BONTEMPI Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Get the right attitude on Monday night and we may just surprise Leicester. They will be in squeaky bum time due to being so close to the finishing line, so it may play into our hands. Time to really see what our players are made of.

A McClaren NUFC was exactly the opponent they needed to get back on track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Massively heartened by the appointment and have watched his little interview a couple of times now. Was struck by the contrast of him and McClaren, the positivity, the organisation, the plan, the goals and the knowhow to get the job done. No bullshit, no spin, no waffle. After hearing him, a proper manager, speak about the club, the fans and the players it's no the wonder the players simply weren't responding to McClaren - utter fraud (nice guy) but an utter fraud and they clearly had no belief in him or his message. I think they'll respond to Benitez. I'm not buzzing yet because we're still very much in the shit but we're looking up now and we've finally got a bloke in charge who can get shit done. It's on man!

It's so excited to be engaged in the club again and actually look forward to a game. Not only has the club got a lift but this place has as well, can't wait to get into some actual football discussion instead of calling the manager and players a set of cunts. This may well be the switch that flicks me right back into it again. Yesterday I couldn't have given a fuck, today I care again, if we stay up and Benitez stays and is backed in the market again then I'll get myself and the boy a ST next season. I needed a reason and Benitez is it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Still cannot get over this. Rafa Benitez is our manager in 19th. Mad. Hope to fuck we stay up and kick on. Strange to feel hopeful about this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Class appointment tinged with the frustration that this should have been done after Chelsea. 18 days and Stoke, Bournemouth followed.

thomas Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Missed a lot of this thread due to most of it going on during the workday, but does anyone know - or has anyone talked about - how long this was planned? Lots of rumors that flew about but when it came the day, he came in, his staff came in, they met and it was sorted. That's fairly unusual, even for a club that specializes in unusual.

That's higher than any La Liga manager besides Lucho and Simeone (Zidane is on less than that, for example). Luke Edwards reckons it's only £2 mill in the Telegraph. Allardyce was on 3 at West Ham iirc. Still pinching myself over this by the way. Been grinning to myself like an absolute nutter since the news broke.
