TRon Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 When we were linked on Wednesday I pulled out Bellamy's book to re-read what he'd said about him. I think the players will hate him, like. He'll get them winning games if they listen to him, though. Guessing he doesn't suffer fools and players who don't listen to what he wants them to do. Well we've seen where being good pals with the players gets you with McClaren. These guys will do the job they are asked to or be out of the door. Benitez is very specific in how he sets teams out, and he won't be putting up with some of the comical defending we saw against Bournemouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-more Mag Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Oh shit. That reminds me. I promised to change my opinion of Whitesnake if he was right. And he was right. I probably ought not have done that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 When we were linked on Wednesday I pulled out Bellamy's book to re-read what he'd said about him. I think the players will hate him, like. He'll get them winning games if they listen to him, though. What did he say about him? Bellamy is the exact kind of character, who you'd expect to clash with......... well anyone. But despite what you read about how detailed Benitez is and how his football is a bit boring. It seems a lot of his former players are speaking highly of him. Carragher said exactly the same things about him in his book: outstanding tactically but a total control freak and extremely ruthless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phillipealbert Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 wonder who his captain will be? Hopefully not Colo. Zero leadership. I'd pick someone with a bit of spark. Probably Shelvey. He's the only one who's shown a bit of fight so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

last_monetarist Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I found it hard to take football seriously after Keegan resigned second time around and that clown Kinnear was appointed in his stead. Surprised to feel the offshoot of something resembling hope this afternoon. Lain dormant far too long for comfort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 This day's been insane....I've been teaching so couldn't even have a sneaky deak on my phone between lunch and finish, just caught up now. This is a monumental coup for us, one which will probably have fans elsewhere questioning his sanity. Kudos to Rafa though, to have the cojones to take on what is a massive task that lesser managers wouldn't have touched with a ten foot cattle prod. When I heard it on the radio in the car i just burst out laughing. Unbelievable day. I've got this weird sensation that I haven't felt for over a decade. What's it called again? Oh yeah....optimism.

Wil Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Still can't quite believe this could be the outcome of everything we've been put through by the club these past years, it's unbelievable really. It'll all be on a knife edge until the end of the season, but at least there is now something to look forward to if we can somehow stay in this league, even if it is just a tantalising glimpse at the moment. Rafa could have such a a huge positive impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Biggest signing the club has made since shearer/robson. Really hope we stay up and this isn't a false dawn. Loved being told by a load of mackems at work today why this is a bad signing... Just sat grinning ear to ear whilst trying to eat my lunch. Not bitter in the slightest.
