nufc4eva Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 What formation will we actually go with under him. Bound to be 4-2-3-1, he loves that formation doesn't he. I was reading about his love of zonal marking today and how Liverpool conceded least set pieces for 2 seasons and his Valencia team conceding least goals in league. Hope he can sort us immediately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUFC Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Yup Would love to know how these journos can be so confident. They often stick their reputations/necks on the line, so there must be some solid info. Journalists are awful, they all copy off each other and usually have no source what so ever, all they care about is selling papers, website hits and twitter followers.

TRon 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? Last update this afternoon from As (who broke the news this morning that it was nearly done) is that talks are still ongoing, and that the holdup is that apparently Benítez demands significant transfer investment since his aim is to transform NUFC into a PL top team again. Note that Balagué writes for As, so I give them some credit when reporting about Benítez. I'm assuming that we would know that Benitez is going to come at a significant cost due to his pedigree. If we've entered into significant talks with him it must be in the knowledge that we are going to have to compete at the top level and invest accordingly. To be fair, we are probably one of a handful of clubs in the Premier who can do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If Benitez comes and fails it'll confirm once and for all that we're beyond recovery under Ashley. McClaren wasn't a fair test because he's a rubbish manager. Benitez is a successful manager and, you would think, could move most clubs forward.

LFEE Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 There must be loads to sort out considering the whole thing is being overhauled. We just have to see what transpires.

Dave Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/newcastle-united-next-manager-mike-ashley-jets-in-to-decide-steve-mcclaren-s-fate-a6924161.html Mike Ashley, the Newcastle United owner, will fly into England today to hold talks with Lee Charnley in which the club’s managing director is expected to present his case for Rafa Benitez to become manager. Benitez’s representatives are prepared for their man to sign a three-year contract to replace Steve McClaren, the current head coach. However, there is the possibility that the former Liverpool manager will not want to take control at St James’ Park until after Newcastle’s trip to title-chasing Leicester City on Monday.
