He doesn't like fat Sam.We could have possible Jose vs FSW,Wenger, and Pep
Anyone else he doesnt like ?
Rafa Benitez | Sacked (Fachts)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Should make some of those games interesting
I think I'd almost prefer him to stay up. Imagine him beating Liverpool with Newcastle. RAWK wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
From Real Madrid to Championship?
Fantastic.
Sunderland are going down.

Well they had a brawl near to the buffet table
Newcastle is playing Liverpool at Anfield on 23 April.
Big appointment for Newcastle. The hardest part for him will be surviving this season. If he does I can see him doing really well there. But the present mess they're in will need everyone there pulling together. To be fair their team is so much better than Sunderland's and has no business finishing beneath them.
Too late. I hope they go down.
At this rate of decline he will end up at Notts County for the start of next season.
What the feck.
I know we make fun of him but he's far too good to be managing there.

I fecking hope so. The bastards have escaped relegation far too many times the past few years.
I'll be delighted if they go down.
They'll still go down, with that fat pile of shit or without him.
To be fair, he's had a very inconsistent career development
Valencia -> Liverpool -> Inter -> Chelsea -> Napoli -> Real -> Newcastle
He could end up at Notts County next season only to be Bayern Munich's manager the season after.
Yep.
Still haven't forgotten how they celebrated City winning the league on the last day of the 2012 season. The cnuts can go down and stay there as far as I'm concerned.
Solid appointment.
Fair play to the FSW. He wants to work and obviously is going head first in a pile of shite. Newcastle is a shambolic run football club with organizational chaos and too much influence/power in the hands of the wrong individuals. Newcastle have had approximately 9 managers/caretakers since Mike Ashley's takeover in 2007. That's one manager per season on average!
I think there is a relegation clause
Will he stay if they do get relegated?
Himself, youth players, the Spanish, women?We could have possible Jose vs FSW,Wenger, and Pep
Anyone else he doesnt like ?
How the mighty has fallen...
From Perez to Mike Ashley.
Unforgivable.
Where's the Sackwatch in the title?

Good signing by Newcastle, he's miles ahead of every other manager they've had since Robson. He'll keep them up but they'll need an overhaul in the summer because their squad is absolute dogshit.
Strange move by Rafa. I'm not confident they will stay up as they can't defend. Plus Big Sam has more experience in relegation battles.
He has already buttered up the fans.
But what does that mean exactly? Relegation battle or not, it's still just football matches, and Benitez is a much better manager than Allardyce with better tactics, and a better team also, so I'd be very surprised if Allardyce keeps his title as a manager who's never been relegated.
Benitez is a good manager and i think newcastle are the right fit for him. He won't have to deal with big egos and the expectations are pretty low at this point, he'll do well if given enough time.
Nobody in their right mind does.
Apparently there is a clause that he can leave at the end of the season if they get relegated.
Why?. He did not want the job anyway and would prefer to manage abroad again.Newcastle will stay up now
poor Moyes
No big egos?
He has to deal with Mike Ashley.
The one consistent thing throughout benitez' career is that he falls out with owners and boards. Even at Valencia he did, its why he left. Toon will be no different.
His biggest problem is that hes not much of a man manager, alerdyce will get his team playing as a team, togetherness and so on. I don't think rafa's style will do the same, and in a relegation battle self belief and teamwork is the key to surviving, seen it enough times before. Individuals get relegated, teams stay up.
Solid appointment for Newcastle, he will probably keep them up. It will be interesting to see if he gets a decent transfer kitty, he could push Newcastle to a top 7 club.
Did he not humiliate himself enough at Real Sociedad. Is he trying to fail in all the big leagues?
Also where did you see that he didn't want the job
I think in that regard he's changed, i don't think his main problem will be mike ashley at all.
Rafa works best if the players buy into whatever he's selling, and he stands more of a chance succeeding at a club like newcastle than real madrid imo.
Well, for a start, Benitez is used to working with high quality, motivated players whereas Allardyce has often had to make do with mediocre squads.
I really hope I don't jinx this, but thats a bad appointment by Newcastle. They need a Manager who knows what relegation battles are about not someone who will come in and immediately try and change everything, that takes too long to implement.
Yeah that really pissed me off when they did that.
