St1pe Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I still think as things stand, moyes, Rodgers and Benitez won't have any better club's to go to than us Benitez did a fantastic job at Chelsea and Napoli, didn't do too badly at Real, he'll have far better options that he'll turn down that would be better than joining us.

Lush Vlad Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I still think as things stand, moyes, Rodgers and Benitez won't have any better club's to go to than us The first two, maybe. Benitez? No way. He's managed top/elite clubs and done pretty well, everywhere he's been. Why would he decide to manage a team, that looks odds on to get relegated?

Where are these better options? Dont remember too many top clubs without a manager right now which was the actual point made. Not that i think he would come here at all like.

Lush Vlad Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 There was talk of him being interested in the job, a while back wasn't there? Was it when Pardew left? I know a lot of Liverpool fans that say his football is pretty dull. But I'd love him here and he supposedly wants to return to the Prem. I just don't think he would come here. Not this season, anyway. Probably not ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Benitez is just an obsessive tactician. I'd rather be dull with a plan than dull and shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 A lot of managers (domestic and foreign) want to work in the Premier League. Take out the top clubs like Man Utd and Chelsea who will attract a higher level of manager, there are few options available. How many jobs are likely to come up in the near future? West Brom and Norwich perhaps. We are a more attractive option that those clubs despite the owner - especially for foreign managers who often work in similar conditions. The trouble is the manager you would go for now or who would be interested in the job now is not necessarily the same one as in the Summer. There isn't time to build something - you need an immediate impact. Can a foreign manager unfamiliar with the Premier League do that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 We should be looking at that and putting a package together. But with Ashley, I fully expect him to just sit and do nothing, until it's too late. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 If we wanted Benitez we could probably get him, our problem has always been that we don't want a good manager, not that we're an unattractive proposition.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way. He's managed top/elite clubs and done pretty well, everywhere he's been. Why would he decide to manage a team, that looks odds on to get relegated? Coin, lots of coin. Looking at our previous managerial appointments I don't think there's any way in the world we're likely to get an expensive, foreign, experienced manager of high repute and status. It's literally exactly the opposite of what we've been doing for the last eight years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 All depends whether Ashley wants to gamble with the new Tv money on the line. Stick with McClaren and big chance of losing out. Sack him and hire cheap, unproven, low quality shit managers, might as well keep McClaren and his staff and avoid paying compensation. If he wants to guarantee the club's future in the Premier League, go out and get the big name, high quality, experienced manager. Yes, it might cost more but it will be peanuts when the new money comes into play. Ashley hasn't faced this big of a risk since owning the club. How he sees the payoff will likely decide our future.

Consortium of one Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This guy gets it: Newcastle attitudes and platitudes are cause for concern as battle looms http://gu.com/p/4gztv?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Copy_to_clipboard I do wonder whether Charnley and co ever read the press and think to themselves that the reporter has a point. Or do they just believe McClaren when he tells them it will all be OK in the end. And because Charnley, Ashley and Bishop are not football people, are they able to spot the signs that the coach s struggling? I think a blind person could see that the coach is struggling.
