Rafa Benítez (now unemployed)

[tgarve]

Rafa was incredible, if he could spend money with us at the top half of his wish list instead of the bottom then he would win something here. That's what we've craved. I'd lose my shit with excitement even if simply we won the League Cup.

 

What if we won the league cup this season under Bruce ( by some fluke )

[HaydnNUFC]

Would prefer Allegri or Pochettino if a takeover was to happen for the same reasons Disco put. Would love it if he came back regardless, mind.

[nufcjb]

I am going to put my money on one of the s*** media pundits a.k.a Bruce's media brigade, to come on Soccer Saturday or on BT tomorrow and slate Rafa for being 'disrespectful'  talking about another manager's job an destablising the team for coming out and talking about the Newcastle job when Bruce is doing a fantastic job at the club. Hope its followed up by a crushing 6-0 loss but they'll blame Rafa for that too.

[Raconteur]

Don't get the "never go back" craic. Should Keegan have not come back? Obviously it ended badly, but where was that sentiment when he got a tune out of Viduka-Owen-Martins and it seemed Ashley might well be a good owner (!) ?

[Paully]

He's by a billion miles my number one choice if a takeover goes through! I don't give a rat's arse what some of our fans will say or the bellends in the media! If you think they were bad with Rafa first time then they'll be far worse if he takes one of their PFM favourite's jobs! Ferk them!

 

Unfinished business!

100%. Just imagine being back in SJP singing “Rafa is our king” with ambitious owners behind him man. Stuff dreams are made off.

Yep. I’m on the same page.

 

I’d take Poch mind if we can’t have Rafa.

Dunno why I let myself get TRIGGERED by it but the Chronicle comments section is exactly what you'd expect after Rafa's latest comments. The contempt from some is just... bah, no words really. Staggering how thick some are. Did nowt, money grabber, why are ppl still on about him, etc etc.

Nothing positive or intelligent has ever been said on the Chronicle comments section.

Anytime a building is proposed the same ‘Why aren’t the council building homes for soldiers/homeless?’ question always gets asked. It doesn’t matter how many times people tell them that it’s a private development proposed by a private developer on land that is privately owned, they never understand.

Same. Couldn't believe what I was reading. Didn't realise there were so many idiots supporting this club. Be the same sheep thats kept Ashley here so long

Absolute idiots.

 

The ‘left for the money’ patter is hilarious - erm, left from where exactly?!

[Consortium of one]

I'd take Rafa in a heartbeat but I still have a hunch that Poch is waiting for the takeover to be completed.

[Smal]

Not saying you can read much into it, but I think it's telling the likes of Lascelles and Lejeune like practically all of Rafa's Instagram posts. Can imagine it was so much easier being a CB under Rafa compared to Bruce - they're clearly fond of him.

[Yorkie]

Cos Hicks and Gillette responded to his request for transfer funds by telling him to concentrate on coaching the team. He ended up with Skrtel and Mascherano.

I was sitting with the toon fans (red shirt on open display)... I'd been told by guy next to me I'd be tolerated, providing I was respectful to the The Toon. By the end, he was demanding I join in, slagging off Fat Sam. Stotty and a pint for breakfast. Good day out overall.

Got a new doggo.

Balague;

 

“He would love to come to the Premier League, and my answer would be ‘yes’, if the takeover takes place – and if it’s the same people taking over the club and still want him he would say yes to the possibility of going back to Newcastle because there is still a little bit of unfinished business there.”

[Tisd09]

Imagine the pundits if he did come back. They will go out of their way to highlight any faults or any transfer that doesn't work out.

 

Although I would imagine none of that would bother the man himself.

 

If the takeover did happen I would prefer Rafa over Poch, we may getting football that is easier on the eye than with Rafa but Rafa just seems to get the club and think we would be in better hands.

 

I also think if Poch did well with us he would be touted to "bigger clubs" I can see a Rafa return being his last job?

I said that last week but ferk them! He's my first choice by a mile and I totally agree about your last point too!

[Happinesstan]

The pundits have questioned Rafa's methods, every season, since 2004.

[Shearergol]

"So Rio, another loss for Newcastle tonight, going down 2-1 to a late Salah penalty. What's your thoughts on Rafa's influence now he's back?"

 

"I mean, I know the fans love him, he's their saviour, but he's been in charge for 3 weeks now which is more than long enough to sort this team of players out. People were getting on Bruce's back from day one, but his hands were tied, and got them playing some fantastic attacking football. That's what the fans want, they don't want any of this trying to draw with Liverpool at Anfield. If anything they've gone backwards since Bruce left"
