TRon Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I love Rafa, but must admit I would be excited by an appointment like Pochettino. With the cash to buy quality, I think he would come here. A bit torn because I do get that Rafa was the perfect ambassador for Newcastle, but I would love to see attacking football here again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect a better attacking side with proper investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I want Rafa over anyone else. Sure, there are managers whose sides play more exciting football, but I just love the man and he has unfinished business here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect a better attacking side with proper investment. We'd be more effective when we were attacking, but his game has always been more about being compact and hitting teams on the break. Even at Liverpool he was fairly conservative. I'd take it every time like, don't get me wrong, he's still one of the world's best managers. Just would be quite open to a high class attacking manager like Poch as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being honest I wouldn’t put up with his style from another manager. I see Poch as a great manager and coach, but we need someone to build the club from top to bottom, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I don’t think anyone in the world would do a better job of that than Rafa. Rafa would want a day in architectural plans for a new training ground, decide the academy structure and who operates what with in it. He’d want to add to the transfer structure he’s already put in place and have full say of who comes and goes and for what price. This is what we need, someone who knows how to build a clubs infrastructure. The question is would the new owners be willing to let up that amount of control. The fact they’ve been auditioning candidates for a new sporting director might suggest not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but like I posted a few days ago the idea of having Allegri or Pochettino as manager under new owners intrigues me. A lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Could anyone see Rafa playing ASM? I’d hate to see him benched if Rafa came back. If it’s a case of Rafa or ASM who would you pick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max is usually gassed after an hour, so bringing him on for the last half hour doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world to me. Especially if you've got a team who can play competently by themselves without him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
