans for McClaren’s departure at this stage, even though the likes of David Moyes, Brendan Rodgers and Rafael Benitez are out of work."

But Charnley is ultimately looking out for himself - if keeping McClaren backfires, he could lose his job. Surely he's shitting himself? Article sums up perfectly why we are in the mess we are. No plans in place in case we do sack him, and a crisis meeting if Bournemouth beat us? The crisis has been going on for months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 McClaren is getting away with murder from the fans as well, the abuse others have suffered and he is doing worse than everyone. No wonder he walks round with a permanent smirk he is untouchable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
