Abra Dubravka Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Benitez wouldn’t have been settling for a point a game after spending £100m plus. Rafa didn’t want a transfer budget. His last meeting with Newcastle United was regarding training ground and youth academy improvement. Rafa walked away... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Rafa should have paid for the training ground out of his own money if he wanted it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Benitez wouldn’t have been settling for a point a game after spending £100m plus. Rafa didn’t want a transfer budget. His last meeting with Newcastle United was regarding training ground and youth academy improvement. Rafa walked away... Due to a complete lack of ambition shown by the club. This was proven when they later appointed Steve Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just heard some sound bite with him saying International break can’t come quick enough, because after that players are back fit. No retrospective analyses of performance, not even touching on how great that equaliser is for the group. Just think about what message this sends out to his current players who are starting. "Can't wait until my big players are back because I think yous are shit" One Mourinho quote always stuck with me when he said he never wanted to discuss players who were injured, as far as he was concerned they were out of the picture. I think I prefer Mourinho's approach fair to say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Even when you give him the fact his Championship clubs should have a better win rate, for this to be his worst ever is some achievement. This number will have been boosted too by playing teams 2 or 3 leagues below too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbthree3 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Even if "the stats" regarding points haven't been too dissimilar since we were promoted, the most striking thing was we picked up in the second half when form matters. The first half doesn't decide the future of the club for a year, but falling apart in the second has disastrous consequences which I don't think some people appreciate enough - even if it seems blindingly obvious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 He's literally surpassed himself with his form here and created a new low, beating himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 To be fair he managed most of those clubs in the league below at least part of the time, so not sure they’re fair comparisons. There’s enough stats from this season we could use that would be far more effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Maximin Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I don’t really care about the Sunderland thing but it’s not surprising a guy who managed both Tyne and Wear, Birmingham and Sheffield clubs has persistently showed a lack of loyalty throughout his managerial career.

There’s enough stats from this season we could use that would be far more effective. To me that's the funniest part. All those years having his stats boosted by managing promotion caliber teams in the Championship and his winning % is still fucking horrendous.

Alberts_Lob Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Steve Bruce started the season with a target of a point a game and he's matching that, its just so crap to watch and the scary thing is that would be his target next season and the one after that and the one after that and so on. Standing still is progress for Bruce. Standing still is exactly what Mike Ashley wants too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Said this before, but remember laughing at him during his time as Sunderland manager for doing that exact same thing. Hasn't learned a fucking thing in over 10 years as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
