lovejoy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is there any chance at all he'd commit to the club and stay to get us up and go from there or is that just wishful thinking? As others have said, I think there's a chance he'd stay. There's no chance they'd pay his wages though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well let's put it like this, regardless of what happens this season, when Benitez leaves, the club will be in better shape. He's probably done more positive things behind the scenes in 2 weeks than McClaren, Pardew etc did over the last decade. I've literally gone from not giving a fuck if we got relegated to absolutely bricking it now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuy_O Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If we stop up and stays then it'll be amazing, but it's a case of when not if he and Ashley fall out. And judging by Ashley's pathetic comments recently it'll be quite soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty66 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sickening to think that Rafa Benitez would want to stay with us and get us out of the Championship,and the board go "no thanks,your too expensive" "We'll phone Nigel Pearson" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 After the youth academies and faculties he's seen and worked in he must think he's gone back in time 20 years with our setup. On the plus side, there are probably some really obvious areas for improvement (aside from spending money). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Is there any chance at all he'd commit to the club and stay to get us up and go from there or is that just wishful thinking? By May, I'll have convinced myself that he's fallen in love with the club, feels guilty and pledges to bring us straight back. Especially if no other job comes up. But realistically he'll go. Valencia will probably be looking. As if we'd pay him the wages anyway. We'd be the ones invoking the clause, before he can even think about it. Probably true Dave. But remember how certain you were that we wouldn't pay his wages while we were in the premier league? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Why would he bother taking the job just for 10 games? If we stay up, I'm positive he'll stay. No chance he is managing in the Championship though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they might have learned something about false economies by now though. If we have to pay a few million extra to keep the right manager then surely it's worth it to get us back up and grab that extra £80m? Not that Rafa is likely to stay though, but it should be his decision not ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
