STM Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If/When Benitez signs, do you think this will be the same unveiling as McClaren... i.e. interview on NUFCTV then released to the various media partners, or something a bit more public/formal, given the apparent feeling about his arrival? No, it will be a statement, maybe a limited interview, possibly combined with the pre-match interview. There will be one picture at most and he will be busy getting the squad ready for Monday. No way they will take time out to take photos from every area of the ground and such. Bet they do take time. Hope he gives an interview saying he's going to kick players arses.

mozy Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 So: Rafa is a committed 4-2-3-1 man right? Be interesting where he sees the players fitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odear Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 If/When Benitez signs, do you think this will be the same unveiling as McClaren... i.e. interview on NUFCTV then released to the various media partners, or something a bit more public/formal, given the apparent feeling about his arrival? If they are forking out 4m a year, they'll wheel him out to the press. It's a statement of intent and the more coverage it gets, the more it will seep into the players mindset too. I think the way they announced Shteve was pretty much "nothing to see here, carry on". Probably knowing that things could easily go pear shaped for him.. and the club. They need all the positive headlines they can get right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Anybody more nervous now of relegation? My apathy will be completely gone if Rafa is in charge, staying up will mean something. It's going to be excruciating watching the last ten games knowing that if we stay up we get Rafa and if we go down we revert back to type. This is what is stopping me being over the moon, it's turned the next 10 games into a nightmare I had completely switched off all emotion towards the club until now. Shit You're right. I'm usually laughing as we make fools of ourselves on tv, I'm going to be bricking it on Monday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I couldn't resist looking on RTG 'It means nothing. None of it. It's all about the next 9 or 10 games and I would genuinely prefer Sam in this situation.' :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
