r0cafella Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Rafa is my first choice personally. With backing and patience we would be in Europe within 3 years imo. He’s the closest to a sure thing as possible. The problem is, it’s impossible to get him so we will have to plump for someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 4 minutes ago, reefatoon said: Totally agree. It’s exciting hearing new managers methods and tactics, like Fonseca who is all about having and controlling the ball. I would much rather see that implemented (especially in home games), than the style of giving up possession and hitting on the counter. I also think parts of the crowd will get tired of Rafas style very quickly now with us not being a two bit shite Ashley ran club anymore and expectations a lot higher. Something I wouldn’t want to see is him getting stick. Definitely time to move on to someone new and exciting. We never saw Rafa’s style, he just used all of his experience to turn an absolute turd into one of the best drilled units in the Premier League. If he’d have been allowed to build on that I have absolutely no doubt we’d be a top 8 club right now. Then the money comes, he could literally swap out players as instant upgrades without having to guess at what was going to work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRaspberryJam Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Benitez is the only one on the poll that I feel would guarantee us survival. Which is a pisser given he won't be coming here.# EDIT: Plus Rodgers. Edited October 26, 2021 by Mr Raspberry Jam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1988 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I think that the speed at which the takeover went through after such a delay is why we now have such a large list of options. It's obvious that Rafa was their guy from the start and everything was set for him to stay/come back as manager and build the club as he saw fit with full backing from the Saudis. Obviously the delay has resulted in him going to Everton which now leaves him (supposedly) unavailable and the consortium a bit stuck/ on the back foot. They want someone that will handle the football side, Rafa would have done both the roles of DoF and Manager so I think the 'delay' now is figuring out whether they need one guy or two and whether said guy or guys have the right type of vision and plan for the development of the club as a whole - as Rafa did. This is why I can't see Fonseca coming unless they have a DoF lined up too who specifically wants him. We're either going to get a Rafa type that will do both jobs or a package a la Overmars and Ten Hag. Either way, I'm happy for them to take their time and who knows, if Everton get spanked again this weekend they might just be a bit more willing to answer the phone.

Lazarus Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Gonna be super difficult to pull off Ten hag and Overmars i think. Its not just the 2 blokes to bring over, its their families too.

cosmic Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Could this be the leftest of left field appointment? Preparing to accept a short term deal till Rafa or someone else is available? Gattuso link Gennaro Gattuso would be willing to accept a short-term deal at Newcastle United, according to Italian journalist Fabio Santini. Speaking on 7 Gold’s program, Il Processo, via Area Napoli, he said: "Attention: there is a sensational twist for what concerns Mr. Gennaro Gattuso. "The coach could reach the Premier League at Newcastle. "The Calabrian coach would also accept a fixed-term contract until the end of the current football season.

Bimpy474 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) As we know Rafa is principled, he won't walk away from Everton. I'd personally want Potter, but i don't think we're looking in that direction. Fonseca, Favre and even Gerrard (OK, possibly a bit to prove yet) are far superior to the buffoon we've had to put up with, along with Carver and Pardew (who i still hate the most) who were just embarrassing and pathetic. It is strange turning our noses up at managers we would have semi welcomed not so long ago, it's a good feeling like.

Yorkie Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Gattuso sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Feel like you won't get anywhere in top level management being that volatile. Pity Nuno decided to go on a hiding to nothing at Spurs cos I reckon he'd have been a good fit here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
