Village Idiot Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I suspect Benítez will not commit himself right now, since the Spain slot will be open after the Euros and he certainly would be a frontrunner if he is up for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I always wonder what the reaction would have been if we had appointed Ranieri before Leicester. I would have been pissed off tbh. Yet at the same time I was fairly happy with McClaren Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mighty__mag Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Just read that the board met today in York without McClaren, he is expected to take training as normal then will meet afterwards with Charnley & co to learn of his fate. Guess tomorrow will be the day he's axed. Another day of anticipation. Hope it's a decent replacement, or an immediate one. Wouldn't be best pleased with Cathro & Simpson taking us to Leicester, or even worse the Derby,surley they have to move asap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a carbon copy of last season when Pardew left but we let his coaching team takeover and look how that went. If, and its a big if, he is sacked tomorrow, I would hope a new manager to be appointed by the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id far rather an owner/chairman who dreamed the impossible & wanted to raise our club higher than it currently is. Rather than the current lot who do nothing but talk it down. Peoples view of the club is what you make it, the owner/chairman/manager sets the vision & expectation. You can create an impressive one with belief in your club, or laugh off your chances. Stoke just signed a champions league winner & West Ham bought a player who created more chances than any other in Europe's top 5 leagues. Both players have played their part in beating us this season. Its a shame for us they didnt write off their chances in advance. We should be going for the best managers we can, because why not? Sell the club to them. Get rejected. Tell them they were wrong to say no. What do you have to lose dreaming big? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to sell the club to him, to persuade him to come, even if it's just for 10 games this season." – SIR JOHN HALL This is all very obvious and very basic. Mourinho is always the level and type of Manager that should be at Newcastle United, but that is obviously not what Ashley believes, thinks, or wants. Under Ashley, that is also what an awful lot of Newcastle United supporters (particularly the younger ones who have known nothing better) have come to believe and accept - Managers like Mourinho are now TOTALLY out of our reach. Ashley's total obsession with "aiming for 4th bottom" every season has infected the club and many of us supporters so comprehensively, that many of us can never imagine anything better! It wasn't very long ago, the Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan eras, but it might as well be 100 years ago. If we do really well for the rest of the season, and fulfil Ashley's ambition (and therefore stay up) we can expect pretty much the same again next season, no matter who the manager is. Reality really hurts (well, it hurts me) but I don't expect everyone to agree. People have almost forgotten . . . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
