Klaus Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 They would only be getting a new manager for the short term initially anyway, so wages should not be a huge problem compared to the cost of relegation. You would think this anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Stupid thing is we get infinitely less product out of £12-15m French flop signings, pay what it takes to get Rafa in, it'll be pennies compared to what's at stake here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle also want to make sure they have secured the right man to replace McClaren before pulling the trigger, as they do not want to be accused of making a panic appointment.Otherwise known as conducting business like they have a fucking clue. if it works to their plan its good practice, if (when) they fail to get anyone to replace him it makes the situation somehow worse (which is impressive by itself) as the players are barely listening to McClaren as is what are they going to be like once they know the club really wants to sack him but can't because there is literally no one better than him willing to come.

midds Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 No chances Moyes is going to ask for 4m, I'd bet he was on less than 1m at Sociedad. It's about 3 league places higher in prize money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What nonsense. When there are 10 games left and you're in 19th place, any change is a 'panic appointment.' Every minute that goes by shows just how woefully unprepared we are at all times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 No chances Moyes is going to ask for 4m, I'd bet he was on less than 1m at Sociedad. Why not? He was on at least that at Everton and we are quite clearly desperate, he's in the position to ask for what he damn well wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 What has happened here? I haven't been able to follow the news today but the thread has 40 new pages. He's still not sacked but it's looking good? Anything else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Eurgh, it's started creeping into my head now that all the rags are just running with the Rafa story to generate clicks and sell papers. The hope I'm clinging to is that they've not come out to say they're fully behind McClaren yet, like they did in the past, especially with Pardle.

Chris_R Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Pay Rafa £175k basic (McClaren's quarter of the season wages) plus £10m if he keeps us up. Everyone's a winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Honestly - there is no way Rafa is remotely interested. But if he was and we weren't doing everything to get him here... An absolute standout Candidate. Would absolutely love him here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Really can't see how Ashley has made so much money through business. Why on Earth would you say to someone in our position (financially for him) "you deal with it". Even more absurd when that person is Charnley.

relámpago blanco Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm fairly sure the first mention of Rafa was on here hypothetically. It won't happen. I doubt Mclaren will br sacked either. If we get Rafa before the next game I will enter robot wars next year and the robot will be called Bafa Renitez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just give him 700k a year basic and 4 million in tips. He'll like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I know it's almost certainly all a sham anyway, but how does the board sack a member of the board? Just another reason why we're a f***ing joke. Quite easily actually, they can vote him off. Without it going to an embarrassing and expensive tribunal? He's probably not even on the board. This is my thinking, would he need be a director firstly? McClaren is a Director of the football club. Just had a chuckle to myself reading this, I mean what a f****** shambles. We hired the bloke as a director man Steve Clueless McClaren on the board with Bob Moncur, the mysterious Graham Carr and Penfold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the highest paid managers in the Premier League when he was at Everton despite the fact they were heavily in debt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 He's still not sacked but it's looking good? Anything else? He's still not sacked and it's not looking particularly good just about sums it all up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Really can't see how Ashley has made so much money through business. Why on Earth would you say to someone in our position (financially for him) "you deal with it". Even more absurd when that person is Charnley. He might be giving Charnley a chance to un-hang himself. He (Charnley) wanted McClaren, he brought him in so he should deal with him. I doubt for one minute that Ashley doesn't sign off the new manager but I think he will leave the firing of McClaren to the people who will have appointed him and I don't blame him. I would guess that the ramifications of appointing McClaren will be seen at the end of the season and I wouldn't like to be Charnley at that time.

Ketsbaia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Doubling a 700k salary is pennies with this new TV deal. Absolute pocket change. Even if Benitez comes in, keeps us up and goes I'll be satisfied. You'd think such a drastic impact would convince Chashley that it's worth investing in a good manager. Again, a good manager will probably earn £10-15m more in prize money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what?, its far more than he's worth. Benitez is the kind of manager you pay whatever it takes to get, Moyes isn't. If we're going to throw money at a manager I'd rather offer Benitez £1m for 10 games and £3m bonus if we stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that even a slight improvement in league placings would ultimately fund the increase in salary of the better boss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
