AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have to say too, it's refreshing to see a top class manager take on a proper challenge. Benitez has won the biggest prize of them all and managed some of the most successful teams of all time. You wouldn't see Pep or Mourinho take on a side in the bottom 3 on a long term project. It's good to see this. True, hopefully it's more that than just being desperate for work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Fwiw, I'm hearing that it's a done deal - McClaren has been sacked and Rafa is in on a 10 game deal which will be automatically extended to 3 years if we stay up. If we go down, both sides have an option to walk away. Same source who told me to lump money on Rafa yesterday morning. £1,250 come at me Imagine he isnt in before Leicester? You would have to wait to see if we stay up to get paid They'll pay up if anyone is confirmed as "manager", so for 10 games, 9 or 8 then they'll still pay it up. The 10 game thing only refers to caretaker managers like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see this. I'm not surprised in that we are potentially a huge club and that Rafa obviously wants to be back in the Premier, but I am surprised that he would come to a club so far off getting into the CL which is where he's practically lived for the past 10 years.

It's good to see this. In fairness, it's not really the same. He does deserve respect for it but that CL success came a long time ago and he's had mixed results since then. Not like he's come off winning a league title like Mourinho ( i know they were shite this year but they won the league the year before) or Guardiola have. If he had i doubt he'd be taking this job on, still shocked that he is mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose has said in the past that he would fancy Newcastle as a challenge, but he'd want shitloads to spend. I'm not sure Rafa will be much different like.

With the exception of Inter (who were fucking shite when he took over), he has a great win percentage at each club. He was sacked when he was 2 points behind Barca at Madrid. He came third and won the Europa League with Chelsea despite shitty abuse from the shittiest fans in the country. At Napoli he won the Coppa Italia and qualified for the CL. I hated him at Liverpool like. Rivarly and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they never will as their get the best jobs money can buy regardless. So to me it's not really a fair comparison, he's still severely dropping down mind.
