Tioté? Sissoko? Vurnon Anita? Colback? Saivet? Or even, when fit, a relocated Coloccini? Dilemmas, dilemmas. Louise Taylor is desperate for Colo to play at DM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It's only since he became manager of Valencia, but it's encouraging. Also as you can see he's never lost his 2nd game in charge, this time that's the derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Actually met him back in Qatar in 2014 During the Italian Super cup, Napoli were staying in our hotel and he was nice enough to take pictures with us, the same night after they won he came and sat down with us in the restaurant, was pretty down to earth and properly enjoyed his company. did not see this coming though otherwise i would've given him a few heads ups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm still struggling to get my head around this, like. It's absolutely mental. It's given me back the thing that I thought was lost when it comes to NUFC; hope. Genuinely can't recall anything like this, it seems like we've been starved of any enjoyment for so long.

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...

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.

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...
