Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)


Recommended Posts

 

Interesting.

 

Please let this be because Rafa wants his own people in.

 

Did Rafa bring him in? Can't remember.

 

Nah.. He was brought by Joe Joyce as a U18 manager back in 2011 or something.. Carver had him as a senior defensive coach during his tenure.

Am I stupid for thinking fatty might give in to Rafa's demands to keep hold of him?

 

Unless he's clinically insane you would think he would, although I think it will be a case of compromise on some issues, signing players of a certain age bracket being one area Rafa might have to go along with as long as he gets a decent budget.

I was reading Luke Edward's article on some quotes from Benitez's press conference yesterday and I'm not happy the club seem confident Benitez will stay. I don't think the confidence comes from the club willing to give some of the Benitez wants to sign a new contract, I think they are being complacent and probably think Benitez will stay just to be close to home so only have to offer him a decent contract.

 

Benitez seems open to managing abroad again judging from what he said at his press conference yesterday and has no interest in fighting relegation battles again next season as much as he loves Newcastle. He is correct this club should be competing with the likes of Everton in the Premier League rather than worrying about Cardiff. I would go further and say that this club could compete with Spurs if it was ran properly because its not too long ago Spurs were a midtable club and we were competing in the Champions League. If Raneiri can get a job at the likes of Roma then I think it would be no surprise if clubs wanting to compete for European football abroad would be interested in having Benitez as their manager next season.

I'm emotionally exhausted from loving this man. Changed the game with his switches today. As soon as Ritchie got out of the way I the right hand side of the pitch, we were all over them.
