timeEd32 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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.

St1pe Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-sound-out-rafa-benitez-7518453 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.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Benitez for 10 games I can just about imagine from his point of view, long term is just a completely bonkers proposition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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.

Foluwashola Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 A pussy he's doing what 99% of managers would do. Hold no grudge against him personally like, he's just done a shit job and needs to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
