Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Discussing our change of manager, Jeff Stelling just spouted "are Newcastle fans expectations too high?" To be fair Le Tiss shot him down. What did Le Tiss say? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Our first insight into how the players feel about this, it's from shelvey. It’s obviously sad to see Steve go, because he brought me into the Club and I owe so much to him for bringing me to this great football club, but ultimately it didn’t work out for him here. But we’ve been lucky to get Rafa, because he’s a great organiser of teams, and you hear things from ex-players about how great he is. It’s just an exciting time for the fans and the players to learn more about Rafa Benitez and the way that he wants us to play. He must think a lot of the Club to come in and take over. He’s been at Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Napoli, Liverpool - he’s been at all these top clubs, and I think it speaks so highly of the stature of this Club for him to take on an opportunity like this. You see the honours he’s won, and you don’t win those without knowing what you’re doing. He’s a top manager and everyone’s excited in the changing room. It’s like when you go to school for your first day - everyone’s trying to impress the manager, everyone’s in early and in the gym. It’s exciting to work with someone who’s worked at the top clubs - he was at Real Madrid earlier this season, and that speaks highly of the calibre of the manager he is. He’ll bring a new lease of life to Newcastle. The players are excited, and everyone’s excited around the city. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 These 10 games will shape the future of this club but I absolutely can't wait to get them started. Fuck, this feels amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's going to be an absolute of a disaster if we go down, and I have seen this club shoot themselves in the foot too many times before that I'm worried it's going to happen again.

BlueStar Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Discussing our change of manager, Jeff Stelling just spouted "are Newcastle fans expectations too high?" To be fair Le Tiss shot him down. Stelling's just playing devil's advocate. Generally speaks fondly of all the clubs in the north east. Yeah, definitely. Was at a talk in with him and he was very complimentary about the fans up here. Was particularly brutal when talking about Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flanacan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Liverpool fan in peace here. Glad to see he's received such an excited welcome, a few years back he was tipped for the Villa job and they were absolutely disgusting towards him. Joke perhaps on them now. If your owner (ha?) can allow him to build a proper project then it could be a rosy future, he'll have a lot of input in all aspects of the club such as the youth system etc. But I have to say he's entered into another club with troublesome owners, he knows how to pick em Anyway goodluck, hope you guys stay up. He was responsible for the finest period of our history in my lifetime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 The next 2 games will determine whether we'll be OK or whether it'll be squeaky bum time until the end of the season. It's clear that the players are keen to impress and, equally, that McClaren couldn't motivate them. If they get their shit together, we could be catching up with Swansea and Palace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Flanacan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 What was that about? Just the usual vile he gets from a lot of English fans. Boring defensive coach who doesn't have a clue, fat Spanish waiter etc. Not good enough for them. Wasn't just a minority thing either, bizzare but fuck em.

He was responsible for the finest period of our history in my lifetime Makes me sad watching that. I think back to how he was treated by Hicks, Gillett, Purslow and Ayre. He didn't deserve that end to his time with us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Le Tiss say? Something along the lines of "no I don't they're expectations are too high Jeff. Last week they all expected to be relegated, this week some of them expect to stay up. Given the calibre of the man they've brought in that seems reasonable enough to me" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
