Mole_Toonfan Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Down from 10 to a 7. Beat the mackems and I think it'd go down to a 4 or a 5. If we beat the mackems then i'm certain we'll stay up, emotionally they'll be in the shitter and we'll do enough between that and the end of the season to break away IMO.

James Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 We will still go down as I do not believe that Benitez will get the players giving their best. In my view, it wasn't the manager who lost the dressing room, it was the club that lost the dressing room and the hierarchy remains. In the last 2 years we have seen: Unimpressive treatment leading up to the departures of some players (Ben Arfa, Santon, Taylor, Jonas), A popular player now suing the club for how he was treated when suffering from cancer, Being abandoned with John Carver as manager for several months Chronic lack of ambition Even in the process of getting rid of Schteve we have shamed this club. Benitez will never regain the dressing room, because it is the club that is lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won't change the fact that the players will not be motivated to play for this club as a result of how the hierarchy has treated them. Not even Guardiola could turn things around. I wish Benitez all the best, he is a very good manager, but this club is rotten beyond repair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 5-6 now. Rafa arriving will be a boost, we should win the derby, Crystal Pardew and Swansea. But need results away as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Think James has a fair point, just hope the players forget about everything else once they have a manager that can get them enjoying their work again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, hope that makes the difference. Considering we went deep in the Champions League with some pretty dodgy defenders, I'm hoping that organisation and motivation can do enough to tighten us up sufficiently. We still lack goals as well, but we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Down from a 10 to an 8. It's a phenomenal appointment but still think it'll be too late. Too much rides on the derby, even though I think Leicester (a), Liverpool (a) and Man City (h) suddenly seem winnable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Going from a 10 to a 7 or whatever doesn't actually make any sense. You can't just be 100% positive that we are going to go down and then change your mind. Only a trivial thing obviously but the thing that annoys me most about this thread is when people put 10 as their answer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 The current/old Newcastle doesn't have enough winnable games, remains to be seen what the new-look team will be able to do. Basically I had already accepted we were going down, kind of resent being given hope again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 It's a thread based on gut feeling at the time. I was certain while McClaren was here, now there's been enough change to bring some hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 About a 5% chance of staying up to 33.3% for me now based on manager alone, definitely worth rolling the dice for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a 10, we were absolutely dead and buried, but reckon Rafa could give us as good as 50/50 chance of staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
