NUFC LATEST: Steve McClaren waiting to be sacked with Rafa Benitez at the top of club's shortlist to replace him. More to follow @MailSport

What a load of bollocks :lol:

Sportsmail understands the former Real Madrid boss has been spoken about in depth by the club’s board and they will use intermediaries to gauge his interest.

 

So we've spent 72 hours  discussing whether the former Real Madrid manager would be an upgrade for 19th placed Newcastle United and have now sent a carrier pigeon to Liverpool to see what he thinks.

I'm reluctant to even engage with the Benitez rumours but brief moments of hope in amongst the soul crushing disappointment are about all we have left, so what the hell...

 

A manager of that standing could completely change the mindset of the club, demand higher standards throughout and possibly even get Ashley properly engaged and interested, there would be genuine cause for optimism for the first time in years...

 

I'm trying to remind myself of that ambitious and inspiring short list of managers they leaked to the press with names like Tuchel, Galtier etc on it.

 

This Benitez thing is probably the same sort of bull.

Exclusive report via @HITCsport from last week remains the case - Rafa Benitez would seriously consider a temporary role at Newcastle.

The scenario we've got McClaren waiting for his dismissal whilst we somehow try to convince Benitez to be our manager is an interesting one.

 

If we have that Berahino cash lying around just give that to him.

 

tbf Rafa was on BTsport the other week and expressed his desire to return to work specifically in England. You just never know if the terms are good to him.

Benitez, who was axed from the Bernabeu in January, is keen on a return to the Premier League and has had contact from United.

 

But no deal has been done and while Bentiez has yet to turn down the opportunity, he needs convincing about the powers he would have to reshape the club in the long run.

 

Benitez is being considered but will demand guarantees and influence behind the scenes, as well as on the training ground, if he is to say yes, and he is not yet convinced.

 

Any new boss is likely to be appointed until the end of the season, before talks about the future direction of the club once Newcastle know which division they are in.

 

Benitez’ European reputation – he has also bossed Chelsea, Inter Napioli and Valencia - is considered a plus in motivating an international dressing room short on inspiration.

Inter Napioli?!

If we could convince someone like Rafa to take the job (which I highly doubt), surely the contract would need to be until the end of the season and surviving relegation triggers an automatic 4/5 year extension.

 

Imagine Rafa getting us out of the shit, then leaving to take over a proper club and us ending up with Sherwood.

This would be amazing, I have no Ill feeling of McClaren and would be happy for him to take over the academy but he is just not the right fit for us

We will end up with John Gregory or something like that

 

Fred West. Or Hitler.  Either would be better than Redknapp.

I don't feel sorry for him one bit. He's not an outright cunt like Pardew or Carver, certainly, but he's a complete and utter pansy who lacks the honour to do the decent thing and walk, as was the case with the England job. Pussies like that deserve the humiliation that invariably comes their way.

Watch out fellow pussies, someone's door's getting knocked straight off its hinges tonight if he doesn't get sacked soon.
