SUPERTOON Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Anybody more nervous now of relegation? My apathy will be completely gone if Rafa is in charge, staying up will mean something. I'm absolutely the same. Yep, although try not to think about it for now, and for the first time in years we can actively support and cheer our team again. Be nice to get nervous before match days again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 John Carver to Benitez in less than 12 months Anybody more nervous now of relegation?

Mole_Toonfan Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 My apathy still isn't completely gone, it will be if i see that he's got complete control and he's backed in the summer though. No chance he'd cone if he wasn't given control of transfers imo. Aye but the skeptism still can't be escaped until i see it confirmed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Statistically 7th best in terms of win percentage in the Prem era from what I read. Admittedly I have no idea who is below him to qualify the headline statistic. Not that it will help him in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The Chronicle @ChronicleNUFC 47s48 seconds ago BREAKING: Newcastle players called in to the training ground. To meet Rafa? To meet rafa? He hasn't even met the board yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Probably already mentioned but Benitez said he would only take the talks further and travel up to the North East if the managers seat was vacant. Hence why McClaren was sacked now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Carr can still scout though. Suspect the types of player he recommends are probably much more up Rafa's street than they every were Pardew or McClaren's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 wonder what happens to carr now then? guessing rafa wants total control of recruitment? Moves to his role at Mondial Sport Management full-time, just picks different clubs to hawk his players too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toondave Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ive managed to completely ignore the mire we're in these past couple of days but he's going to be gone in May isn't he we can't have nice things we're Newcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Be weird having the whole forum behind a manager for once. be class if Ian W gets on his back from like day 1 imo Having a manager that isn't a standing joke will be hard to get used to. Having a better manager than rival clubs is incomprehensible to me now. gonna be weird not immediately hating someone tbh I reckon my best bet is to start hounding him out from Monday night. Keep up!

Belfast Boy Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Can't believe this is actually happening, just hope we haven't left it too late. You can easily see this making a huge change in player performance which is a disgrace but I will take it. I wonder who his favourites will be and where this will leave the likes of Colback and Gouffran. It's the hope that kills you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I still think it's a good move too late. It's a valid point. The writing has been on the wall for send time now, they could/should have done this a couple of months ago. Still, hard to complain too much.

Stifler Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 What if when Pardew went that Benitez was the man they lined up (it was rumoured that he was on the shortlist), but then Real Madrid came in for him. What if all that was the plan and McClaren was the back up guy all along? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
