TRon Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 So much negativity in pundits over this appointment - don't get that at all. Shows how clueless some of these folk are - how can they not see Rafa having a +ve effect. There are some pundits who are genuine football fans, there was a decent one on the Sunday Supplement this morning who was really positive, although I don't know his name. Henry Winter is another one. These are people who, like Rafa, appreciate clubs which are historically football cities. Then there are others who probably resent the fact that a huge name like Rafa was prepared to come to Newcastle because it goes against their agenda that we are an irrelevant club with deluded fans.

pedro111 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hopefully Rafa will find somewhere round Newcastle/Northumberland that he and his family love even more so than the Wirral and he will become our manager for the next 15 years! Let me dream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The media were happy to make a song and dance about it for week and then all day on Friday when it was announced. Now that the 'shock' of it happening has worn off there is no need for them to carry on with their love in of us or Benitez. We won't be allowed to have Benitez from the media, even if he keeps us up they will start with speculation over the Spain job in the summer, then if he's still here (especially if he's doing reasonably well for us) there will be constant speculation about him going elsewhere, it will be like how when we had Owen, Ba, Cabaye, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 All those pundits, ex-players and fans of other clubs who say we would be better off with Pearson and the like.

Carlito Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I refuse to listen to the so called experts on the matter, it's like our new Liverpool friends have come on here and said, he's never been well liked in the media circuit because he suffers no fools. After the shitfest Pardew, Carver the McClaren have served up you'd have to have some severe learning difficulties to think an established Manager like Benitez won't do better just by being there. Plus this is little old Newcastle, too far from London to be any kind of significant. Let them spout the s*** they want to spout, don't let them spoil your party. It's funny because a lot of sections in the media actually talked up Pardew and McClaren. It's all political bullshit to help their agenda. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 This whole 'relegation scrap' type of manager is utter guff like. Rafa wins football matches and that's what we will need to stay up.

The West Ham fans should ram the "be careful what you wish for" down the throats of all those idiots who said it when they wanted Big Fat Sam out. I'm glad NUFC have appointed Benitez rather than appoint the utter mediocrity of a Pearson, Moyes or similar type manager. At least Benitez is good on paper. We can't say that about many of our previous managers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 In what world is it preferable to have a manager that's normally employed by crap teams and usually involved in relegation scraps over a manager that's normally employed by top teams and wins things?
