Collage Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 So what's the word in Spain VI, is this pretty much a done deal or what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Think this could go tits up. I can't see how his demands will be met on a 3yr deal if reports are true. We have to many selfish tossers like Carr on the board, If Rafa is after his own backroom and to be named manager and total control, where does that leave Carr? Would love a double firing. Because Charnley isn't gonna need advising if Benitez has control. Makes Carr's role redundant. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/03/10/rafa-benitez-set-for-final-newcastle-talks/ This story ↑↑↑ is of concern.

George Bailey Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 This is not happening imo. Something has gone awry here and it will be all the way.... Far too much fannying about, far too long and the reason why they haven't made any statements about McCuntybollocks. Again imo. I just don't see them doing this at all.

Mattoon Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Rags are saying we haven't even spoken to him properly yet, this is going to drag out, IF it happens. This is it though, do or die, last roll of the dice and all them analogies. If he fucks us off then we're as good as fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookidge Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 All of this is so cruel if it doesn't come off. I've allowed myself to dream that it would happen. At the start of the week I was accepting relegation and hopefully in time Ashley would sell the club. This has allowed me to hope and if it doesn't come off and we end up with a clogger. It will be the same situation as before. But instead I will feel awful. Will have to wait for the apathy to come back after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Already been said the delay is due to the back room staff, which makes perfect sense. They not only have to be contacted but then have to agree terms too. The guy is bringing in all his own staff! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There's a lot to iron out and agree, backroom staff to organise, terms of his contract between now and end of the season and beyond. Up til now has been a "If we do this, will you manage us?" and now that's he said yes, he's coming to finalise the nitty gritty. The delay means nothing IMO.
