Rafael Benitez

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.

Indeed. A McClaren NUFC was exactly the opponent they needed to get back on track.

Salary is over £3m a year according to the Independent.

Cmon Dave, paste the story man your slipping [emoji14]

 

 

It's not up yet, just seen the back page from tomorrow.

 

That's higher than any La Liga manager besides Lucho and Simeone (Zidane is on less than that, for example).

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.

 

:bluf:

 

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. :)

Class appointment tinged with the frustration that this should have been done after Chelsea.  18 days and Stoke, Bournemouth followed.  Massively frustrating

 

Edit: Could have joined the squad in La Manga, so frustrating

Can't wait to see his first team sheet man. Love to see how he envisions setting us up.

Elliot

Janmaat Lascelles Mitrovic Colback

Shelvey Wijnaldum

Sissoko Ayoze Marveaux

Gouffran

 

Curveballs everywhere

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.

Rafa Benitez being lined up apparently.

What are people's thoughts on this?

Aye, been saying this all day. Makes it all the more frustrating that Benitez was available, could be difference between staying up and going down, even with him.

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.

Can see Wijnaldum being asked to move further forward with him being the top goal scorer

 

He's been at his most effective playing wide left and cutting in. Hopefully Rafa swings him back out there again.
